As knowledge discovery in databases, data mining means a process of extraction potentially useful information from data in databases, which can be applied to information management, query processing, decision making, process control etc. Those are urgently needed to improve efficient management in water supply industry, since water has been recognized by governments worldwide as a scarce resource. In response to such demand, this paper proposes a software application, which designed to accessing to database, operating the data mining, and output the results and charts. We analyzed the different prediction models and designed the water consumption system, which has two functions of analysis of possible correlations between the water consumption and nature of the industry and prediction on future water consumption. As the system built, the paper provides samples and produces the results and analysis.

Objectives: Develop an electronic prototype that respects the environment, through the use of microcontroller cards such as Arduino, Nodemcu, IoT concept and cloud for the control and measurement of water consumption. Objectives specific: Process the data provided by sensors and meters distributed in the main water supplies of the university, as well as the public and private sectors and combine them with information, such as consumption patterns, to build a sophisticated image of how the water network is behaving . through the concept of IoT, data mining, big data and cloud. Measure and evaluate the impacts of the results obtained by the smart meter and that provide the applications for the correct decision making. Objectives Methodologycs: Strengthen the research line of the work team, which sets the standard for us as part of an academic body, of proposing projects based on Internet of Things, Big-Data and data mining technologies, using as a platform the potential of the microcontroller boards (Photon, Arduino, etc.), to enter the new industrial model 4.0 - environment. Create an academic body that carries out research activities through the use of different research methods for the solution to different problems within the institution. Contribution The water resource is essential for life, however, society rarely thinks about the different ways of use that is generally given, or the many activities of daily life in which it is present, and how our life It would change if its availability were near the end of its life cycle. The present project arises from the need to have a better control in the water consumption registers mainly in the Technological University of the North of Guanajuato which is the place where this research originates and from these registers allow an analysis of the data of consumption with greater accuracy and the best decision making.

Climate change and technological development are pushing buildings to become more sophisticated. The installation of modern building automation systems, smart meters, and IoT devices is increasing the amount of available building operational data. The common term for this kind of building is a smart building but producing large amounts of raw data does not automatically offer intelligence that would offer new insights to the building’s operation. Smart meters are mainly used only for tracking the energy or water consumption in the building. On the other hand, building occupancy is usually not monitored in the building at all, even though it is one of the main influencing factors of consumption and indoor climate parameters. This paper is bringing the true smart building closer to practice by using machine learning methods with sub-metered electricity and water consumptions to predict the building occupancy. In the first approach, the number of occupants was predicted in an office floor using a supervised data mining method Random Forest. The model performed the best with the use of all predictors available, while from individual predictors, the sub-metered electricity used for office equipment showed the best performance. Since the supervised approach requires the continuous long-term collection of ground truth reference data (between one to three months, by this study), an unsupervised data mining method k-means clustering was tested in the second approach. With the unsupervised method, this study was able to predict the level of occupancy in a day as zero, medium, or high in a case study office floor using the equipment electricity consumption.

The purpose of the study was to identify significant changes in heart rate variability (an emerging descriptor of emotional conditions; HRV) concomitant to complex auditory stimuli with emotional value (music). In healthy controls, traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients, and subjects in the vegetative state (VS) the heart beat was continuously recorded while the subjects were passively listening to each of four music samples of different authorship. The heart rate (parametric and nonparametric) frequency spectra were computed and the spectra descriptors were processed by data-mining procedures. Data-mining sorted the nu_lf (normalized parameter unit of the spectrum low frequency range) as the significant descriptor by which the healthy controls, TBI patients, and VS subjects’ HRV responses to music could be clustered in classes matching those defined by the controls and TBI patients’ subjective reports. These findings promote the potential for HRV to reflect complex emotional stimuli and suggest that residual emotional reactions continue to occur in VS. HRV descriptors and data-mining appear applicable in brain function research in the absence of consciousness.
