abstract = {Multi-modeling and co-simulation are one of the solutions
for dealing with complex systems. In this paper, we propose
to apply the AA4MM framework to the co-simulation of a
smart space heating \complex" environment with 2 objec-
tives. Our rst contribution is the development of AA4MM-
FMI (Agent and Artifact for Multiple Models coordination
for FMI). AA4MM is a modeling and simulation framework
that can be used to implement the \master" in a multiple
FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit) co-simulation of the FMI
(Functional Mock-up Interface) standard with a fully decen-
tralized view and intrinsic coordination. Our second contri-
bution is to apply and evaluate this solution by creating a
hierarchy of smart space models that are exploiting house
geometry information. Each individual room is represented
as an independent FMU taking inputs of the room's geo-
metric information (surface area, volume, insulation, etc.),
target temperature, and neighboring rooms. The neighbor-
ing rooms are connected to each other using the AA4MM-
FMI framework. This project aims to couple an electrical
heating-based simulation with networking event-based sim-
ulations to gain intuition for how house geometry aects
ecient heating and network connectivity. Using this smart
space house heating problem, we are able to test AA4MM-
FMI (our novel \master") for FMI and multi-simulation.}
