Shrnutí:In parallel to optimizing energy consumption within houses, users' comfort is increasingly considered as an essential success criterion for automated smart home solutions. From the user perspective, balancing trade-offs between energy consumption and users' comfort when scheduling home appliances is a challenging task mainly within dynamic context (energy price, budget, user preferences, energy source, etc). To address this challenge, this paper has modeled appliances scheduling as a dynamic constrained multi-objective optimization problem and have leveraged a recently introduced dynamic evolutionary algorithm for the problem resolution. Moreover, there are typically multiple inhabitants in the same home who often share context-aware applications with various individual preferences which are likely to be conflicting. We propose a new comfort function to support multi-user conflictual preferences. Our experimental results have shown that our approach has a confirmed advantage on the user comfort while coping dynamically with the context changes.
