Title
Demo Abstract: Human-in-the-loop BMS Point Matching and Metadata Labeling with Babel.
Abstract
The inconsistent metadata in Building Management Systems (BMS) hinders the deployment of cyber-physical applications in non-residential buildings. In this demonstration we present Babel, a continuous, human-in-the-loop and crowdsourced approach to the creation and maintenance of BMS metadata. Occupants provide physical and digital input in form of actuations (e.g., the switching of a light) and readings (e.g., the reading of the room temperature of a thermostat) to Babel. Babel then matches this input to digital points in the BMS based on value equality. We have implemented a prototype of our system in a non-residential building over the BACnet protocol. While our approach can not solve all metadata problems, this demonstration illustrates that it is able to match many relevant points in a fast and precise manner.
