In the latest years we have been witnessing an evolution of the technological framework thanks to the Internet of Things paradigm, which is enabling innovative smart services for many different applications. The healthcare system is among the main scenarios that are benefiting from this new trend, thus giving rise to the concept of eHealth. In...

The growing interest in concepts such as smart cities and smart mobility is giving more and more importance to place of interest (POI) information, which proves to be crucial in providing efficient and tailored location-based services (LBSs). Though plenty of solutions exist for recognizing indoor places, the literature lacks of approaches...

Thanks to the great proliferation of mobile devices within the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, Smart Buildings and Smart Cities are becoming hot topics. In such smart environments, user localization plays a central role. More specifically, Point-of-Interest (POI) recognition is one of the most attractive Location-Based-Service (LBS)...

In the latest years great importance and research efforts have been put into safety and security aspects concerning the vehicular framework. In this connection, maritime surveillance is playing an important role, since situation awareness proves fundamental to ensure safety conditions at sea. In this work, we propose a novel maritime...

The growth of Internet traffic especially with respect to mobile broadband services is one of the main motivations towards the integration of satellite and 5G networks. A key building block for the overall network orchestration will be the efficient definition and management of network slices, which eventually translates into efficient...

Remotely piloted vehicles have become more and more popular in recent years due to their increased availability on the market. In general, drones can represent a threat for public safety due to their potential misuse. This motivation gives rise to the need of devising specific methods and techniques to monitor sensitive areas, in order to...

In the latest years, the popularity of commercial drones has grown rapidly due to their cheaper costs and great availability on the market. The great diffusion of remotely piloted devices unfortunately leads to several security and safety concerns that need to be tackled. In this paper, we consider a fingerprint-based drone detection approach...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly utilized in smart cities to perform traffic monitoring tasks such as multiple object detection and tracking. The task's criticality is dependent on the drones' dynamic altitude, movable camera, and various viewing angles. These challenges are addressed once the UAVs' collected data is received....

Given the extreme diffusion of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), the necessity for a solution to early detect neurological symptoms of such diseases strongly arose. According to the medical literature, such early detection can be achieved by exploiting the correlation between PD and AD and some external symptoms: the...

According to data traffic forecast reported in 1), the volume of data transported by Internet in 2021 will exceed the threshold of 3.0 ZB per year, generated by roughly 30 billions of devices. SATCOMs capability to bring Internet connectivity in parts of the world that until few years ago were impossible to reach (e.g., in the middle of the...

The leading trends in the framework of the Internet of Things are driving the research community to provide smart systems and solutions aimed at revolutionizing medical sciences and healthcare. One of the major opportunities offered by IoT lies in the ubiquitous connectivity, thus enabling smart services such as remote patient monitoring,...
