Cyber-Security in Digital Metering Value Chain for Mountain Landslide Warning

2021

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) are initiating a digitalization process that involves the use of a digital metering value chain and cloud computing. The main objective of this study is to investigate how NVE can ensure cyber-security in digital meters and the cloubased metering value chain for mountain landslide warning. The study is based on a qualitative approach including methods like document analysis and semi structured interviews used as input to a risk analysis based on the ISO 31000 standard. The risk analysis covered three different scenarios from NVE. Those three scenarios were internal, external Norwegian, and transnational value chains for metering lan…

Self-configuring multipath intra-mesh infrastructure QoS based routing

2016

International audience; Multi-path routing concept was largely exploited in wireless networks to provide benefits such as fault tolerance, load balancing, performance improvement in terms of latency, etc. In this paper, we propose a multi-path routing based protocol named MP-IMRR (Multi-path Intra-Mesh infrastructure Routing protocol) to improve our previously defined QoS based routing protocol for wireless mesh networks (i.e. IMRR). MP-IMRR is defined in order to achieve better reactivity and faster recovery from eventual route failures than the IMRR protocol by adopting the backup routes concept. Besides, given the complexity increase while considering network management systems, we adopt…

Recyclage et Résilience. La fin des oppositions

2018

Riciclo e Resilienza sono due fra le principali parole-chiave che hanno attraversato il rapporto fra architettura e città degli ultimi quarant'anni. Facendo riferimento ad alcuni esempi prodotti nel periodo, il saggio coglie il loro diverso ruolo euristico e statuto estetico ponendoli in rapporto alla trasformazione della nozione di ecologia. Evolvendo attraverso posizioni tardo darwiniste, l'integrazione delle dimensioni economica, geografica, tecnica e sociale nella nozione di ecologia operata da Banham, fino alla più recente appropriazione della nozione di capacità di ricostruirsi dopo un trauma, si chiariscono le fonti e i fondamenti concettuali che guidano questi due motori recenti del…

Quali piani per i porti italiani? Ripresa (economica) e resilienza (del monadismo) nell’ultima disciplina della pianificazione portuale

2022

Il “Decreto Infrastrutture”, convertito in legge nel novembre 2021, ha modificato la disciplina dettata dall’art. 5 della legge n. 84/1994, introducendo meccanismi di semplificazione delle procedure di pianificazione portuale il cui scopo è garantire massima celerità alle decisioni concernenti l’infrastrutturazione dei sistemi portuali nazionali. Questa riforma del quadro normativo si traduce in un profondo ripensamento degli obiettivi originari della legislazione in materia: la coerenza interna della pianificazione portuale, il raccordo armonico tra quest’ultima e la pianificazione urbanistica, la ricerca di una sinergia tra la pianificazione dei sistemi portuali e la pianificazione dei tr…

Process reference frameworks as institutional arrangements for digital service innovation

2020

Abstract Information systems (IS) service organizations are increasingly more concerned with their ability to co-create digital services with customers in service ecosystems. Practitioners and researchers, however, lack understanding of which organization mechanisms effectively contribute to IS organizations’ innovation practices. Grounded in service-dominant logic, we hypothesized that process reference frameworks (PRFs), such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), act as institutional arrangements through their norms, rules, and practices, enhancing IS organizations’ ability to innovate digital services. Data collected from 159 IS organizations confirmed our hypotheses, showing that eff…

IoT monitoring of urban tree ecosystem services: Possibilities and challenges

2020

Urban green infrastructure plays an increasingly significant role in sustainable urban development planning as it provides important regulating and cultural ecosystem services. Monitoring of such dynamic and complex systems requires technological solutions which provide easy data collection, processing, and utilization at affordable costs. To meet these challenges a pilot study was conducted using a network of wireless, low cost, and multiparameter monitoring devices, which operate using Internet of Things (IoT) technology, to provide real-time monitoring of regulatory ecosystem services in the form of meaningful indicators for both human health and environmental policies. The pilot study w…

Strada Paesaggio Città. La città in estensione tra Palermo e Agrigento

2015

La consapevolezza della modernità porta a interrogarsi sull’attuale natura morfologica e dimensionale dei nuovi luoghi, per comprenderne il senso delle relazioni spaziali e tentarne un’elaborazione estetica. A partire dal concetto di città in estensione di Giuseppe Samonà, si è voluto elaborare un quadro interpretativo e progettuale nel vasto territorio interno della Sicilia, definito dalla strada che congiunge Palermo con Agrigento, il Tirreno con il Mare Africano, contrassegnato da numerose città-paese, dalla campagna agricola, dai luoghi ibridi della città diffusa. In questo paesaggio, si è assunto il progetto di architettura per determinare e proporre nuove strategie e forme per lo svil…

Sistemi cibernetici per la ri-definizione dello spazio architettonico. Cedric Price e i laboratori del cambiamento

2020

This paper investigates the introduction of the cybernetic approach in architecture, through the key-role of N. Wiener, G. Pask and their influence on the projects of Cedric Price in the Sixties. The analysis of two of his most representative projects, such as the Fun Palace and the Generator, aims to individuate the informatics influence brought to the spatial composition. Furthermore, the article will clarify the visionary though of the British architect concerning the impact of digital infrastructures on the prefiguration of the most recent responsive and interactive approaches in architecture.

L'Alta Velocità in Cina. Politiche, strategie, territori

2014

High Speed railways in China. Policies, strategies and territories. by Marc Guigon The history of High-Speed railways in China is not a linear one, traced in the course of a rigorous planning process. It has on the contrary experienced moments of rapid surge, only to be followed by periods of slower growth. Fervid action, decision-making and euphoria have been accompanied by scathing failures, against a background of corruption and complex relations with the foreign providers of fundamental technology. The ! nal result is noteworthy however, because China currently has the largest High-Speed railroad network in the world, with a very high level of customer satisfaction, though the cost has …
