Abstract
The evolution of technology allows to people with special capabilities of mobility to perform the activities faster and easier. The intelligent environments combined with optimization algorithms and middleware agents could help to this aim. This paper presents the design and the implementation of an architecture of a middleware agent that allows us to make the communication between heterogeneous devices (sensors and actuators of different communication protocols from WiFi to ZigBee). On the other hand, we present a comparison study between micro-algorithms used to get lighting comfort in order to perform an activity in a confined space; this is affect by the light from the outside, which can be blocked by shutters and doors, and lighting of lamps obtained within this space. The micro-algorithm evaluated were: Genetic Algorithm (GA), Artificial Immune System (AIS), Estimation Distribution Algorithm (EDA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Bee Algorithm (BA) and Bee Swarm Optimization (BSO).
