WebArc: Control and monitoring of building systems over the Web.

摘要

This thesis documents the development of WebArc, a software package which senses and controls building systems and devices through the web. The prototype of the WebArc package controls and acquires data from a server located and connected within a building. A remote user sends a signal to the server which in turn controls the electrical building devices, using a parallel port. WebArc also notifies the users with alerts and warnings through pagers and cellphones. WebArc can be used in areas of experiments and live implementations in buildings and laboratories for remote controlled operations, and remote data acquisition.
