Architectural Design in the Digital Era. Identifying computer influences and new expressive trends in current architecture
2014
La ricerca propone una riflessione sull’architettura contemporanea in funzione del ruolo sempre più preponderante che le tecnologie digitali hanno assunto all’interno del processo progettuale. L'introduzione dei computer nel panorama dell'architettura ha prodotto una rivoluzione nei metodi e nei processi progettuali che contribuiscono alla generazione della forma architettonica. Si è osservato che l'uso pervasivo dei software ha contribuito a modificare sostanzialmente il linguaggio architettonico. Obiettivo della tesi è capire in che modo l'espressività dell'architettura si è modificata e si sta modificando, quanto pervasivo sia l'uso del computer e quali possano essere gli sviluppi futuri…
Salvatore Gravanti. Un protagonista dell’architettura del XIX secolo nella “provincia” siciliana
2018
A partire dall’Ottocento si avviano significative modificazioni delle città e si delineano le direttrici dello sviluppo per le trasformazioni del secolo successivo. Nei centri di una certa rilevanza, i piani di ammodernamento corrispondono anche alla proposizione di valori ideali e romantici che si attualizzano con la realizzazione di edifici e infrastrutture pubbliche, a volte attraverso interventi di riconfigurazione spaziale e formale, altre volte con nuove costruzioni. Il linguaggio architettonico assume un importante ruolo ideologico che è spesso in continuità con il passato, quello classico o quello medievale e, anche nella produzione architettonica ritenuta minore e provinciale, si s…
XML Integration and Toolkit for B2B Applications
2003
This paper presents a Web-based data integration methodology and tool framework, called X-TIME, for the development of business-to-business (B2B) design environments and applications. X-TIME provides a data model translator toolkit based on an extensible metamodel and XML. It allows the creation of adaptable semantics oriented metamodels to facilitate the design of wrappers or reconciliators (mediators) by taking into account several characteristics of interoperable information systems such as extensibility and composability. X-TIME defines a set of meta-types for representing meta-level semantic descriptors of data models found in the Web. The meta-types are organized in a generalization h…
Statechart-based design controllers for FPGA partial reconfiguration
2015
Statechart diagram and UML technique can be a vital part of early conceptual modeling. At the present time there is no much support in hardware design methodologies for reconfiguration features of reprogrammable devices. Authors try to bridge the gap between imprecise UML model and formal HDL description. The key concept in author's proposal is to describe the behavior of the digital controller by statechart diagrams and to map some parts of the behavior into reprogrammable logic by means of group of states which forms sequential automaton. The whole process is illustrated by the example with experimental results.
The spatial evaluation of the radiative human body heat exchanges: An effective contribution for limiting energy consumption and achieving better ind…
2018
Abstract Radiative heat exchanges inside buildings remarkably affect the thermal balance of the human body in confined spaces and the related thermal comfort sensations of people. The mean radiant temperature is an important component of this balance. Unfortunately, it is usually computed by means of too simplified relationships, which significantly influence the comfort evaluations. Such simplified approaches are also accountable for a less effective design of HVAC systems which, in turn, could result in high energy consumption in the climatization of buildings. However, an accurate evaluation of the mean radiant temperature, especially when high intensity sources are present in a given in…
An Efficient Numerical Method for Time Domain Computational Electromagnetic Simulation
2018
In this paper an efficient numerical method in approximating the electric and magnetic fields is provided. The method is based on an implicit leapfrog arrangement in time and without mesh in space. Moreover, a projection scheme is introduced in order to improve the accuracy of the proposed approach and applied into the computational electromagnetic (CEM) framework. The PDEs governing the process are solved and some numerical results are reported to validate the numerical process.
Assessment of virtual instruments measurement uncertainty
2001
Abstract In this paper, two methods to evaluate the measurement uncertainty of a virtual instrument are presented: a numerical method simulating the physical process of the A/D conversion, and an approximated theoretical method applying the “uncertainty propagation law” of the “guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement”. After a brief description of the features, the constitution and the working principle of the virtual instruments, the various uncertainty sources, are analyzed. With both methods, the combined standard uncertainty of the measurement result is obtained, starting from the standard uncertainty generated by each single source and without taking into account the para…
Quantum Dual Adversary for Hidden Subgroups and Beyond
2019
An explicit quantum dual adversary for the S-isomorphism problem is constructed. As a consequence, this gives an alternative proof that the query complexity of the dihedral hidden subgroup problem is polynomial.
A Proposed Knowledge Based Approach for Solving Proteomics Issues
2010
In this paper we present a novel knowledge-based approach that aims at helping scientists to face and resolve a large number of proteomics problem. The system architecture is based on an ontology to model the knowledge base, a reasoner that starting from the user's request and a set of rules builds the workflow of tasks to be done, and an executor that runs the algorithms and software scheduled by the reasoner. The system can interact with the user showing him intermediate results and several options in order to refine the workflow and supporting him to choose among different forks. Thanks to the presence of the knowledge base and the modularity provided by the ontology, the system can be e…
From vertical to horizontal architecture
2006
Some of the main challenges related to wireless sensor networks implementation are low-quality communication, energy conservation, resource-constrained computation, distributed network management, data processing and the scalability of the protocols. This combination makes the implementation of software a demanding task and encourages to new approaches when thinking of software architecture.In this paper an architecture combining a low protocol stack with a cross-layer management entity is presented. One of the main ideas behind the architecture presented is to make application programming easier and to simplify the protocol stack in such a way that it would suit better for the limited reso…
