Location-based services and indoor navigation are just two examples of applications that can draw big advantages from indoor localization systems. Although there are different mature technology for the outdoor scenarios, a single accepted and reliable solution for the indoor case still lacks. Many technology have been investigated but the one promising the best accuracy in the position estimation is based on ultrasound. A solution developed in this context in introduced is this paper. A localization system is briefly discussed and, an assessment procedure, aimed at determining the optimal choice in designing a specific node of a Wireless Sensor Network composing the localization system, is addressed. In particular, the experimental assessment, was aimed at finding the optimal circuit parameter maximizing both the operative range and the noise rejection of an anchor node by investigating the maximum reading range variation and the accuracy of the reading itself as functions of a threshold value of a comparator stage. Results show that, if the application of interest requires to optimize the operating range of the localization system, the optimal working condition could be defined as the one assuring the maximum system specificity guaranteeing the largest operating range.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed database that serves as the directory of the Internet by mapping fully qualified domain names to IP addresses. The top level domain (TLD) is the highest level in the DNS hierarchy and until 2012, there had only been 22 of these domains for generic uses (gTLD). ICANN's New gTLD Program has since opened up the domain names to public registration, leading to the creation of thousands of new gTLDs over the last six years. The rapid increase in the number of gTLDs give registrants a wider choice of domain names but it also offers malicious actors more opportunities of attacks. By mirroring the DNS hierarchy, DNSSEC authenticates DNS responses and prevents modified or forged DNS records. We present a longitudinal analysis on the adoption of the new gTLDs and deployment of DNSSEC using data from a large campus network and a national-level authoritative name server. Although the popularity of new gTLDs is rapidly growing across a large number of domains, we find the proportion of queries to new gTLDs overall to remain very low. None of the top-10 queried TLDs were new gTLDs. We find DNSSEC deployment at the national level to be improving but still weaker than global averages. Efforts need to be made to ensure correct DS records are uploaded to the registry to complete the DNSSEC chain of trust.
域名系统DNS (Domain Name System)是一种层次化的分布式数据库，通过将完全限定的域名映射到IP地址，充当互联网的目录。顶级域名(TLD)是DNS层次结构中的最高级别，直到2012年，只有22个通用域名(gTLD)。此后，ICANN的新通用顶级域名项目向公众开放了域名注册，导致在过去六年中创建了数千个新通用顶级域名。通用顶级域名数量的快速增长为注册人提供了更广泛的域名选择，但也为恶意行为者提供了更多的攻击机会。DNSSEC通过镜像DNS结构，对DNS响应进行认证，防止DNS记录被篡改或伪造。本文利用来自大型校园网和国家级权威域名服务器的数据，对新通用顶级域名的采用和DNSSEC的部署进行了纵向分析。尽管新通用顶级域的受欢迎程度在大量域名中迅速增长，但我们发现对新通用顶级域的总体查询比例仍然很低。被查询的前10个顶级域名中没有一个是新顶级域名。我们发现，国家层面的DNSSEC部署正在改善，但仍低于全球平均水平。需要努力确保将正确的DS记录上传到注册表，以完成DNSSEC信任链。

Measuring the operating conditions of buildings’ components is generally applied to technical systems for improving the energy and environmental management, especially exploiting the IoT functions. However, the measuring and connectivity capabilities are not largely applied to the building envelope. This paper presents the development of a sensing and control system integrated into prefabricated envelope elements, with the functionalities typical of an IoT system. In fact, the Smart-IoT façade is based on the idea of transforming the buildings’ façade into a IoT device, capable of communicating with external actors: building owner/manager, building management systems or local controller. Given the importance of the façade as interface between indoor and outdoor environments, the possibility of having real-time data on the envelope operating conditions, is significant to improve the building operation, in terms of comfort and energy efficiency, enabling the adaptive or intelligent façade concept. To this aim, the RenoZEB project is developing a plug&play façade module for building renovation, with embedded sensors and actuators. The module with the sensing architecture is completely assembled off-site, reducing the amount of work to be done onsite. Once installed and configured, the module sends data to a IoT platform, that makes them available for third parties. Different configurations of sensors/actuators can be developed. Among them, this paper presents a solution to optimize the control of windows’ shadings. Thus, the façade sensing system has been integrated with an advanced controller that aims at optimizing the shadings position to provide the maximum comfort but allowing the right amount of solar radiation to pass through the windows.

