Designing an Energy Management System for smart houses
2015
Most advantages that the smart grid will bring derive from its capability of improving reliability performance and customers' responsiveness and encouraging greater efficiency decisions by the customers. In this optic, the paper presents an innovative Energy Management System for smart houses, allowing the optimization of the electricity cost and electrical energy consumption and, at the same time, preserving the end-user comfort.
Wearable PPG Sensor Matrix for Cardiovascular Assessment
2014
Wearable biomonitoring systems and smart textiles for healthcare are gaining more importance and significance in the R&D sphere due to their potentials in healthcare and sports. Such biomonitoring systems offer a number of advantages in comparison to the conventional equipment proving mobility of the wearer during a long-term monitoring of vital parameters. There are different options to set up the physiological monitoring using wireless and wearable technologies. One of the scenarios is addressing textiles as a carrier of electronics. Moreover, those differ by their functional applications, registered physiological parameters and technology solutions. Still, the most demanded biomonitoring…
Un approccio place-based per lo sviluppo di sistemi regionali di ricerca in Italia
2017
This work has three objectives. The first is the creation of an extensive mapping of technological districts, innovation poles, excellence research centres, laboratories and science parks in the Italian regions. The second is about monitoring, employing data from Open Cohesion, the state of the art of regional and national programs that aim at building local research networks and innovation networks. The third objective is to compare the sectoral priorities chosen by Regions according to their Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) with the existing sectors in their research networks. Finally, the study explores to what extent the presence of the industrial districts in the regions has facilita…
Innovazione tecnologica e innovazione sociale – la smart city come occasione per l’empowerment urbano
2014
Di futuro si parla spesso nella visione tecnologica della città: la smartness urbana sembra essere diventata l’occasione per costruire visioni di futuro nella città del presente, basate sulle ICT. I vantaggi della presenza costante delle ICT nella pianificazione e nel governo della città e del territorio sono evidenti, se adottiamo un nuovo punto di vista – nel presente – per i portatori di interesse, con lo scopo di trarre vantaggi significativi dalla distribuzione delle ICT nei processi di programmazione, pianificazione, progettazione e gestione urbana/metropolitana e dei territori urbani e rurali: mappe, dati e modelli di valutazione sono resi accessibili e comprensibili non solo per ute…

Splitting the data cache: a survey
2000
Recent cache-memory research has focused on approaches that split the first-level data cache into two independent subcaches. The authors introduce a methodology for helping cache designers devise splitting schemes and survey a representative set of the published cache schemes.
Measuring expectation for an affordance gap on a smartphone user interface and its usage among older adults
2020
The smartphone has become a ubiquitous mobile communication tool that plays a crucial role in the daily lives for Malaysian older adults. However, it is not easy for older adults to learn new interaction modes and adopt the smartphone user interface. In this paper, we aim to examine the affordances of a smartphone user interface and its usage by older adults through the lens of Norman’s execution/evaluation action cycle (EEAC) framework. A mobile-user interaction study was administered with four tasks. A paired sample t-test was conducted to analyze the affordance gap between different levels of expectation. The results revealed that three tasks (making phone calls, adding contacts, and usi…
Siamo l'esercito del Selfie e non abbiamo più contatti
2017
Le tecnologie mobili influenzano profondamente il modo di pensare e di organizzare il sapere: tendenze, potenzialità e criticità. Le persone sviluppano un’adeguata concezione dei processi cognitivi implicati dagli strumenti multimediali e sono in grado di controllare tali processi in maniera funzionale. L'utilizzo di social media online, come Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, ecc., Sta diventando un fenomeno psicologico e sociale. Oltre il 55 per cento dei "Millennials" hanno preso un selfie e lo hanno condiviso sui social media e oltre 93 milioni di selfies vengono utilizzati ogni giorno con il rischio di condurre all'ossessione. Il Selfie è un'attività non così nuova ma popolare nella cultura …
Assisted labeling for spam account detection on twitter
2019
Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become increasingly popular both because of their ease of use and their availability through almost any smart device. Unfortunately, these characteristics make OSNs also target of users interested in performing malicious activities, such as spreading malware and performing phishing attacks. In this paper we address the problem of spam detection on Twitter providing a novel method to support the creation of large-scale annotated datasets. More specifically, URL inspection and tweet clustering are performed in order to detect some common behaviors of spammers and legitimate users. Finally, the manual annotation effort is further reduced by grouping similar u…
Miasta przyszłości: między oczekiwaniami a rzeczywistością
2017
Koncepcja nowoczesnego i zrównoważonego rozwoju miast – smart city, oferując rozwiązania z wykorzystaniem najnowocześniejszych technik ICT, pozwala kreować niemal utopijne w swych założeniach miasta. W praktyce jednak, choć zaawansowane technologicznie, zdają się mijać z oczekiwaniami najważniejszych aktorów miast – ich mieszkańcami, a w skrajnych przypadkach nawet ich brakiem. Niniejszy artykuł ma być próbą wskazania aspektów, w których teoria budowy nowoczesnych miast w zderzeniu z praktyką zawodzi.
