The paper presents the Story Map Building and Visualizing Tool (SMBVT) that allows users to create story maps within a collaborative environment and a usable Web interface. It is entirely open-source and published as a free-to-use solution. It uses...
Digital maps greatly support storytelling about territories, especially when enriched with data describing cultural, societal, and ecological aspects, conveying emotional messages that describe the territory as a whole. Story maps are interactive...
Western thought in European history was mainly affected by the image of the world created during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The most popular reason to travel during the Middle Ages was taking a pilgrimage. Jerusalem, Rome, and Santiago de...
This paper presents the Story Map Building and Visualizing Tool (SMBVT), asoftware that allows users to create and visualise semantic story maps using auser-friendly web interface. The tool uses Wikidata as external reference knowledge base and...
How people interact with digital technologies is currently caught between the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. In both trends, human control over technology is jeopardized. At the same time, little is happening in terms of innovating how...
Automations can help support the achievement of various types of goals in a smart home. We present an architecture enabling the possibility of supporting user goals consistent with the principles of a circular economy (such as energy saving and waste...
The paper outlines the initial efforts of the Author, who is focused on developing solutions to assist end-users in generating Extended Reality experiences, even if they lack programming or 3D modelling expertise. The current research of the Author...
Current technological trends have enabled several smart spaces in our daily environments. A typical example is the home, which is becoming more and more populated by connected objects and sensors. In this way, even people who are not professional...
The pervasiveness of objects equipped with sensors and actuators and characterised by the possibility of communicating over the Internet in daily environments has steadily increased in recent years. They make possible the creation of several types of...
Automations in the context of smart homes have been adopted more and more frequently; thus, users should be able to control them and create automations most suitable to their needs. Current solutions for this purpose are based on visual apps with...
This is the proposal of the 4th International Workshop on ’Empowering People in Dealing with Internet of Things Ecosystems’ (EMPATHY 2023). Link: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-3408/short-s4-00.pdf
The pervasiveness in daily environments of objects equipped with sensors and actuators and characterized by the possibility of communicating over the Internet has steadily increased in recent years. In this scenario, smart home automations are becoming...
Several tools have been put forward for creating automations in smart homes both at a research and commercial level. However, often people still encounter difficulties in specifying them in order to obtain the desired behaviour. To design authoring...
The continuously increasing number of connected objects and sensors is opening up the possibility of introducing automations in many domains to better support people in their activities. However, such automations to be effective should be under the...
Smart homes are becoming a widespread reality given the increasingly available number of connected objects and sensors. However, it is still unclear what people expect from automations that are made possible by this technological evolution. In...
ABSTRACT In the dynamic fields of semiconductor design and digital system development, effective verification procedures are in high demand. In particular, functional verification is essential for space systems to guarantee mission success, prevent...
ABSTRACT - In recent years, optical communications have gained a foothold in satellite communications because of their high bandwidth data transmission capability and the capacity to cover much greater distances than radio systems. Recently, the...
Abstract — This paper describes how different IP Cores for on-board high-speed data interfaces have been developed and verified by IngeniArs S.r.l. These are the CODECs and Routers implementing SpaceWire and SpaceFibre communication protocols, i.e.,...
