The European Commission's Role in Policy Making Process and BeAware Project

INFSO-SKIN Flowchart

Task:

I am Uploading textbook incase needed Janssen, Wimmer, and Delijoo (2015) shows us in the flowchart of INFSO-SKIN that the European Commission plays a very important role in the policy making process. They publish the call or proposals, evaluate the proposals, fund the research consortia, and accepts the deliverables from completed research. Elaborate on the roles of the European Commission in the policy making process. Your research paper should, double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format).

Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date. Submit your assignment on or before the due date.

BeAware studies how ubiquitous information can turn energy consumers into active players by developing: an open and capillary infrastructure wirelessly sensing energy use at appliance level in the home and mobile interaction to integrate energy use profiles into users’ everyday life. Value added service platforms and models are provided where consumers can act on ubiquitous energy information and energy producers and other actors gain new business opportunities. The prime challenge in BeAware is to provide consumers with a new kind of feedback about electricity conservation and turn them into active and responsible consumers.

The objective of this project is to specify, design and validate a data management technology platform that will support integrated energy and environmental management in buildings utilizing a combination of wireless sensor network technologies, an integrated data model and data mining methods and technologies. Energy and environmental performance management systems for residential buildings do not exist and consist of an ad hoc integration of wired building management systems and monitoring and targeting systems for nonresidential buildings. These systems are unsophisticated and do not easily lend themselves to cost-effective retrofit or integration with other enterprise management systems.
