La domotica e internet. Una soluzione per l'interoperabilita'
Russo D
Domotics represent a futuristic scenario and a positive impact to the quality of the life. Numerous technologies and domotic standards scarcely interoperable represent a big obstacle. The purpose of the thesis is to develop a framework based on the web service standards and on an XML grammar able to integrate services offered by the middlewares on the market. This is possible throught an abstraction layer that can describe characteristic and functionalities. It was developed a software under the GNU licence able to interoperate with eterogeneous domotic devices.

Breve introduzione alla domotica, alla robotica e ad una loro possibile evoluzione
Russo D
Il lavoro introduce brevemente i concetti che sono alla base delle tecnologie domotiche, robotiche e delle evoluzioni che in un prossimo futuro, grazie all'applicazione dei paradigmi dell'Ambient Intelligence e dell'Internet of Things, potranno essere disponibili e fruibili da tutte le persone. L'articolo, attraverso esempi pratici, mostra gli scenari attualmente realizzabili e quelli che lo saranno a breve. In particolar modo esso pone l'accento su come queste tecniche possano essere applicate non solo per il benessere e il comfort di tutti, ma soprattutto per rendere più agevole e dignitosa la vita di malati cronici, degli anziani e dei disabili. Il Laboratorio di ricerca in Domotica del CNR, già da molti anni e ancora oggi, è sensibile a questo tipo di problematiche ed effettua attività di ricerca avanzata nei settori descritti. All'interno del laboratorio è stato sviluppato un prototipo che implementa alcune delle funzionalità ancora considerate futuristiche, al fine di concretizzare e dare un contributo significativo all'evoluzione scientifica in materia.

HIDE: User centred domotic evolution toward ambient intelligence
Russo D
Pervasive Computing and Ambient Intelligence (AmI) visions are still far from being achieved, especially with regard to Domotics and home applications. According to the vision of Ambient Intelligence (AmI), the most advanced technologies are those that disappear: at maturity, computer technology should become invisible. All the objects surrounding us must possess sufficient computing capacity to interact with users, the surroundings and each other. The entire physical environment in which users are immersed should thus be a hidden computer system equipped with the appropriate software in order to exhibit intelligent behavior. Even though many implementations have started to appear in several contexts, few applications have been made available for the home environment and the general public. This is mainly due to the segmentation of standards and proprietary solutions, which are currently confusing the market with a sparse offer of uninteroperable devices and systems. Although modern houses are equipped with smart technological appliances, still very few of these appliances can be seamlessly connected to each other. The objective of this research work is to take steps in these directions by proposing, on the one hand, a software system designed to make today's heterogeneous, mostly incompatible domotic systems fully interoperable and, on the other hand, a feasible software application able to learn the behavior and habits of home inhabitants in order to actively contribute to anticipating user needs, and preventing emergency situations for his health. By applying machine learning techniques, the system offers a complete, ready-to-use practical application that learns through interaction with the user in order to improve life quality in a technological living environment, such as a house, a smart city and so on. The proposed solution, besides making life more comfortable for users without particular needs, represents an opportunity to provide greater autonomy and safety to disabled and elderly occupants, especially the critically ill ones. The prototype has been developed and is currently running at the Pisa CNR laboratory, where a home environment has been faithfully recreated.

Hu R, Brunschwiler T, Russo D, Mora N, Montanari E, Michel B, Martella G, Ciampolini P, Spada Mr, Ceresini R, Nunziata S
Ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) are enabling the possibility to provide remote health-care services through networks of environmental and personalized sensors. We present an e-health system, which collects real-life sensor data through motion, door and pressure sensors installed at elderly households. Daily activity and health status are extracted from raw sensor signals. We present different ways to detect abnormal behaviors, based on which personalized health-care services can be provided. Such systems minimize user input and interaction, thus could offer a long-term practical service.Project(s): ACTIVAGE

