1.2. Problems,ChallengesandPossibilities
A smart building is a complex system to build and implement since it contain several
smart sub-systems (e.g., smart homes, energy savingmanagement), electronics compo-
nents (e.g., sensors, actuators, controllers) and concepts (e.g., security, energy saving,
go green). It also need to take account of its habitants (e.g., needs, preferences) to pro-
vide adapted services. The interaction of the inner smart building system between the
different entities (e.g., sensors to controller, HMI to device) will allow an easy access
to services and smart appliances, and a selfmanagement of this latter in an intelligent,
automatic and transparentwaywithout user’s intervention.Then, appropriate and inno-
vative technology and tools are required in order to provide better solutions for these
systems.Also,adapteddesignmethodologiesand toolsneed tobeused tosupportall the
desired requirements (e.g., user needs, smart appliances, interaction). Semantics is also
an important aspect to take intoconsiderationwhile implementingsuchsystems.

2.1. IntroductionandOutlooks
Wedefineourproposed smart buildingas anentity equippedwith computer technology
andcomposedof smarthomes, smartmanagement system, smart security system, smart
appliances(e.g.,elevator, light)andseveralkindofsensors(e.g.,presence, light, smoke).
In addition, we also consider the garage and the rooftopwhich are important parts to
