OptiControl project website

Recently I got this email from Dr. Dimitrios Gyalistras of ETH Zurich:

I would like to draw your attention to the newly launched website of the project Use of Weather and Occupancy Forecasts for Optimal Building Climate Control (OptiControl):

http://www.sysecol.ethz.ch/OptiControl/

OptiControl is a collaborative effort by the ETH Zurich, EMPA Dübendorf, MeteoSwiss and Siemens Building Technologies. The project is sponsored by “swisselectric research”, the ETH Domain’s “Competence Center Energy and Mobility” and Siemens Building Technologies.

I hope that the website will be of interest to you. Its contents will be updated regularly to reflect the project’s results and the newest literature in the field of predictive building climate control.

Java GNU Scientific Library 0.1.0 released

I have released version 0.1.0 of the Java GNU Scientific Library (JGSL) project, its first public release. You can download it from here.

This first release provides Java wrapper classes for the Special Functions module of the GNU Scientific Library (log, exp, airy, bessel, etc). I’ve run some preliminary tests on the log function, that suggest the JGSL version are about 10% faster than Java’s built-in function.
