Sažetak
A human settlement may exist in an environment which does not allow the use of central resource distribution systems such as national electrical grid, municipal water supply, etc., or where the use of such systems is not preferable by its inhabitants. In such scenarios, there is a need for managing resources that are being produced, stored, and consumed, within the boundaries of such settlements, with a goal to maintain the self- sustainability of such settlement. Settlements are hereafter considered self-sustainable if sufficient resource quantities are available in the observed time period, with regard to defined comfort levels and observed resource type. Considering existing work in the fields of smart cities, self-sustainable settlements, smart grids, Internet of things and existing intelligent agent infrastructures tackling renewable resource management, new agent classes, behaviours and protocols are proposed. A central part of the dissertation work includes developing specialized agent classes and behaviours that would allow to model and simulate the dynamics of a local resource production, storage and consumption in order to pursue and evaluate self- sustainability of the settlement. Such framework could be used by a modeler either to design and simulate a new self-sustainable system, or to evaluate and analyze an existing system, which could lead to considerable improvements in the design of a settlement and its resource production, consumption and storage elements, in regard to the context of self-sustainability.
