Abstract

The design of the control system is a crucial point for improving the thermal comfort level in the smart home environment. Compared to the conventional temperature control system, a thermal comfort control (TCC) system can provide a better human comfort. Due to system complexity, the TCC system is usually designed as a hybrid system. To ensure the design of a highly energy efficient thermal comfort control (EETCC) system, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) can offer numerous opportunities. This paper addresses the time delay modeling issues of the EETCC system. Following the execution model of the programming temporally integrated distributed embedded systems (PTIDES), the real-time requirements of execution tasks can be guaranteed. In addition, as the task dependency relations widely exist in the practical applications, by using a directed acyclic graph and the proposed schemes, these task dependency relations can also be dealt properly.
