Mobile systems, cyber physical systems, IoT, and real time systems

DISI's research goals in this area include effective and efficient solutions for the modeling, design, implementation and experimental evaluation of middleware supports for mobile devices and networks, capable of accelerating and simplifying the development of mobile applications and scalably supporting their execution on real deployment environments. Such solutions include, for example, predictive middleware for always best connectivity, middleware for spontaneous networks hybridized with social networks, models and architectures for efficient cross-layering, middleware for mobile crowdsensing in urban environments. Moreover, DISI is active in the area of management of vehicular networks, systems and applications (also for collaborative monitoring of vehicular traffic and collaborative safety). Finally, in the specific area of cyber physical systems, the main research activities concern the design, implementation and experimental validation of middleware for smart environments, with particular reference to smart home/city scenarios. These solutions have as main objectives

  1. the management of sensors, actuators and heterogeneous wireless networks through appropriate clustering techniques for scalability and dynamic deployment of proxies;
  2. the transparent management of operational safety areas for implementation actions;
  3. the optimization of embedded Network on Chip system architectures and heterogeneous communication protocols, especially in the machine-to-machine environment and for the reduction of energy consumption on battery-powered systems.
