The Rise of Smart Buildings

Roland Piquepaille writes "In a very well-documented article, Computerworld describes the current status of building automation systems (BAS) that control heat, air conditioning or lighting and how these systems are merging with traditional IT infrastructures. Computerworld writes that they're not enough standards in this industry and asks a fundamental question: who will administer these building networks, IT or facilities managers? Take for example Yale University which wants to connect 210 campus buildings, but also wishes "to integrate the BAS with the university's accounting system for billing and chargeback." Imagine the security risks involved with such an approach. This shorter summary contains selected excerpts of this must-read article."

I agree, fuck Roland and fuck Slashdot. This lamer bastard has had far to many submissions published, its a fucking scandal.

Who fucking gives a shit, you jackholes

At some point I'm going to start submitting all of my slashdot story submissions under the name of "Roland Piquepaille" instead of my own, just to piss you worthless mewling fanboys off.

I am sick of hearing about the idiot. Stop smearing the comment section with your obsession with him.
