Developing an energy-saving and case-based reasoning information agent with Web service and ontology techniques

摘要

Web service and ontology techniques are presented herein for supporting an energy-saving and case-based reasoning information agent. The proposed system is the first energy-saving and case-based reasoning information agent with Web service and ontology techniques in a cloud environment; the proposed architecture is also the first multi-agent structure of an energy-saving information system in a practical environment. Not only can it explore related technologies to establish a Web service platform, but it can also study how to construct cloud interactive diagrams to employ Web service techniques for extensively and seamlessly integrating energy-saving and a case-based reasoning information agent on the Internet. The complete in depth system development, display, and corresponding experiments and comparisons show that the research results not only attest to the feasibility of the proposed architecture, but are also highly successful; on average, 40% of the data queries can be answered by the proposed system, and its rate of correct data solutions is around 85.1%, leaving about 60% of the queries for the backend system to take care of, which can effectively alleviate the overloading problem usually associated with a backend server. Finally, the system is put into a practical environment; after 8 months of experiments, the total energy-saving is 22.44%.
