The importance of ethical reasoning in next generation tech education
Reis, Sara; Coelho, Luis; Sarmet, Max; Araújo, Joana; Corchado, Juan M.Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a profound impact on human life, with both benefits and drawbacks in the societal, environmental, and technological realms. However, the ethical implications of AI are often not addressed in technology education, leaving future professionals with a lack of awareness in this area. This is concerning, as AI has the potential to greatly information delivery and affect human t...
Deepint.net: A rapid deployment platform for smart territories
Corchado, Juan M.; Chamoso, Pablo; Hernández, Guillermo; Gutierrez, Agustín San Roman; Camacho, Alberto Rivas; González-Briones, AlfonsoThis paper presents an efficient cyberphysical platform for the smart management of smart territories. It is efficient because it facilitates the implementation of data acquisition and data management methods, as well as data representation and dashboard configuration. The platform allows for the use of any type of data source, ranging from the measurements of a multi-functional IoT sensing devices to relationa...
Determining the maximum length of logical rules in a classifier and visual comp...
Castellanos-Garzón, José A.; Costa, Ernesto; Jaimes, José Luis S.; Corchado, Juan M.Supervised learning problems can be faced by using a wide variety of approaches supported in machine learning. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in using the evolutionary computation paradigm as the classifier search method, helping the technique of applied machine learning. In this context, the knowledge representation in form of logical rules has been one of the most accepted machine learn...
Application Ontology for Multi-Agent and Web-Services’ Co-Simulation in Power a...
Teixeira, Brígida; Santos, Gabriel; Pinto, Tiago; Vale, Zita; Corchado, Juan M.Power and energy systems are very complex, and several tools are available to assist operators in their planning and operation. However, these tools do not allow a sensitive analysis of the impact of the interaction between the different sub-domains and, consequently, in obtaining more realistic and reliable results. One of the key challenges in this area is the development of decision support tools to address ...
Microgrid management system based on a multi-agent approach: An office building...
Gomes, Luis; Vale, Zita; Corchado, Juan M.Microgrids bring advantages to end-users and to the smart grid environment. However, adequate management software, enabling bringing to the field new energy management concepts, is not available yet. Small, single-tasked, software is usually proposed and tested while a clear overall system architecture for microgrid management required to take full advantage of the microgrids’ potential. Previous publications u...
Constrained Generation Bids in Local Electricity Markets: A Semantic Approach
Santos, Gabriel; Faria, Pedro; Vale, Zita; Pinto, Tiago; Corchado, Juan M.he worldwide investment in renewable energy sources is leading to the formation of local energy communities in which users can trade electric energy locally. Regulations and the required enablers for effective transactions in this new context are currently being designed. Hence, the development of software tools to support local transactions is still at an early stage and faces the challenge of constant updates...
Intelligent multi-agent system for water reduction in automotive irrigation pro...
González-Briones, Alfonso; Mezquita, Yeray; Castellanos-Garzón, José A.; Prieto, Javier; Corchado, Juan M.This paper deals with a multi-agent system (MAS) to automate the gathering and managing of information from potato crops in order to provide a precision irrigation system. The proposal and development of a novel MAS is presented based on different agent subsystems with specific objectives to meet the main objective of the global MAS. The proposed MAS has been developed on the Cloud Computing paradigm and is abl...
Energy Scheduling Using Decision Trees and Emulation: Agriculture Irrigation wi...
Abrishambaf, Omid; Faria, Pedro; Vale, Zita; Corchado, Juan M.Agriculture is the very backbone of every country. Unfortunately, agricultural sustainability is threatened by the lack of energy-efficient solutions. The threat becomes more evident with the constantly growing world population. The research community must, therefore, focus on resolving the problem of high energy consumption. This paper proposes a model of energy scheduling in agricultural contexts. Greater ene...
Semantic Web Services for Multi-Agent Systems Interoperability
Canito, Alda; Santos, Gabriel; Corchado, Juan M.; Marreiros, Goreti; Vale, ZitaAgent-based technologies are often used including existing web services. The outputs of some services are also frequently used as inputs for other services, including other MAS. However, while agent-based technologies can be used to provide services, these are not described using the same semantic web technologies web services use, which makes it difficult to discover, invoke and compose them with web services ...
Agent-based architecture for demand side management using real-time resources’ ...
Gomes, Luis; Spínola, João; Vale, Zita; Corchado, Juan M.Microgrids and smart grids are largely accepted concepts in power energy systems. They bring an innovative and distributed view to the old centralized system. This demands a more active participation from end-consumers, that can be achieved by using demand response and demand side management. In this paper it is proposed a solution for demand side management involving and agent-based architectures that was depl...
