Nowadays, the Internet connects people, multimedia and physical objects leading to a new-wave of services. This includes learning applications, which require to manage huge and mixed volumes of information coming from Web and social media, smart-cities and Internet of Things nodes. Unfortunately, designing smart e-learning systems able to take...

The increasing availability of sophisticated mobile network appliances, such as smartphones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), jointly with the maturity and cost-effectiveness of Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology, allow the rapid development of smart environments. This can dramatically increase the users experience enabling...

Recent advancements in the field of social networking, Web 2.0 technologies, grid and cloud computing, and mobile communications have significantly changed many concepts at the basis of e-learning. The latter is also a valuable tool for teaching in developing Countries, especially when jointly used with satellites allowing to overcome the...

As one of the main tasks of a project for developing an Advanced Cooperative Infomobility System (ACIS), we have devised and partly implemented a communication middleware for infomobility applications on vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Our VANET is a wireless nework established by the cars themselves, with support from a number of fixed...

Since its inception, the field of Green, Energy-Aware Security (GEAS) has gathered momentum and has seen many interesting developments in some of its different declinations. In this paper we will analyze some of the most recent evolutions and we will summarize the current state of the art describing some of the most interesting and promising...

This paper presents a middleware for managing task allocation to agents (humans, robots, or software artifacts) operating in environments equipped with RFID technology. The system uses workflows and task decomposition techniques for preparing a task plan, and exploits the RFID technology for distributing and deploying the tasks within the...
