An intelligent energy-saving information interface agent with web service techniques

Abstract

This paper focuses on developing an intelligent energy-saving information interface agent system with Web service techniques in cloud environments. This system contains two main portions: an information processing and decision-making platform, and a cloud information interface. The proposed system architecture not only satisfies a lot of interface system designs, but also presents unique functions of interface agents, and then shows that the decision-making precision, system reliability and system validity yield excellent system qualities. In terms of user satisfaction according to Quesenbery and Nielsen, the proposed system can score as high as 73 %. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
