Following a competitive selection from over 1.500 papers the EU funded project iSense received the Best Paper Award 2014 from the international journal Building and Environment granted annually by the publisher Elsevier. The awarded paper is entitled “Contaminant event monitoring in multi-zone buildings using the state-space method” and investigates the problem of monitoring contaminants in intelligent buildings.
The iSense project –was coordinated by the University of Cyprus and finished at the end of last year. The consortium had five partners from Cyprus, Italy, UK and Spain. The focus has been on cognitive system approaches that can learn characteristics of the monitored environment and can adapt their behavior and predict missing or inconsistent data to achieve fault tolerant monitoring and control.
