Best Paper Runner-up Award at the “24th International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications ” for the paper “An Energy Management System at the Edge based on Reinforcement Learning”. Congratulations to colleagues F. Cicirelli, A.F. Gentile, E. Greco, A. Guerrieri, G. Spezzano, A. Vinci who carried out the work within the COGITO project which deals with cognitive buildings, the natural evolution of smart buildings, in which studies how the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings can be achieved through the aid of new technologies such as Internet-of-Things (IoT), real-time monitoring, cognitive control, peer-to-peer energy, smart contracts, as well as cyber-security integrated with artificial intelligence algorithms.
