This work deals with a measurement procedure for a fast and low-cost characterization of antennas for "Appareil de Recherche de Victimes d'Avalanches" (ARVAs). ARVA antennas are usually simple coil antennas tuned at 457 KHz. Such a low frequency ensures robust signal detection even in extremely harsh conditions, i.e. when the transmitter is buried under meters of snow and debris. Till now, the form factor has been one of the most critical design constraint of such antennas, since they are supposed to fit into handheld devices. However, in the near future, ARVA receivers could be mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) flying over the avalanche areas to speed up the search for victims. In this context, new-generation and more sensitive antennas are needed, which require considerable design efforts. Unfortunately, the measurement systems commonly used to characterize radio frequency (RF) or microwave antennas can be hardly used to this purpose, due to the low operating frequency and the short range of ARVA devices. To overcome these problems, a measurement procedure able to characterize the equivalent circuit parameters as well as the Q-factor of antennas for avalanche beacons has been developed, and finally validated experimentally by means of a Virtual Instrument implemented in LabVIEW. The results obtained using two different antennas confirm that the proposed approach can provide accurate results, once the main systematic contributions are estimated and compensated.

Internet-of-things (IoT) paradigm exploits the Distributed Measurement System (DMS) to execute measurements. Each node of the DMS has computational and communicative capabilities, and can be equipped by sensors and measurement instruments. Therefore, it can be assumed as Smart Object (SO). The availability of mobile SO (MSO) (cars, smartphones, drones) is taken into consideration in the research to investigate about its effect on the synchronization task of the DMS. The changing topology of the network makes difficult the application of traditional synchronization techniques based on a hierarchical approach. The consensus technique is experimented in the case of a MSO moving in a wireless network. Numerical tests assess the influence of the speed of the MSO on the synchronization accuracy and the time interval required to synchronize all the SOs.

In this paper, we present a framework for indoor positioning and navigation purposes. This framework uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for rendering combined outdoor and indoor maps, for the calculation of navigation routes as well as for the correction of indoor positioning algorithms. Based on six general requirements, which we formulate and explain in this paper, the architecture and realization of this framework was designed. Finally, we show that, with the help of this framework, future indoor positioning applications can be developed in a time-efficient and reliable way.

Museum environmental monitoring is an important issue for the artifact conservation. Many solutions have been proposed to tackle this problem, but the museum constraints prevent an easy application in several cases, especially if the monitoring has to be performed in museums where an environmental control system has been already installed. This paper describes a simple though powerful solution, which complies with most of the common constraints and which is based on small sensors implementing a BT-LE wireless protocol coupled with a receiving architecture. The sensing nodes have dimensions of few centimeters, do not require cabling and power supply, and can work unattended for several years. Data are collected by a receiving architecture, which can work either on-line, with immediate data delivery, or off-line when an Internet connection is not available. Users can browse the measurements by using their smart-phones from any place and can download the data on their personal computer. In addition they can browse locally the data also in the absence of any data connection, such as in the case of remote and or recessed sites. The proposed solution has been deployed in three museums, also in the basements, and in an ancient building proving its flexibility and capability to be adapted to the different conditions.

In both wired and wireless networks, time synchronization is an important service for a wide range of applications in distributed systems. This includes radio interferometry. However, literature researches show that many distributed protocols cannot satisfy sub-ns time synchronization accuracy due to asymmetric delay errors, accumulated jitters and because of the strategy used to compute and adjust offsets. This paper proposes a global time synchronization algorithm in distributed networks. The algorithm allows us to compute and adjust offsets delays between master and each slaves in star topology and minimize asymmetric delays with sub-ns accuracy better than 10 ps and achieved global time synchronization. The theory of the algorithm used is presented and analyzed to prove that it achieves global time synchronization. Simulation results are given to show the performance and limitations of the proposed algorithm.

Streaming media applications generate a sizable part of network traffic and represent a significant proportion of network providers' income. The commitment to user satisfaction can be summarized by different concepts, content providers emphasizing quality of experience (QoE), whereas network providers are more focused on quality of service (QoS). Measuring QoS parameters, and understanding the relationship between the two, is essential to enable network tuning for enhanced QoE. Analysis of actual streaming dynamics and detection of impairments require the ability to discriminate between audio and video packet flows. For the purpose we present a cross-layer analysis based on the study of packet flow features obtained by implementing a Support Vector Machine. This paper presents results of a study supported by the use of nTh HighSee, a non-intrusive QoS monitoring tool, where approaches to video/audio detection have been investigated and tested.

Participation of electromagnetic compatibility testing laboratories in proficiency tests is a recommended practice for the purpose of assuring the quality of test results. Participation to proficiency tests is mandatory for laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 [1]. However a proficiency test can be successfully organized and completed only if the measurement method in the scope of the proficiency test is reproducible. This study highlights, through practical examples, why not all electromagnetic compatibility test methods can be submitted to proficiency testing.

In the touristic field, the trip is defined as the set of goods and services used by the traveler; Is organized by a manufacturer (tour operator) who designs and builds a reference path consistent with customer demand. Designing an itinerary is, therefore, a complex task because many variables need to be considered. It should be emphasized that each route has to change depending on the user's characteristics and needs. In this paper, we introduce a Context Aware approach that can gather content and services in a context and present them according to user typology. The whole system is adaptive by being able to record context changes through the paradigm of the internet of things. A case study applied to the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy was conducted as an experimental campaign.

A proof-of-principle demonstrator based on ultra-sonic technology capable of identifying the beacon node within 450 μs is discussed. Time difference of arrival is measured by means of a microcontroller-based board Nucleo STM32 L152RE combined with a custom receiving circuit. The position is computed using a personal computer after the demonstrator acquisition. The demonstrator is validated by static 2D position measurements using two synchronized emitting beacon nodes in a 1.8 m × 2.0 m area with an accuracy of 5.59 cm.

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are engineered solutions obtained through the seamless integration of computational algorithms and physical components. Nowadays, they are entitled to drive innovation and competition in different fields such as agriculture, building design and automation, energy, healthcare, transportation and, above all, industrial manufacturing. In fact, CPS technology is going to transform the way people interact with engineered systems — just as the Internet has transformed the way people interact with information. Among CPS technologies, measurement and networking ones play a fundamental role, being enrolled as the natural bridge between the cyber and physical components of a CPS. A number of interconnected sensors and transducers are claimed to give inner and outer, local measurement data that, once processed through suitable algorithms and analytics, have to provide reliable information about the effectiveness of the whole CPS and its interaction with the external world, as well as its health status for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. So, great attention has to be paid to network models and architectures, to sensor forms and functions, in order to make CPSs properly integrate the continuous and the discrete, compounded by the uncertainty of open environments. The paper aims at opening a preliminary discussion on the role and features of measurement and networking technologies in CPS application fields, with special regard to industrial manufacturing, within a scientific community traditionally close to instrumentation and measurement (IM) issues, in order to stimulate and encourage useful and fruitful cross-fertilization. After some details concerning the general structure of a CPS, its typical architectural model and main features, a special focus is put on CPSs involved in industrial manufacturing along with measurement and networking facets. Some considerations about major measurement challenges that the CPS self-awareness feature poses in maintenance and troubleshooting operations are then drawn. Concluding remarks are finally reported.
