Self-sustaining learning for robotic ecologies.
Bacciu D, Broxvall M, Coleman S, Dragone M, Gallicchio C, Gennaro C, Guzman R, Lopez R, Lozanopeiteado H, Ray A, Renteria A, Saffiotti A, Vairo CThe most common use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is to collect environmental data from a specific area, and to channel it to a central processing node for on-line or off-line analysis. The WSN technology, however, can be used for much more ambitious goals. We claim that merging the concepts and technology of WSN with the concepts and technology of distributed robotics and multi-agent systems can open new ways to design systems able to provide intelligent services in our homes and working places. We also claim that endowing these systems with learning capabilities can greatly increase their viability and acceptability, by simplifying design, customization and adaptation to changing user needs. To support these claims, we illustrate our architecture for an adaptive robotic ecology, named RUBICON, consisting of a network of sensors, effectors and mobile robots.

RUBICON - Preliminary version of Communication Layer
Broxvall M, Gennaro C, Vairo C, Saffiotti AThis report describes the software, Preliminary version of Communication Layer, presented as deliverable D1.3.1 for RUBICON. We focus here on a description of the design and implementation of this software, the exact scope of the current implementation and outline the future work to be performed as part of task 1.2 - 1.4, leading up to deliverable D1.3.2 in month 24. In addition to this report with an appendix documenting the communication layer API, the main part of the deliv- erable consists of the published software, available on the RUBICON code repository and later to be released on the project webpage. This report furthermore summarizes, in brief, the state of workpackage WP1 and the achievement of all tasks scheduled for M1-M12 of RUBICON.Project(s): RUBICON

RUBICON - Control Layer Architecture
Dragone M, Broxvall M, Pecora F, Saffiotti A, Swords D, Abdelnaby S, Vairo C, Gennaro CThis deliverable (D3.1) takes place at the end of the first task (T3.1 - Functional Design and Specifications) of WP3 - the RUBICON Control Layer. The goal of the Control Layer is to exercise high level control over the sensing/acting/communication capabilities of the RUBICON system. This control focuses on devising suitable action and configuration strategies while exploiting the RUBICON Learning Layer (WP2) to adapt these strategies to the environment and improve their quality over time. Together with D1.1, D2.1, and D4.1, this deliverable presents a set of requirements and specifications to support the development of the RUBICON system . The requirements reported here provide a collection of statements to inform research directions for the RUBICON project. They are based on several inputs: the Description of Work (DoW) document, a Closed Workshop (June 20-23, OÌ^rebro), the case studies described in Section 2.1 (which combine contributions from all the RUBICON partners), the requirements described in deliverables D2.1 and D4.1, as well as input from several informal discussions among the project consortium. These inputs are used to carry out domain analysis, leading to the identification of the requirements for the Control Layer. After that, this document examines the state of the art in control solutions applicable to robotic ecologies in order to provide a first approximation of the design of the control layer and its most important interactions with the other layers of the RUBICON architecture. Finally, this deliverable provides the specifications of a test-plan to be used for the development and the evaluation of the various releases of the RUBICON middleware.Project(s): RUBICON

MaD-WiSe: a distributed stream management system for wireless sensor networks
Amato G, Chessa S, Vairo CWireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of several sensors having limited memory, processing power, communication bandwidth, and energy, which cooperate in performing a given task. The use of the database paradigm has emerged in the last few years as a viable solution to manage data in such a context. In this paper we present the MaD-WiSe system, a distributed query processing framework that moves the processing of the query into the network. MaD-WiSe reconsiders various aspects related to database system design and it reinterprets them according to the WSN constraints and requirements. In particular it considers the aspects related to the definition of a query language to formalize the queries, a stream model to manage data acquired by the sensors, a query algebra to define the operators that actually perform the query, and energy efficiency and query optimization strategies for saving energy.Source: SOFTWARE-PRACTICE & EXPERIENCE, vol. 40 (issue 5), pp. 431-451

Optimizing network-side queries with timestamp-join in wireless sensor networks
Amato G, Chessa S, Vairo CThis paper proposes a new method for optimizing innetwork distributed queries that perform join of data produced simultaneously by different sensors in a wireless sensor network. We adopt a modified version of the standard join operator that relates tuples having the same timestamp, and an optimized version of it, which provides on-demand, pull-mode, data acquisition from sensors. The optimizer uses an algebraic approach based on transformation rules and ordering of operators to generate and chose a query plan that reduces the query execution cost in terms of consumed energy. We implemented these join operations in a query processor for mica-class sensors and we performed extensive tests to prove that our approach may reduce energy required to process a long running query, by order of magnitudes,with respect to non optimized query plans.

Modeling detection and tracking of complex events in wireless sensor networks
Amato G, Chessa S, Vairo C, Valleri PCurrent approaches to the query of wireless sensor networks address specific sources such as individual sensors or transducers. We believe that it is important to have a higher level mechanism of abstraction for querying a sensor network. In this work we aim at querying complex events, where such an event is modeled as a condition computed over a complex aggregate of sensed data. When the condition becomes true then the event is detected. In this paper we present a model for detecting and tracking such complex events in a WSN and we propose a declarative language for the event definition and for the detection and tracking specification and we also discuss its implementation guidelines.
