From June 17 – 18, 2010 the consortium held its 4th project meeting at EZAN in Chernogolovka, Russia. Two days of itense prototyping kept us busy, but we finally succeded in integrating all hardware and software components of the metering system (for details conduct the following blogpost).
Enjoy some impressions of our journey!
Rainy arrival at Domodevodo airport near Moscow.

During our f2f-meeting in Belgrade from December 17 – 18, 2010 the Serbian TV station eTV produced a feature about the project and its impact on the Serbian energy market. Enjoy (in Serbian language)!

From December 17 – 18, 2009 we held our second project meeting in Belgrade. Frosty weather made our trip quite adventerous but did not hinder us to make some big conceptual leaps in our project goals (For details please refer to the post on the SeSaMe architecture.)

From 14th to 15th of September 2009 we held our kick off meeting at FTW Vienna for our Smart Matering project called SeSaMe. This acronym stands for SEmantic SmArt Metering and adresses the use of computational semantics to improve energy consumption in terms of efficiency and personal awareness.
The high-level societal goal of the project SeSaMe is to facilitate home owners or building managers (also referred to as users or end-customers) in saving energy within their environments and in optimizing their energy costs, while actively controlling and maintaining their preferred quality of living. Therefore an international consortium of five partners was formed bringing together various competencies and fields of expertise.
For the end-customers the project will design novel tools which, on the one hand, support creation and maintenance of policies describing preferences in energy use (e.g., green energy, vs. gray energy), and describing rules in devices’ control, and on the other hand in-tegrate policy-based reasoning, and actuation of appliances. For this purpose semantic modeling, SOA-based design and multi-objective reasoning methods will be used.
In addition, targeting energy providers and grid operators, the project will design a semantic-enabled SOA-based foundation for a new type of information services for interaction with end customers: the Energy Information Services shall automatically channel relevant energy information (e.g., pricing) over the Internet into the user policy framework to be further used in automatic reasoning; the Energy Optimization Services enable users to delegate their control over the environment (switching on/off of some devices, or configuring actuators), though under the constraints of their policies, to the energy supplier, so as to achieve higher level of energy optimization.
We will keep you updated about future developments in the project. Stay tuned!
