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.Source: ISTI Technical reports, 2015

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 M. R., 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.Source: EMBC 2019 - 41st International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference, Berlin, Germany, July 23-27, 2019

We have reached the end of a challenging and rewarding journey, after 45 months of ACTIVAGE, this is the last report that aims at providing a taste of the huge work done by the teams at the local sites. 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.Source: Project report, ACTIVAGE, Deliverable D9.6, 2020

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 13 (2020). doi:10.3390/fi13010006

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).Source: 9th European Conference on e-Government, pp. 493–500, London, UK, 29-30 June 2009

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).Source: VI Congreso Internacional de Telemática y Telecomunicaciones in 15 Convención Cientifica de Ingegneria Y Arquitectura, La Havana, CUBA, 29 November - 2 December 2010

Learning from experience to anticipate domestic needs
Vittorio Miori, Dario Russo, Alessandro Pulidori
With the increasing influence of technology on our lives, it is becoming ever more important to offer new ambient intelligence solutions which enable humans to adapt and organize their lives around computational technologies and technologies to adapt to meet user behaviour. We apply machine learning techniques to demonstrate how user needs can be satisfied and anticipated by adding Ambient Intelligence solutions to any environment equipped with well-established commercial domotic systems.Source: ERCIM news (2011): 36–37.

An adaptive and anticipatory AmI approach tailored to user needs
Miori V., Russo D.
The objective of the research is to propose a feasible software solution able to learn the behavior and habits of domotic home inhabitants in order to anticipate their needs. The proposed work consists of developing an application that integrates existing, well-established domotic systems with machine learning techniques to offer a ready and complete practicable solution for improving the quality of life in a technological living environment, such as a house, a yacht and so on. The proposed solution also represents a concrete aid for disabled and elderly occupants by providing them with greater autonomy and safety, especially for the critically ill because it is able to recognize unusual, potentially hazardous behavior. The prototype has been developed and is currently running at in the Pisa CNR laboratory, where a home environment is faithfully simulated.Source: 5th International Symposium on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, UCAmI 2011, Riviera Maya, Mexico, December 5-9 2011

Integrating online and traditional involvement in participatory budgeting
Miori V., Russo D.
Participatory Budgeting aims to increase democracy in city districts by permitting citizens to participate in the spending of public budgets and in the making of important decisions regarding public life. Until today, such participation was made available mostly through physical meetings organized by public administrations (off-line meetings). Only in recent years has software been developed in order to enable people to ,,gather" using ICT methodologies (on-line meetings). The paper describes this research project aimed at building a framework able to increase citizen participation in public life by developing new approaches, including the integration of off-line and on-line meetings among citizens and public administrations. Project eDem1.0, coordinated by the municipality of Rome and financed by the Italian Ministry for Innovation during the period March 2007 to February 2009, 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 (normative solutions and choices, new useful software instruments, project self-evaluation). The software platform, based on a social network structure, 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. Initial testing of the software was begun within the framework of the Rome Bilancio Partecipativo del Municipio XI (Participatory Budgeting for District 11). The current version is a freely available, open-source solution. Other, customized versions have been provided to and used by the region of Lazio and the township of Pescara.Source: Electronic journal of e-government 9 (2011): 41–57.

Integrating online and traditional involvement in participatory budgeting
Miori V., Russo D.
Participatory Budgeting aims to increase democracy in city districts by permitting citizens to participate in the spending of public budgets and in the making of important decisions regarding public life. The software Quimby, 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. A unique system seeks to achieve integration of the two channels, the "conventional" one (off-line) and the virtual one (on-line).

Anticipating health hazards through an ontology-based, IoT domotic environment
Miori V., Russo D.
Embedded intelligence entails a vision of the Internet of Things oriented to "Ambient Intelligence", which can be defined as the capacity to collect and analyze the digital traces left by people when they interact with the environment and with such "intelligent things". In such a vision, the ultimate aim is to acquire knowledge about everyday life and human behavior. We apply these concepts to the automated home, in which even nowadays devices (sensors and actuators) are already Internet-capable "things" endowed with their own intelligence. This work introduces a semantic knowledge representation for domotics following the principles of the semantic Web (Web 3.0). We have implemented specific ontologies that automatically take account of distributed environmental context information. The first result was to achieve a natural abstraction of different, incompatible devices in order to support interoperability in a consistent technology-independent manner and impart awareness to the domestic environment in which "things" such as furniture and other objects, as well as the rooms themselves, take on computational significance. This goal includes leveraging the development of a comprehensive intelligent ecosystem that, by applying machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, gains knowledge of the occupants' behaviors and habits and can thereby adapt itself to the specific setting and anticipate their needs without direct human intervention. The same modeling process serves as the basis for implementation of an e-health system that can anticipate, and thereby prevent, possible health hazards before emergency situations arise (especially for the sick and elderly).Source: The Sixth International Conference on Innovative Mobile and Internet Services in Ubiquitous Computing, pp. 745–750, Palermo (Italy), 4-6 July 2012
