The paper describes the feature of a prototypal system for in situ analysis of groundwater bodies. The system consists of a probe, equipped with sensors and with a water sampling device, and of a control unit, connected though an umbilical. With respect to other available systems of the same kind, the one at issue has innovative features, both in the mechatronic design and in the control and data processing architecture. In particular, thank to modularity, the probe can be assembled in different configurations, according to the user's requirements and to the dimension of the inspection well. The system self-organizes itself according to the chosen configuration and, analysing collected data, it can implement a number of auto-diagnosis procedures that improve reliability. In addition, using fuzzy reasoning, the system is able to provide a first rough evaluation of the quality of the monitored groundwater body, so to support and facilitate the operator's activity and decisional task. The system can be operated by means of two different m/m interfaces, a simpler one for routine use and a more powerful one for greater interactivity, also from remote locations via internet.

In the last years, integrated hardware/software architectures for the remote and/or automatic management of WasteWater Treatment Plants have been developed using different approaches and techniques. In this paper, we propose a different modular infrastructure which extends a Service-Oriented Architecture with the concept of Complex Event Processing. Our proposal is based on an Enterprise Service Bus, a distributed message-oriented middleware, extended with a Rule Service, embedding a rule engine in the system, an Event Router and an Event Scheduler. The infrastructure is then used to implement a modular and flexible management system for a Sequencing Batch Reactor treatment plant: this system includes a database facility, a user interface, a temporized manager to schedule the different phases of the treatment process and, finally, a signal-aware real-time DSS used for an adaptive process control.

Posidonia oceanica is of particular interest in environmental studies for its ecological and economical importance in Mediterranean coastal environments. The plant is a source of direct and indirect food for marine organisms and it contributes greatly to increase the content of oxygen in the water. Grasslands of Posidonia oceanica represent a biological indicator of pollution and of the physio-chemical status of the marine environment. This paper, after recalling the main characteristics of Posidonia oceanica, discussing of its importance in the marine ecosystem, and quickly summarizing the methodology to study grasslands' evolution, propose a new methodology for collecting data by means of advances underwater technologies (acoustic localization systems, diver propulsion vehicles and photo cameras). In particular, new tools for analysis and mapping the growth areas and their physio-chemical and morphological characteristics and for construction of augmented maps for GIS using open tools like Google Earth are presented. Preliminary results concerning the population of Posidonia oceanica in the Tremiti marine sanctuary, Italy, where it colonizes large areas, are described.

Efficient integration of distributed renewable generation into a reliable single entity in technical and commercial terms is one of key issues for successful realization of smart-grids. The novel concept of Virtual Power Plants (VPP) emerges to be promising response to these needs. ICT is enabling technology for VPP implementation. An efficient monitoring and control system coupled with appropriate communication structure must be designed in a scalable and modular way so that full interoperability among components of the system is achieved. On top of that, Control Center applications take care of power flow optimization (production, consumption, ancillary services etc.) and high-level applications (e.g. energy trading, Demand Side Management etc.). In this work we focus on functional requirements for realization of such concept by means of embedded systems.

The study of the marine coastal areas is of great importance, for both the protection and management of the environment. Due to the always increasing anthropic pressure, the availability of real time and model data can be critical for decisions, expecially during emergencies In addition, the availability of time-series and of observation points is necessary for proper problem setting and tuning of models and knowledge-based systems. We present some experience of Real Time data transmission and handling from stations and platforms, aiming toward a better integration into an Observation System.

A system for the monitoring of microclimate and air pollutant concentrations in heritage buildings has been developed and validated by means of a measurements campaign in the Villa della Regina, a Savoy residence in Torino. The in situ campaign is currently in progress in cooperation with the Soprintendenza per i Beni Storici, Artistici ed Etnoantropologici del Piemonte. The monitoring system is composed of a wireless network of smart buttons, specifically designed to satisfy the requirements for applications in the field of cultural heritage. The smart button sensors are configured to measure temperature and humidity. Some sensor prototypes equipped also with a POF sensor for the detection of Hg vapors have been developed and are being tested in laboratory.

Earthquake analysis and monitoring requires complex processing of raw data acquired from several kind of sensors or extracted from data repositories. Management and processing of huge amount of data produced by different sources, i.e. remote sensing and measurement stations of ground and atmospheric physical parameters, the complexity of the environmental models adopted to understand observed phenomena, the necessary distributed collaboration among scientists, results sharing and validation, require specific middleware and applications. A number of researches propose to transform acquired data into assessments of current ecosystem conditions and its evolution trends in time and space; many algorithms, protocols, and applications have been presented to collect, process and analyze ground precursors representing changes in the physical and chemical state of the Earth. These projects deal with data obtained i.e. from satellite, VLF signal and INGV database, integrated with meteorological data and stored in ad hoc repositories. No work deals with a general and flexible approach to integrate and manage different kind of data. In this paper we present a data warehouse to analyze earthquake signal precursors, whose goal is to fuse and exploit efficiently different kind of data and share/display the processing results. The proposed platform allows users/researches: to access data collected by different sources, to record data for future use, to normalize and visualize data for exploring and analyzing complex structure and relationships, and to process data using distributed computing resources and web applications. A case study related to data fusion of INGV data, magnetic field variations acquired by a network of VLF radio stations, MODIS data to evaluate modification in the ground temperature by satellite and geo-located sensor data of weather and climatic parameters is presented.

In a wide urban area, if the atmospheric circulation is absent or very feeble, air fluxes are driven by the thermal conditions, mainly due to diurnal heating. The warmer area surrounding the centre of the town, the urban heat island, has been studied for Milano, Italy. Taking into account the kind of results obtained, some criteria are suggested to evaluate from a climatological and energetic point of view the interrelation between the heat island and a significant presence of photovoltaic panels installed to produce electrical energy.
