A Multimodal Technique for an Embedded Fingerprint Recognizer in Mobile Payment Systems
2009
The development and the diffusion of distributed systems, directly connected to recent communication technologies, move people towards the era of mobile and ubiquitous systems. Distributed systems make merchant-customer relationships closer and more flexible, using reliable e-commerce technologies. These systems and environments need many distributed access points, for the creation and management of secure identities and for the secure recognition of users. Traditionally, these access points can be made possible by a software system with a main central server. This work proposes the study and implementation of a multimodal technique, based on biometric information, for identity management a…
ROBOTICA MOBILE UN'INTRODUZIONE PRATICA Edizione Italiana a cura di Antonio Chella e Rosario Sorbello
2008
Questo libro costituisce una introduzione ai fondamenti e ai metodi della progettazione e della sperimentazione di robot autonomi mobili. La trattazione presenta in modo chiaro e rigoroso i temi centrali di questo complesso campo di ricerca: l'apprendimento e l'addestramento del robot; la navigazione autonoma in ambienti non modificati, soggetti a rumore e a eventi non prevedibili; l'analisi del comportamento del robot; il riconoscimento di novità percettive; la simulazione di robot reali. Tredici dettagliati casi di studio mostrano come progettare e programmare robot reali in grado di eseguire i compiti assegnati. Il libro rappresenta un riferimento per gli studenti dei corsi universitari …
An Agent-based Service Network for Personal Mobile Devices
2006
We propose the Agent Network for Bluetooth Devices, a system that uses personal mobile devices as adaptive human-environment interfaces to supply people with ad hoc information and high-level services. The ANBD system operates with a hierarchical framework of service-providing nodes, dynamically composed and managed by mobile agents.

M-App & Health Knowledge Management – Virtual Artfacts between Doctor & Patient
2018
Knowledge is more and more a strategic resource for health or- ganizations while information and communication technology earns an important role for sharing knowledge and informations among people in and out organizations. These conditions satisfy specific demands related to the new emerging information needs, asking for a change in relation- ships and effective communication. So, the Medicine Apps represent an emerging and rapidly developing framework for health system, able to contribute to its quality and efficiency. The same Union European and U.S. Supervisory Authority activated in the last years an appropriate study in order to control the Medical Applications downloaded directly thr…
Design, technology and social innovation: the serious game of traffic O2
2019
Social science and new communication technologies are deeply influencing the transportation domain and new models of urban sustainable development are constantly emerging as new possible solutions. One of the principal reasons is the capability to reach the motivations that foster us to choose one or another urban transportation systems. It is already feasible to develop solutions to implement and root more efficient and sustainable habits in urban transportation. The present exploratory chapter presents the activities conducted by innovation lab PUSH, with the Italian Ministry of Innovation and Research, for the development and the application of the social innovation project “TrafficO2” i…
The Impact of Shadowing and the Severity of Fading on the First and Second Order Statistics of the Capacity of OSTBC MIMO Nakagami-Lognormal Channels
2011
Published version of an article in Wireless Personal Communications (2011), 1-16. Also available from the publisher at http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11277-011-0275-x This article presents a thorough statistical analysis of the capacity of orthogonal space-time block coded (OSTBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Nakagami- lognormal (NLN) channels. The NLN channel model allows to study the joint effects of fast fading and shadowing on the statistical properties of the channel capacity. We have derived exact analytical expressions for the probability density function (PDF), cumulative distribution function (CDF), level-crossing rate (LCR), and average duration of fades (ADF) of the capacity…
INVESTIGATION OF THE UNDERGROUND BUILDING HERITAGE AND THE MECHANISM OF WATER FLOWING IN QANĀTS IN PALERMO THROUGH INNOVATIVE SURVEYING TECHNIQUES
2021
Abstract. The valorisation, protection and preservation policies for the underground building heritage are often difficult to implement due to an inadequate knowledge of hypogeal constructions. The complex and widespread underground structures of the vast “Cavo” Heritage (“horizontal wells”, “shelf wells” or “well tunnels”), so called qanāts, hidden underground and built over the centuries in Palermo, representing an evocative testimony to the history of water culture in the ancient city. Through the historical and constructive analyses and the implementation and development of measurement and 3D representation and visualization, first actions have been carried out. The paper will present t…
A CASE STUDY OF THE APPLICATION OF HAND-HELD MOBILE LASER SCANNING IN THE PLANNING OF AN ITALIAN FOREST (ALPE DI CATENAIA, TUSCANY)
2021
Abstract. Precision forestry is becoming a key sector for forest planning because it allows complex analyses of forest data to be carried out simply and economically. It contributes to the integration between technicians and operators in the sector by guaranteeing the transparency of the forest management operations (Corona et al., 2017). In the context of the progressive development of technology, we investigated the feasibility of using the hand-held mobile laser scanner (HMLS) system in different types of forest sites and comparison of the characteristics of individual trees (tree height, diameters at breast height) with traditional surveys, applied with the aim to validate the performan…
EMERGENZA SANITARIA E TEMPORANEAITÀ
2018
Fornire risposte immediate a una modernità sempre più rivolta al rapido consumo ha dato origine a un’architettura maggiormente indirizzata alla produzione di manu- fatti provvisori e mobili. Il progetto si appropria così del tempo e ne controlla il suo stato, divenendo strumento indispensabile per rispondere a realtà in continuo divenire, spesso soggette a trasformazioni violente e repentine, come quelle generate da calamità naturali e dagli esodi conseguenti a guerre o a traumi politici, dando vi- ta a nuove forme e sistemi appartenenti a un’Architettura temporanea che potremo definire sanitaria. L’Emergenza sanitaria è una realtà ormai presente nel panorama politico, economico e sociale d…
