abstract = {A smart environment is a physical environment enriched with sensing, actuation, communication and computation capabilities aiming at acquiring and exploiting knowledge about the environment so as to adapt itself to its inhabitants' preferences and requirements. In this domain, there is the need of tools supporting the design and analysis of applications. In this paper, the Smart Environment Metamodel (SEM) framework is proposed. The framework allows to model applications by exploiting concepts specific to the smart environment domain. SEM approaches the modeling from two different points of view, namely the functional and data perspectives. The application of the framework is supported by a set of general guidelines to drive the analysis, the design and the implementation of smart environments. The effectiveness of the framework is shown by applying it to the modeling of a real smart office scenario that has been developed, deployed and analyzed.},

abstract = {Abstract A Smart City is a cyber-physical system improving urban behavior and capabilities by providing ICT-based functionalities. An infrastructure for Smart City has to be geographically and functionally extensible, as it requires both to grow up with the physical environment and to meet the increasing in needs and demands of city users/inhabitants. In this paper, we propose iSapiens, an IoT-based platform for the development of general cyber-physical systems suitable for the design and implementation of smart city services and applications. As distinguishing features, the iSapiens platform implements the edge computing paradigm through both the exploitation of the agent metaphor and a distributed network of computing nodes directly scattered in the urban environment. The platform promotes the dynamic deployment of new computing nodes as well as software agents for addressing geographical and functional extensibility. iSapiens provides a set of abstractions suitable to hide the heterogeneity of the physical sensing/actuator devices embedded in the system, and to support the development of complex applications. The paper also furnishes a set of methodological guidelines exploitable for the design and implementation of smart city applications by properly using iSapiens. As a significant case study, the design and implementation of a real Smart Street in the city of Cosenza (Italy) are shown, which provides decentralized urban intelligence services to citizens.},

abstract = {In an urban environment, sewer flooding and combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are a potential risk to human life, economic assets and the environment. To mitigate such phenomena, real time control systems represent a valid and cost-effective solution. This paper proposes an urban drainage network equipped by sensors and a series of electronically movable gates controlled by a decentralized real-time system based on a gossip-based algorithm which exhibits good performance and fault tolerance properties. The proposal aims to exploit effectively the storage capacity of the urban drainage network so as to reduce flooding and CSO. The approach is validated by considering the urban drainage system of the city of Cosenza (Italy) and a set of extreme rainfall events as a testbed. Experiments are conducted by using a customized version of the SWMM simulation software and show that the CSO and local flooding volumes are significantly reduced.},

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.},
