Espressioni territoriali in evoluzione: cause, effetti, ipotesi di sviluppo
2013
I fenomeni della globalizzazione, dell’economia mondiale, dell’economia dell’informazione e della conoscenza stanno producendo trasformazioni nell’assetto spaziale dei sistemi urbani. Essendo i luoghi espressione delle dinamiche economiche e sociali, le città, tornate ad essere al centro dell’attenzione in quanto rappresentano gli spazi in cui le dinamiche globali si esprimono e si territorializzano, sono in costante riorganizzazione e necessitano di un’adeguata pianificazione del loro sviluppo al fine di creare nuove configurazioni spazio-funzionali, nuove espressioni territoriali strutturate per far convergere i flussi globali e generarne nuovi.
Real-Life Experiments based on IQRF IoT Testbed: From Sensors to Cloud
2018
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2018 Internet of things (IoT) is the next generation internet technology which connects devices and objects intelligently to control data collected by diverse types of sensors, radio frequency identification and other physical objects. To address the challenges in IoT such as integrating artificial intelligent techniques with IoT concept, developing green IoT technologies and combining IoT and cloud computing, various platforms which support reliable and low power wireless connectivity are required. IQRF is a recently developed platform for wireless connectivity. It provides low power, low speed, reliable…
Multi-purpose embedded communication gateway : system design and testbed implementation
2014
Masteroppgave i Informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi IKT590 Universitetet i Agder 2014 This dissertation revolves around developing a multi-purpose embedded communication gateway. The gateway is equipped with multiple communication interfaces including Ethernet, Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, LTE, and it can be configured and utilized for many purposes, such as a failover of an Ethernet cable via 4G in order to maintain the network connectivity. Raspberry Pi circuit board and the operating system Raspbian are selected as the hardware and the software platforms respectively. Different communication interfaces are coordinated by the Raspberry Pi and are configured via Linux scripts according to…
The spreading of the invasive italian wall lizard on Vulcano, the last island inhabited by the critically endangered aeolian wall lizard
2018
[EN] The Aeolian Wall Lizard (Podarcis raffoneae) is an endemic species of the Aeolian Archipelago of Italy (Mediterranean Sea). Its distribution is limited to three islets and two relict populations on a relatively large island: Vulcano (a population on the summit of Gran Cratere volcano and another on Capo Grosso promontory). The critically endangered Aeolian Wall Lizard is threatened by the introduction of the Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus), which successfully competes and hybridizes with the endemic lizard. The invasive lizard is widespread on Vulcano, although the literature does not provide the exact distribution. Our first aim was updating the distribution of the Italian Wall…
Internet of Things : a gateway centric solution for providing IoT connectivity
2016
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionising the traditional Internet by extending it with smart everyday objects. Wearables, smart grids and home automation systems are just a few examples of the IoT. A noteworthy point is that the amount of devices connected to the Internet will rapidly grow with the IoT. The IoT typically involves devices that are constrained in terms of energy, memory and processing resources. Therefore, they also limit applying the existing Internet protocols to the IoT. New protocols have been designed for the IoT, all the way from the physical layer, to the application layer. This thesis presents an implementation for an IoT gateway, which enables connectivity to …
Demo - A Cell-level Traffic Generator for LoRa Networks
2017
In this demo we present and validate a LoRa cell traffic generator, able to emulate the behavior of thousands of low-rate sensor nodes deployed in the same cell, by using a single Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. Differently from traditional generators, whose goal is creating packet flows which emulate specific applications and protocols, our focus is generating a combined radio signal, as seen by a gateway, given by the super-position of the signals transmitted by multiple sensors simultaneously active on the same channel. We argue that such a generator can be of interest for testing different network planning solutions for LoRa networks.

The MoSGrid Science Gateway – A Complete Solution for Molecular Simulations
2014
The MoSGrid portal offers an approach to carry out high-quality molecular simulations on distributed compute infrastructures to scientists with all kinds of background and experience levels. A user-friendly Web interface guarantees the ease-of-use of modern chemical simulation applications well established in the field. The usage of well-defined workflows annotated with metadata largely improves the reproducibility of simulations in the sense of good lab practice. The MoSGrid science gateway supports applications in the domains quantum chemistry (QC), molecular dynamics (MD), and docking. This paper presents the open-source MoSGrid architecture as well as lessons learned from its design.
Il ruolo delle città e dei territori-snodo nel policentrismo reticolare
2014
Riconoscendo nel policentrismo il modello insediativo che contraddistingue l’Unione Europea e nell’armatura delle città di secondo livello potenzialità alternative di sviluppo, la cui forza propulsiva è intrinseca nel loro specifico milieu e nelle differenze che alimentano le opportunità di connessione, si ritiene che le città debbano diventare generatori di flussi, produttori di identità, economie e nuove geografie, creare dinamismo urbano e interazioni spaziali capaci di attrarre reti locali e globali. È necessario, pertanto, definire meglio il ruolo delle città, le modalità di interazione e di sviluppo nel più ampio contesto territoriale.
Measurement and Modeling of the Origins of Starvation in Congestion Controlled Mesh Networks
2008
Significant progress has been made in understanding the behavior of TCP and congestion-controlled traffic over multi- hop wireless networks. Despite these advances, however, no prior work identified severe throughput imbalances in the basic scenario of mesh networks, in which one-hop flows contend with two-hop flows for gateway access. In this paper, we demonstrate via real network measurements, test-bed experiments, and an analytical model that starvation exists in such a scenario, i.e., the one-hop flow receives most of the bandwidth while the two- hop flow starves. Our analytical model yields a solution consisting of a simple contention window policy that can be implemented via mechanism…
