abstract = {Recent advancements in the fields of embedded systems,communication technologies and computer science, have laid the foundations for new kinds of applications in which a plethora of physical devices are interconnected and immersed in an environment together with human beings. These so-called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) issue a design challenge for new architecture in order to cope with problems such as the heterogeneity of devices, the intrinsically distributed nature of these systems, the lack of reliability in communications, etc. In this paper we introduce Rainbow, an architecture designed to address CPS issues. Rainbow hides heterogeneity by providing a Virtual Object (VO) concept, and addresses the distributed nature of CPS introducing a distributed multi-agent system on top of the physical part. Rainbow aims to get the computation close to the sources of information (i.e., the physical devices) and addresses the dynamic adaptivity requirements of CPS by using Swarm Intelligence algorithms.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on a distributed real time control approach applied to drainage networks. The increasing of urbanization and climate change heightens the challenge for new technologies to be developed for drainage networks. Higher runoff volume, produced by the increase in impervious surfaces and intense rain events, overwhelms the existing urban drainage systems. Recent technical improvements have enabled the exploitation of real-time control on drainage networks. The novelty in this paper regards the use of a totally decentralized approach based on a proper combination of a Gossip-based algorithm, which ensures a global correct behaviour even if local faults occur, and a classic controlling technique (PID) used for local actuations.},
