Abstract: An air conditioning control system includes: an engine acquisition unit that acquires or generates one or more engines including at least one of a control logic for controlling an air conditioning device or a setting parameter for controlling the air conditioning device; and a device control unit that controls the air conditioning device, using the acquired or generated engine. The device control unit performs control by using at least one or more of each of: an abstract control engine that is a control algorithm and a parameter of the air conditioning device that do not depend on external input/output to/from the device control unit; a preprocessing engine for generating, from information input from outside the device control unit, information suitable the abstract control engine; and a postprocessing engine for generating, from output of the abstract control engine, information suitable for output to the outside of the device control unit.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking health care metrics over time is disclosed which involves aggregating health related data via computer in a common computer database, de-identifying persons in the data in the database to remove personally identifiable information (PII) and personal Health information (PHI), matching de-identified persons with the related data, analyzing the matched de-identified persons and related data to generate populations utilizing risk, condition, and appropriateness of care algorithms, stratifying the population into predefined groups, identifying opportunities for health improvement, disseminating the opportunities to the persons in the groups; and tracking the groups over time to ascertain success of the opportunities disseminated.
