title = "WSAN QoS Driven Control Model for Building Operations",
abstract = "Currently wireless based control systems lack appropriate development methodologies and tools. The control model and its underlying wireless network are typically developed separately, which can lead to unstable and suboptimal implementations. In this paper we introduce a hybrid-based design methodology that considers the performance parameters of the Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) in order to develop an optimized control system tailored to the specific application environment and sensor network conditions. We first identify the boundaries of the control parameters thatmaintain stable and optimal controlmodel. Within these boundaries,we determine the optimalWSAN Quality of Service (QoS) parameters through a tuning process in order to reach to optimal Control/WSAN design as illustrated in the case study. The methodology has been illustrated through a distributed lighting control developed using our hybrid/multi-agent platform.",
