Ciò che non si vede? Aria di casa mia. Aria di libertà
2019
Grande rilievo assume nel fare progettuale la capacità di una visione d’insieme aperta a influenze e contaminazioni provenienti da una sapiente ibridazione fra il nuovo e l’esistente. Questa capacità di stabilire relazioni fra elementi eterogenei è utile per far coesistere in uno stesso organismo realtà architettoniche apparentemente inconciliabili. Ciò che non si vede? (Aria di casa mia. Aria di libertà) è l’interrogativo di fondo di questo saggio che cerca di sottolineare alcune relazioni proficue che nel tempo sono state in grado di accrescere lo stato fisico dei luoghi. L’interpretazione di questi contesti, suscitato da un intreccio inarrestabile di mìmesis, individua in un percorso non…
StateOS : A Memory-Efficient Hybrid Operating System for IoT Devices
2023
The increasing significance of operating systems (OSs) in the development of the internet of things (IoT) has emerged in the last decade. An event-driven OS is memory efficient and suitable for resource-constrained IoT devices and wireless sensors, although the program’s control flow, which is determined by events, is not always obvious. A multithreaded OS with sequential control flow is often considered clearer. However, this approach is memory-consuming. A hybrid OS seeks to combine the strengths of the event-driven approach with multithreaded approach. An event-driven cooperative threaded OS represents a hybrid approach that supports concurrency by explicitly yielding control to another …
Relevance and Role of Contemporary Architecture Preservation—Assessing and Evaluating Architectural Heritage as a Contemporary Landscape: A Study Cas…
2023
Since WWII to the 2000s, numerous masters of contemporary architecture have contributed to the construction of new landscapes with their works; therefore, these places have become part of a changing landscape and of the multifaceted process of landscape generation. Nevertheless, during this fifty-year period, capitalism has led to the destruction of many existing landscapes, and the policies of protection and preservation have often entailed a process of musealization. In 2000, the European Landscape Convention adopted a new common-grounded definition of landscape, integrating a wide set of cultural approaches and disciplinary topics. Starting from the assumption that contemporary architect…
Universal Patterns in Color-Emotion Associations Are Further Shaped by Linguistic and Geographic Proximity
2020
Many of us “see red,” “feel blue,” or “turn green with envy.” Are such color-emotion associations fundamental to our shared cognitive architecture, or are they cultural creations learned through our languages and traditions? To answer these questions, we tested emotional associations of colors in 4,598 participants from 30 nations speaking 22 native languages. Participants associated 20 emotion concepts with 12 color terms. Pattern-similarity analyses revealed universal color-emotion associations (average similarity coefficient r = .88). However, local differences were also apparent. A machine-learning algorithm revealed that nation predicted color-emotion associations above and beyond tho…
Elementi e frammenti sul senso dell’abitare
2020
Il sentimento sul senso dell’abitare si rilette nella cultura del progetto.Trova spazio fra elementi e frammenti di nuovo orientamento culturale: un precario equilibrio in un parziale e rinverdito interesse sull’identità e sui caratteri regionali dell’architettura anonima. È proprio l’insieme delle ‘cose’ che permette all’architettura di stabilire la sua forma e il suo linguaggio. In fondo, altro non si tratta che di un dispositivo narrativo che si rilette sull’idea compositiva di progetto. Ovviamente questo è possibile quando il processo progettuale è il risultato, ad una scala appropriata, di attente valutazioni e scelte necessarie. Le qualità dell’architettura, il metodo costruttivo e la…
Custodie lignee e architettura nella Sicilia di età moderna
2012
L’intaglio ligneo nella Sicilia di età moderna ha prodotto opere d’arte di alta qualità direttamente o indirettamente connesse all’architettura, costituendo di frequente anche un primo ambito di formazione di artefici che hanno poi raggiunto lo status di architetto. Il contributo attraverso lo studio di una specifica tipologia, quella dei tabernacoli letti come vere e proprie microarchitetture, e l’osservazione di una casistica di esempi particolarmente significativi realizzati tra XVII e XVIII secolo, si propone di indagare e mettere in luce relazioni e interscambi tra intaglio ligneo e il mondo dell’architettura, nonché le circostanze, le vie e gli strumenti che li hanno prodotti. In earl…

Col : A Data Collection Protocol for Vanet
2012
International audience; In this paper, we present a protocol to collect data within a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). In spite of the intrinsic dynamic of such network, our protocol simultaneously offers three relevant properties: (1) It allows any vehicle to collect data beyond its direct neighborhood (i.e., vehicles within direct communication range) using vehicle-to-vehicle communications only (i.e., the infrastructure is not required); (2) It tolerates possible network partitions; (3) It works on demand and stops when the data collection is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first collect protocol having these three characteristics. All that is chiefly obtained thanks…
UAV-Assisted Data Collection in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Comprehensive Survey
2021
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are usually deployed to different areas of interest to sense phenomena, process sensed data, and take actions accordingly. The networks are integrated with many advanced technologies to be able to fulfill their tasks that is becoming more and more complicated. These networks tend to connect to multimedia networks and to process huge data over long distances. Due to the limited resources of static sensor nodes, WSNs need to cooperate with mobile robots such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their developments. The mobile devices show their maneuverability, computational and energy-storage abilities to support WSNs in mul…
Data-driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization : Challenges and a Generic Multi-agent Architecture
2020
In many decision making problems, a decision maker needs computer support in finding a good compromise between multiple conflicting objectives that need to be optimized simultaneously. Interactive multiobjective optimization methods have a lot of potential for solving such problems. However, the growth of complexity in problem formulations and the abundance of data bring new challenges to be addressed by decision makers and method developers. On the other hand, advances in the field of artificial intelligence provide opportunities in this respect. We identify challenges and propose directions of addressing them in interactive multiobjective optimization methods with the help of multiple int…