This is a testimony of the more than 45 partners that have participated in this WP. We started with 9 DS in 7 countries and we finish with 12 DS in 9 countries, having incorporated three new DS through the open call, and expanding ACTIVAGE vision and ecosystem to Portugal and Bulgaria. We have been able to reach the target of deploying AHA-IoT solutions for more than 7.200 users, we hit the mark of 7.776 and almost 97% of the expected deployments. All DS have been able to perform the evaluation, at local and global level, generating the evidence that ACTIVAGE vision is pertinent, relevant, and effective. Details are provided in the individual results and in D6.5. By the end of the project, still 80% of participants continue operation, and almost all DS have in place sustainability plans to continue providing ACTIVAGE services in one way or another. Even in the cases where no clear plans have been possible, there are opportunities for exploiting the services and the knowledge gained in the project.Project(s): ACTIVAGE

An unsupervised behavioral modeling and alerting system based on passive sensing for elderly care
Hu R, Michel B, Russo D, Mora N, Matrella G, Ciampolini P, Cocchi F, Montanari E, Nunziata S, Brunchwiler T
Artificial Intelligence in combination with the Internet of Medical Things enables remote healthcare services through networks of environmental and/or personal sensors. We present a remote healthcare service system which collects real-life data through an environmental sensor package, including binary motion, contact, pressure, and proximity sensors, installed at households of elderly people. Its aim is to keep the caregivers informed of subjects' health-status progressive trajectory, and alert them of health-related anomalies to enable objective on-demand healthcare service delivery at scale. The system was deployed in 19 households inhabited by an elderly person with poststroke condition in the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, with maximal and median observation durations of 98 and 55 weeks. Among these households, 17 were multi-occupancy residences, while the other 2 housed elderly patients living alone. Subjects' daily behavioral diaries were extracted and registered from raw sensor signals, using rule-based data pre-processing and unsupervised algorithms. Personal behavioral habits were identified and compared to typical patterns reported in behavioral science, as a quality-of-life indicator. We consider the activity patterns extracted across all users as a dictionary, and represent each patient's behavior as a 'Bag of Words', based on which patients can be categorized into sub-groups for precision cohort treatment. Longitudinal trends of the behavioral progressive trajectory and sudden abnormalities of a patient were detected and reported to care providers. Due to the sparse sensor setting and the multi-occupancy living condition, the sleep profile was used as the main indicator in our system. Experimental results demonstrate the ability to report on subjects' daily activity pattern in terms of sleep, outing, visiting, and healthstatus trajectories, as well as predicting/detecting 75% hospitalization sessions up to 11 days in advance. 65% of the alerts were confirmed to be semantically meaningful by the users. Furthermore, reduced social interaction (outing and visiting), and lower sleep quality could be observed during the COVID-19 lockdown period across the cohort.Source: FUTURE INTERNET, vol. 13

Domotic technologies incompatibility becomes user transparent
Miori V, Russo D, Aliberti M
Home networks and protocols for automation and Domotics currently provide a dispersive range of closed systems, which are rarely interoperable with each other. Our research aims to achieve interoperability through Open Standards Technologies, by exploiting Xml technology as a common language, and introducing a distributed SOA middleware as an abstraction layer. This approach lends itself to innovative scenarios such as universal interfaces and dynamic cooperation between devices, not requiring user intervention Moreover, inter-working capabilities are required beyond house boundaries, towards external services and towards other houses as nodes of a global network. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to find solutions to the problem of interoperability that will be in line with open and widely recognized standards.Source: COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM, vol. 53 (issue 1), pp. 153-157

An informatics research contribution to the domotic take-off
Miori V, Russo D, Aliberti M
While many household appliances and hi-tech devices populate our lives, each one is independent of the others. Informatics research on domotics has the target of achieving interoperability between all the devices available in a home, automating some particular sequences of tasks and integrating the home with the outside world and especially with the Internet. The lack of an open and universal domotic standard is the principal reason for the poor use of domotics in real environments, so a new software architecture based on the SOA (service-oriented architecture) model and a domotic XML language has been created in order to realize a homogenous and independent vision of the home environment.Source: ERCIM NEWS, vol. 72, pp. 54-55

