Abstract: Lighting control systems may be commissioned for programming and/or control with the aid of a mobile device. Design software may be used to create a floor plan of how the lighting control system may be designed. The design software may generate floor plan identifiers for each lighting fixture, or group of lighting fixtures. During commissioning of the lighting control system, the mobile device may be used to help identify the lighting devices that have been installed in the physical space. The mobile device may receive a communication from each lighting control device that indicates a unique identifier of the lighting control device. The unique identifier may be communicated by visible light communication (VLC) or RF communication. The unique identifier may be associated with the floor plan identifier for communication of digital messages to lighting fixtures installed in the locations indicated in the floor plan identifier.

Abstract: A system and method for the aggregation and grouping of previously identified, causally related abnormal operating condition, that are observed in a monitored environment, is disclosed. Agents are deployed to the monitored environment which capture data describing structural aspects of the monitored environment, as well as data describing activities performed on it, like the execution of distributed transactions. The data describing structural aspects is aggregated into a topology model which describes individual components of the monitored environments, their communication activities and resource dependencies and which also identifies and groups components that serve the same purpose, like e.g. processes executing the same code. Activity related monitoring data is constantly monitored to identify abnormal operating conditions. Data describing abnormal operating condition is analyzed in combination with topology data to identify networks of causally related abnormal operating conditions.
