A fog-based hybrid intelligent system for energy saving in smart buildings
2019
In recent years, the widespread diffusion of pervasive sensing devices and the increasing need for reducing energy consumption have encouraged research in the energy-aware management of smart environments. Following this direction, this paper proposes a hybrid intelligent system which exploits a fog-based architecture to achieve energy efficiency in smart buildings. Our proposal combines reactive intelligence, for quick adaptation to the ever-changing environment, and deliberative intelligence, for performing complex learning and optimization. Such hybrid nature allows our system to be adaptive, by reacting in real time to relevant events occurring in the environment and, at the same time, …
Development of intelligent service robots
2013
The creation of intelligent robots has been a major goal of Artificial Intelligence since the early days and has provided many motivations to Artificial Intelligence researchers. Therefore, a large body of research has been done in this field and many relevant results have shown that integration of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics techniques is a viable approach towards this goal. This article summarizes the efforts and the achievements of several Italian research groups in the development of intelligent robotic systems characterized by a suitable integration of Artificial Intelligence and Robotic techniques. The contributions collected in this article show the long history of this rese…
L'intelletto nella Risala mahiyyat al-'aql di al-Harith al-Muhasibi
2002
The epistle on the essence of the intellect places at the center of the research a philological analysis of the term intellect and its conceptual analysis based on the main sources of Islamic knowledge: the Koran and the sunna. The author is also interested in the ethical aspect of the intellect, the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Intelligence, understanding, intellectual light ultimately lead man to the contemplation of divine realities.
Système de vision à haute gamme dynamique auto adaptable
2020
High dynamic range (HDR) image generation using temporal exposure bracketing is widely used to recover the whole dynamic range of a filmed scene by fusion of two or more low dynamic range (LDR) images. Temporal exposure bracketing technique should be employed for static scenes and it cannot be applied directly for dynamic scenes. Motions introduced by moving objects in the LDR stack images create ghosts artifacts in the reconstructed HDR image. In this thesis, we have studied and evaluated a large nuber of algorithms used to correct or avoid these artifacts and we mad a trade-off between robustness and complexity in order to propose a real-time HDR video generation system.The real-time HDR …
Experiencing the Smart City Concept: the Challenge of Intelligent District
2016
La città del futuro diventa un complesso sistema a geometria variabile, dove l'ICT è il driver principale di tutte le connessioni - collante della smart city - strumento intelligente che abilita il dialogo tra sistemi diversi. L'uomo rimane l'attore principale di tutte le trasformazioni, perchè ridisegna le sue abitudini, corregge i suoi comportamenti e condivide idee e soluzioni che si vanno affinando continuamente. Le aree dove ci sono più grandi innovazioni sono il campo della mobilità, dell'energia e dell'ICT. La dimensione del distretto intelligente sembra l'unico modulo convincente per testare sistemi, tecnologie e processi. L'interfaccia più interessante da esaminare è la relazione t…
Un disegno smart per Palermo
2014
Negli ultimi anni, il concetto di smart city tenta di creare un’idea di città sostenibile e pensante. Quali sono le condizioni per uno sviluppo urbano sostenibile intelligente? I progetti smart per Palermo, legati alla mobilità, alla riqualificazione urbana e all’efficienza energetica mirano all’applicazione di nuove tecnologie per rendere la città digitale più interattiva, efficiente e smart, caratterizzando il disegno della città pubblica di Living Lab, Open Data, crowdsourcing e progetti sulla creazione di spazi gestiti in tempo reale attraverso ICTs. L’articolo metterà in luce i nuovi modelli e i servizi smart che la città di Palermo sta proponendo per migliorare la propria realtà urban…
Different sensory aspects of a food are not remembered with equal acuity
2009
International audience; In the present study, food memory for three sensory aspects involved in food perception, taste, texture and aroma, is compared. Participants received a lunch including a custard dessert (target) under incidental learning condition. One day later, participants were presented with samples identical to the target and with distractors varying either in sweetness, thickness or cherry aroma. Memory was assessed by an absolute recognition question (“Did you eat this sample yesterday?”) and by relative questions (“Is this sample less, equal or more sweet than the sample you ate yesterday?”). Results showed better memory performance for sweetness than for the two other sensor…
Editorial: Interrogating the design of smart, sustainable, and socially just urban spaces: A look at institutions, places, and values
2022
The article is the Editorial on the Research Topic Interrogating the design of smart, sustainable, and socially just urban spaces: A look at institutions, places, and values, which explore the dynamics between the socio-technological processes – value-based design being foremost among them – through which urban space emerges and takes on meaning. Furthermore, they engage with the question of how institutional design principles shape citizen participation in these processes.
A Multiple Case Study of Artificial Intelligent System Development in Industry
2020
There is a rapidly increasing amount of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems developed in recent years, with much expectation on its capacity of innovation and business value generation. However, the promised value of AI systems in specific business contexts might not be understood, and further integrated into the development processes. We wanted to understand how software engineering processes and practices can be applied to develop AI systems in a fast-faced, business-driven manner. As the first step, we explored contextual factors of AI development and the connections between AI developments to business opportunities. We conducted 12 semi-structured interviews in seven companies in Brazi…
Authentication and authorization security solution for the internet of thing
2021
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the interconnection between the Internet and physical objects, places and environments. However, this extensive connectivity of IoT can be hampered by malicious interventions from cyber attackers. Thus, ensuring security for users and IoT devices remains a challenge, especially authentication and authorization, which are essential building blocks of the security process. This is due to the unconventional IoT characteristics, including scalability, heterogeneity, interoperability, and dynamic changes, which make the existing security measures inadequate. Indeed, these characteristics bring up several security requirements to consider when defining a se…