Wearable devices are an enabling technology for pervasive and continuous physiological monitoring of health conditions. In this paper the aim is to provide continuous health monitor for a group of people living in the same place. Monitoring examples range from health conditions of elderly people in a nursing or rest home, to physical conditions of people doing physical activity in a gym or a swimming pool. We consider the implementation of IEEE Standard 802.15.6, focusing on a real time cardiac activity monitoring in a rest home scenario, but a variety of application with similar features can also be considered. We investigate the effect of different parameters, such as the duration of the superframe and its fields, the user priority (UP) of the nodes and packet payload size.Through numerical simulation we analyze network configurations with the aim of providing quality of service (QoS) support to the highest number of nodes. The considered set up is also able to support a sufficiently high number of nodes for the proposed application also in regards of quality of experience (QoE).The CSMA/CA protocol allows to handle mobility with a suitable degree of flexibility, so that monitored subjects need not be restricted in their movement. Multiple collection nodes must be employed when larger areas have to be covered and in this case dealing with mobility becomes more complex, but this analysis is beyond the scope of this paper.

Indoor object classification is a key element for indoor navigation assistance systems. Indoor objects knowledge helps Visually Impaired People (VIP) in their indoor navigation and facilitates their daily life. This paper proposes a new classification system used especially for indoor object recognition based on Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) model which can be implemented on mobile embedded platforms. Experimental results obtained using natural images (with natural illumination) from the MCIndoor 20000 dataset show that the proposed approach achieves almost100% accuracy for indoor object classification.

In this paper, application of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol is investigated, with the aim of achieving time-synchronization for Time of flight (ToF) measurements-based positioning. The proposed approach may provide a competitive solution for portable and wearable devices, medical devices, home automation systems, and sensor-based low-power systems for the Internet of Things (IoT). A simulation model was implemented for a 2D scenario using ToF measurements, considering a delay model and simulating an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The communication latencies were realistically modeled, using a dataset of measurements collected from a real device. The results show an achievable positioning accuracy of about 1 mm, significantly improving with respect to an unsynchronized Time Difference of Arrival (TDoA) positioning system, supervised using a BLE protocol [1]. The results demonstrate the feasibility of accurate and low-cost positioning systems, based on ToF measurements on ultrasound transmissions and triggered by BLE RF transmissions.

The paper presents an innovative system for the simultaneous noninvasive monitoring and synchronized storage of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) signals and blood pressure (BP) values. Because it is noninvasive, the proposed monitoring system will permit to achieve signals from both healthy and un-healthy patients and then to create a wide and heterogeneous base of knowledge to properly train automatic classifiers. The final aim is to permit the reliable BP evaluation through the umpteen IoT devices able to acquire the PPG signal, nowadays available on the market. This will permit the BP monitoring every time and every were and then the early diagnosis of several cardiovascular diseases.

Reliable Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements require complex radar instrumentation systems, very expensive and dedicated test ranges and operations, especially in the case of full scale targets.The capability to perform RCS measurements exploiting near field (NF) test ranges and non-ideally anechoic environments is more and more attractive. Applications related to these topics are recently gaining great interest especially in the design-prototyping loop of low observable platforms and full scale components. To this purpose, Ingegneria dei Sistemi (IDS) has been developing validated RCS measurement solutions and innovative processing techniques for more than ten years.This paper describes a radar image based near-field to far-field (NF2FF) processing procedure to get RCS plots of full scale aerial targets measured in near field conditions, exploiting clutter controlled manufacturing areas, open sites and semi-anechoic laboratories, avoiding perfect anechoic chambers and complex supporting structures.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) increasingly plays an important role for prevention, diagnosis and rehabilitation in healthcare field. In this context, the continuous monitoring of the electrical potentials produced by muscles appears to be effective to detect abnormal events in a fast way. The recent progresses in EMG technologies have allowed for the development of low invasive and reliable EMG-based wearable device. These devices promote long-term monitoring, however they are often very expensive and not easy to be positioned appropriately. Moreover they use mono-use pre-gelled electrodes that can cause skin redness. To overcome the issues, a prototype of a new smart sock has been realized. It detects EMG signals coming from the Gastrocnemius-Tibialis muscles of the leg. Such muscles appear relevant for assessment of age-related changes in gait, sarcopenia pathology, postural anomalies, fall risk, etc. The developed socks are minimally invasive, lightweight and can send the data through a Bluetooth low energy connection. Moreover, they are equipped with reusable stretchable and non adhesive hybrid polymer electrolytes-based electrodes for high biocompatibility. In the paper it has been described, as a case study, the use of the socks to detect the risk of falling.
