Context Presentation

The number of sensors in buildings is constantly increasing, thanks to more accessible costs and the obvious interest of their use for optimized management. In this thesis we are interested in the use of data from these sensors to detect anomalies in buildings. These data, which are very numerous, can be of unknown and heterogeneous types.An anomaly is defined as unexpected and undesirable behaviour in a system and may depend on the context. In order to be able to deploy an anomaly detection system as widely as possible, it is necessary to create a decision support tool for energy experts. To address these issues, a system based on cooperative multi-agent systems implementing AMAS theory is being developed that allows anomalies to be detected by supervised learning. The anomaly detection system must take advantage of the feedback from one or more experts who label certain instances as anomalies or non-anomalies. These feedback are used for learning. The system we develop allows the addition or removal of new sensors without interrupting the detection of anomalies.
