WOBURN, Mass., June 30, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARC Informatique, the publisher of PcVue Solutions for Building Management Systems (BMS), and its worldwide affiliates in the ARC Group, are involved in a collaborative project known as Facility Using smart Secured Energy & Information Technology (Fuse-IT). Fuse-IT is addressing the need of sustainable, reliable, user-friendly, efficient and secure BMS in the context of critical intelligent facilities. The primary focus of this project is to provide a Smart Building and Security Management System that addresses the often incompatible objectives of the Facilities Manager and the Security Manager for critical sites. Such a system will improve the energy-efficiency of the building while strengthening its security.

WHAT: The FUSE-IT project will be presented as part of the Trusted monitoring and intelligent consumption data management for smart buildings panel at the IEEE Power and Energy General meeting. http://www.pes-gm.org/2017

The IEEE PES GM attracts professionals from every segment of the electric power industry. It features a comprehensive technical program with paper presentations, poster and panel sessions, a number of technical tours, a student program and companion activities. This years theme is energizing a more secure, resilient, and adaptable grid.

Ed Nugent, COO of PcVue Inc., will participate on the panel. He will present the research and development performed by ARC Group in support of the FUSE-IT project. The complete abstract is shown below.

Intelligent buildings have to tackle the challenges of smarter energy management, enhanced automation and connectivity. Facing environmental policies and cost-reduction objectives, building managers are asking for adequate solutions to predict, monitor, control, command, and optimize energy consumption, in the context of all the energy transactions and service provision opportunities. The trend toward smart building is enabled by the growing integration of Information Technology and Operational Technology. An unwanted consequence of this is the growing exposure to cyber-attacks. Legacy automation systems have been traditionally thought secured by isolation and physical protection. Now, they are exposed to fast-expanding cyber-threats, targeting their availability, integrity and confidentiality. A joint initiative, gathering engineers and researchers from energy, automation, information and communication technology, and security backgrounds, is working to deliver the innovative intelligent building system architecture and a set of advanced technological capabilities to solve the dilemma of efficiency and security in intelligent buildings.

MEDIA ALERT: PcVue, Inc. presents Trusted & Unified Monitoring ... - GlobeNewswire (press release)

Twitter is considering giving users the ability to flag tweets as fake news, according to a report on Thursday.

Sources told the Washington Post that Twitter is prototyping a feature that lets users flag tweets with "misleading, false or harmful information" and "it could look like a tiny tab appearing in a drop-down menu alongside tweets."

Social media platforms have faced pressure to better control or flag misleading or incorrect stories that can spread quickly over online platforms without methods to verify their integrity. Twitter has also faced an influx of "bots," which are automated users that can rapidly share false information.

Other social media groups like Facebook have found it difficult to find a balance between protecting free speech and removing hateful and harmful content.

Twitter is "moving slowly" on the function, the report says, because "there are concerns that people could use the new button to game the system, the way other aspects of Twitter have been manipulated."

The company didn't deny that it is working on a fake news button, according to the report. "There are no current plans to launch any type of product along these lines," Twitter spokeswoman Emily Horne told the Post.

Donald Trumps revolting tweets about Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski Thursday make me think we might be witnessing a new version of a very old story about someone using the power of the gods to destroy his enemies, only to be figuratively destroyed by that same power because of his sins.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, I wrote often about Donald Trumps media mastery and the way he used it to shred his opponents. I marveled at the way he thrived in this transitional media era, which baffled so many other politicians and media operatives.

Just as American society is moving from a TV culture to a social media one, so was Trump able to skillfully use both media to his political ends. He could shift in a commercial minute from owning a cable TV interview with his improvisational talk skills, to blasting away on Twitter in the snarky tone of the dominant discourse there. How could a 70-year-old find such a pitch-perfect social media voice?

I believe those media skills not only played a huge role getting him elected, but also in revolutionizing political media at least for the short term.

I wondered, though, once he was in office, if those media skills could be used for governing.

After seeing Thursdays revolting tweets and the widespread outrage in response to them, I am certain Trump has lost control of the fire, and it is only a matter of time before his presidency is consumed by it.

Tweets like the ones he wrote about MSNBCs Brzezinski, coupled with a dozen or so he has written about other women in media and politics, offer an unfiltered look at the darkness and misogyny in his heart. Who could possibly want a man who tweets such things as the nations leader? These are well beyond mean. These are tweets intended to inflict real pain. Is this the person we want representing us to the world?

I have read all the psycho-histories of Richard Nixon. I thought they were pretty dark and sick. But they are not even a warm-up for what these tweets seem to be saying about the mind of the man holding all that power in the White House today.

What might be even more astounding is that Trump is taking the time to watch and tweet such things about a cable TV show and its hosts when millions of Americans are holding their breath wondering if they are about to lose their health care thanks to events taking place in Washington.

Id call it a Greek tragedy if there was any depth of character to the man playing with the fire of social media in this story. But it is still an archetypal tale.

I have to admit I felt some some empathy for Nixon after his fall. I think I understand the toll being a self-made man took on his psyche.

But I promise you this: After tweets like the ones today from Trump, I will feel no pity, weep no tears as the fire of social media that he once harnessed turns on him and takes its toll on his presidency.
