Original Abstract Submitted
A distributed control system is provided by a brokering architecture. Message brokers running within multiple compute environments coordinate communication and data storage for control applications. Control applications run in one compute environment send the results to the message broker which may store the data for future calculations and/or send the data to a remote data base. Control applications may be state-less and store all information in the message brokers. Data from one environment may be sent over a message bus to other environments to be used as inputs to calculations. The distributed control system is used to provide responsive control to various building equipment.