QUIMBY: an innovative open-source solution for e-democracy
Miori V, Russo D
Project eDem1.0, coordinated by the municipality of Rome and financed by the Italian Ministry for Innovation during the period March 2006 to February 2008, has aimed to apply cutting edge Internet-based technologies (social networking, user-generated content, etc.) to enhance the processes of participation and consultation, both between citizens and government administration offices, as well as among such offices themselves. Sociological studies, expressly conducted by the universities of Pisa and Rome, have provided the basis for the innovative means developed in the project for involving citizens in online participation in government. The software platform for implementation of such goals was developed for the most part at the ISTI Institute of the CNR in Pisa. Such development has been guided by the specific needs and wishes of the coordinating institution, to which a customized version has been provided. In detail, the platform aims to supplement traditional means of citizens' participation in government (meetings, round tables, etc.) through Internet-based channels of communication and interaction. The result of the work is the open source software application 'Quimby' released under the GPL license. The main features implemented in Quimby are: reporting problem issues and possible solutions; pinpointing problems on road or satellite maps; transmitting additional documentation on problems or proposals for solutions; rating specific proposals; displaying graphic illustrations of the administrative procedures and status of proposals. Initial testing of the software was begun within the framework of the Rome Bilancio Partecipativo del Municipio XI (Participation Budgeting of District 11). The current version is freely available under the GLP license for download at http://www.domoticslab.it/quimby. Other, customized versions have been provided to and used by the region of Lazio and the township of Pescara. The software is moreover highly adaptable for use in many other contexts as well. For example, it can be easily reused in different programmes calling for other models or levels of involvement (information, communications, consultation, collaborative planning, decision-making and so forth).

QUIMBY: un instrumento innovador para la participación ciudadana
Miori V, Russo D
El ISTI (Istituto di Scienze e Tecnologie dell'Informazione del CNR) ha desarrollado la parte preponderante de la plataforma software del proyecto Edem 1.0, financiado por el Ministero Italiano per l'Innovazione y coordinado por la Municipalidad de Roma (marzo de 2006 - febrero de 2008). La modalidad de envolvimiento online del ciudadano y las soluciones software implementadas son fuertemente innovadoras y se fundan sobre estudios sociológicos adecuados predispuestos por la Universidad de Pisa y de Roma. El sistema emplea las potencialidades de las tecnologías de Internet más avanzadas (social networking, user generated content, ecc.) para aplicarlas a los procesos de partecipación y de consultación entre la administración pública y los ciudadanos y también entre las administraciones mismas. La primera versión de eDem 1.0 que se ha experimentado en el proceso de Balance de participación de la municipalidad XI del Comune de Roma, se puede visitar a la dirección siguiente: http://www.municipiopartecipato.it. En este caso los canales de comunicación e interacción vía Internet se añaden y se integran con los tradicionales (asembleas, reuniones, mesas, ecc. ). Algunos ejemplos de funcionalidad: . indicación de problemas y propuestas de solución . localización sobre mapas de carreteras . invío de documentación relativa a los problemas e/o propuestas . indicación posible del agradecimiento de una propuesta . visualización gráfica del iter administrativo de las propuestas Se han hecho otras personalizaciones para la Regione Lazio y el Comune de Pescara. El software (denominado QUIMBY) es completamente open source (licencia gpl); se favorece así el proceso de reutilización en otras administraciones. También se puede utilizar en muchos otros casos. Se pueden imaginar personalizaciones aun para procesos de participación que prevean diferentes modelos o niveles de envolvimiento (información, comunicación, consultación, proyectación compartida, deliberaciones).
