The controller is based on a multi-agent system and has been implemented in JCSP. It is modularly built, capable of self-configuration and adapting to a dynamic environment. The paper describes the overall architecture and the design of the individual agents. Preliminary results from proof-of-concept tests on a real building are included." }
