Instructional Modules Demonstrating Building Energy Analysis Using a Building Information Model
… fully realized. Traditionally, building energy models have been created separately from architectural building information models (BIMs), and energy analyses have relied on a single analysis tool. By leveraging existing data from the BIM, energy models can be generated more quickly and the use …

The Power of Protest Messages: An Information Model on Protest Participation in China}
… in an authoritarian context. By proposing an information model, I argue that citizens' participation is affected by the behaviors of the government and the protesters included in the protest message. Such effects are moderated by (1) the partially free media environment that selectively …

An information model to support maintenance and operation management of building mechanical systems
This thesis presents an information model developed to represent, organize, and link information essential to maintenance and operation management, a facility management function. It first describes the facility management domain and identifies facility information as a primary element to sustain …

An information model for managing design changes in a collaborative multi-disciplinary design environment
… This thesis presents the development of a model that uses information technology to address the problem. The core concept of the model is a central database that functions as a repository of active building components. Each building component in this database not only carries its design …

Using the common information model for power systems as a framework for applications to support network data interchange for operations and planning
The Common Information Model (CIM) is an object-oriented representation of a power system used primarily as a data exchange format for power system operational control systems and as a common semantic model to facilitate enterprise application integration. The CIM has the potential to be used as …

Suitability of the NIST Shop Data Model as a Neutral File Format for Simulation
… and Technology (NIST) has developed an XML-based information model (XSD) called the Shop Data Model (SDM), which is used to describe the contents of a neutral file format (NFF) that is being promoted as a means to make manufacturing simulation technology more accessible to a larger group of …

An Information-Theoretic Framework for Consistency Maintenance in Distributed Interactive Applications
… of PCMs using concepts and methods derived from information theory. This information theory perspective results in a novel information model of PCMs that quantifies and analyzes the efficiency of such methods in communicating the reduced state information, and a new adaptive multiple-model-based …

DYNAMIC ONTOLOGIES THAT ENCODE AND MANAGE RELEVANCE IN CONTEXT AWARE SYSTEMS
… context management systems require a generic modeling and context delivery system. Previous research has shown that generic context aware systems prove to be quite dynamic through their use of ontologies. These ontologies, however, are very rigid in nature, requiring additional software to …

"A Content Analysis of a Sample of Articles Written on Education in ""The New York Times"
… articles would be able to construct a cultural model of American education. However, it was determined that what was present in these New York Times articles may more appropriately be labeled an information model of American education rather than a cultural model. However, it is believed that …

Sanctioned and Controlled Message Propagation in a Restrictive Information Environment: The Small World of Clandestine Radio Broadcasting
… seeks to identify the elements that inform the model for competing message propagation systems in a restrictive environment. It pays attention to message propagation by sanctioned and clandestine radio stations in pre- and post-independent Zimbabwe. This dissertation uses two models of message …

Randomized algorithms for reliable broadcast
… fault tolerant distributed computing in the full-information model. The full-information model is a strong adversarial model which imposes no restrictions on the computational power of the faulty players nor on the information available to them. Namely, the faulty players are infinitely powerful …
