SEMS: Smart Energy Management System

SEMS services
Philosophie " Bio- inspiré : Intelligence ar.ficielle inspiré de la nature, du comportement des insectes sociaux. Le cas des abeilles vivant en essaim : l échange d'informa.on entre elles (la distance, la direc.on, la quan.té et la nature de la nourriture) fait que, globalement, elles arrivent à résoudre des problèmes difficiles, (exploita.on de sources de nourriture, construc.on de rayons, etc.). " Une intelligence collec.ve émerge de l interac.on entre des agents rela.vement simples. " L ac.on collec.ve des agents trouve des solu.ons au problème sans aucun superviseur. " Stignergy est inspiré des principes de la S.gmergie qui se réfère au comportement d insectes sociaux.
