Meeting minutes 02102015

Plan for the further exploration of use cases
- Here we will briefly discuss our steps for exploring a select set of use cases in more detail.
Introduction to ReqCap tool
- Matthias Weise will introduce the ReqCap tool which we will be making use of to capture data requirements for the selected use cases.
Discussion of selected use cases for further exploration
- Here we will identify a set of use cases, based on our classification, for further exploration using the ReqCap tool.
- Currently we intend to explore one from each of the following, if you wish to explore others, please let us know on the call (or before hand)
  - Optimized Building Design for Energy Efficient Operation
  - Intelligent and Integrated Control Based on Building Behavior (of devices)
  - Intelligent and Integrated Control Based on Building Behavior (occupancy)
  - Intelligent and Integrated Control Based on Predictive Energy Simulation
  - Visualization and Monitoring of Building Data (e.g. Energy Consumption) for Decision Support

<Explore use case data requirements using ReqCap tool>, <Kris, Nick, Hendro, Matthias, Willie>, <STATUS: NEW>

All: Introduction and background
Kris: Discusses Genoa VoCamp, alignment server, and steps to align SAREF ontology and ifcOWL. Mentions future VoCamps and involvement of SWIMing
Maxime: We are planning a VoCamp in December 16th/17th around SAREF, ifcOWL and SEAS knowledge model.
Kris: Discusses the selection of use cases and the use of ReqCap tool for capturing exchange requirements.
Matthias: Presents tool
Jakob – Any publications regarding tool?
Matthias - still prototype stage, but based on several years of experience and follows a similar pattern to IDM methodology.
Kris - I think Odilo's simulation use case would be a good starting point for this also.
Odilo - Yes, I was going to say.
Maxime – Would have been good at beginning of our project <SEAS>, but perhaps a bit late now.
Maxime - Could we create a new instance easily so we can try it on a new project? So first inputs, list of use cases…and list of ontologies that are related.
Matthias – Yes, if you already have an ontology or data structure.
Matthias – The tool is flexible.
Maxime – A VoCamp with SEAS experts to work with this tool. Ok, that could be an idea.
Kris - Discusses candidate use cases for further exploration using ReqCap tool, five categories to begin (based around analysis of EeB projects).
Kris - Next call, two weeks same time.
