Moreover, the book details a set of real-world applications and case studies related to specific smart infrastructures and smart cities, including structural health monitoring, smart urban drainage networks, smart grids, power efficiency, healthcare, city security, and emergency management. A Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE) is a people-centric system of systems that involves smart city environments, applications, and infrastructures. SUEs require the close integration of cyber and physical components for monitoring, understanding and controlling the urban environment. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) offers a valuable enabling technology, as it bridges the gap between physical things and software components, and empowers cooperation between distributed, pervasive, and heterogeneous entities.} } @InCollection{ICN2019, AUTHOR = {Amadeo, Marica and Giordano, Andrea and Mastroianni, Carlo and Molinaro, Antonella}, TITLE = {On the Integration

paper analyzes and evaluates the strategies and implications related to the execution of parallel algorithms on a distributed Cloud infrastructure, with the focus on an important class of applications for which the execution is performed on spatial data, dislocated on a bidimensional territory. Applications of interest cover a wide spectrum ranging from Internet of Things to social sciences, geology, swarm-inspired computation etc. The territory is partitioned into regions, and regions are assigned to parallel computational nodes to speed up the execution. Parallel nodes are aligned through the exchange of messages in order to ensure a coherent and efficient execution. The paper offers an analysis of the parallelization cost in this context, especially in terms of communication overhead, which is essential to estimate the impact of porting the computation onto a Cloud environment. More in particular, the paper evaluates two different strategies for space partitioning, i.e., linear partitioning and bidimensional partitioning, with a specific focus on scalability analysis, and compares the two strategies when both options are exploitable.} } @Article{EnsembleLearning15, AUTHOR = {Cesario, Eugenio and Mastroianni, Carlo and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {Distributed Volunteer

applications require the execution of a large number of independent tasks. One highly successful and low cost mechanism for acquiring the necessary computing power for these applications is the “public-resource computing”, or “desktop Grid” paradigm, which exploits the computational power of private computers. So far, this paradigm has not been applied to data mining applications for two main reasons. First, it is not straightforward to decompose a data mining algorithm into truly independent sub-tasks. Second, the large volume of involved data makes it difficult to handle the communication costs of a parallel paradigm. This paper introduces a general framework for distributed data mining applications called Mining@home. In particular, we focus on one of the main data mining problems: the extraction of closed frequent itemsets from transactional databases. We show that it is possible to decompose this problem into independent tasks, which however need to share a large volume of data. We thus introduce a data-intensive computing network, which adopts a P2P topology based on super peers with caching capabilities, aiming to support the dissemination of large amounts of information. Finally, we evaluate the execution of a pattern extraction task on such network.}, KEYWORDS = {Data Caching, Distributed Data Mining, Job Submission, P2P, Parallel Data Mining, Public Resource Computing} } @TechReport{GioMas2010, AUTHOR = {Giordanelli, Raffaele and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = {The Cloud Computing Paradigm: Characteristics, Opportunities and Research Issues}, YEAR = {2010}, MONTH = {April}, NUMBER = {RT-ICAR-CS-10-01}, INSTITUTION = {ICAR-CNR}, URL = {http://www.icar.cnr.it/tr/2010/01}, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/papers/pdf/RT-01-2010-CloudSurvey.pdf}, ABSTRACT = {The Cloud Computing paradigm has become one of the most interesting trends in the arena of distributed computing owing to its numerous merits: Cloud frameworks allow the managers of server farms to adapt and optimize resource usage; the “start-up” of small and medium enterprises is becoming easier and less onerous, thanks to the possibility of cutting fixed costs; Clouds can support industrial and academic research efficiently, because they allow complex tasks to be executed in short time with the use of resources allocated on demand. After a short summary of Cloud Computing origins and history, this document aims to illustrate the main ideas underlying the Cloud paradigm, and describe the different kinds of Cloud frameworks, trying to shed light over the confusion about the Cloud Computing concept. This document also examines the peculiarities and similarities of Cloud Computing with respect to the other paradigms that have recently emerged in the field of parallel/distributed computing, such as Peerto- Peer, Grid Computing and Utility Computing. All these paradigms have several common objectives, therefore there are notable benefits that can derive from the use of Cloud solutions in existing and future computing systems: these benefits, and the way to accomplish them, are discussed. Finally, the most important Cloud frameworks that are currently available are illustrated and compared.} } @InProceedings{ForMasPdp10, AUTHOR = {Forestiero, Agostino and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = { Enhancing Pastry with an Ant-Inspired Algorithm}, YEAR = {2010}, MONTH = {17-19 February}, BOOKTITLE = {Proc. of the 18th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and Network-Based Computing (PDP 2010)}, PUBLISHER = {SEA-Publications}, NOTE = {ISBN: 978-3-902457-26-4}, KEYWORDS = {Multi-agent systems, P2P, swarm intelligence} } @Article{PirMastrTalFGCS10, AUTHOR = {Pirrò, Giuseppe and Mastroianni, Carlo and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {A Framework for Distributed Knowledge Management: Design and Implementation}, YEAR = {2010}, MONTH = {January}, JOURNAL = {Future Generation Computer Systems}, VOLUME = {26}, NUMBER = {1}, PAGES = {38-49}, URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2009.06.004 }, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/pubadmin/../papers/pdf/Fgcs2010.pdf}, KEYWORDS = {Knolwedge Management, P2P, Peer-to-Peer} } @Article{ForMasJNCA09, AUTHOR = {Fortino, Giancarlo and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = {Next generation content networks}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {September}, JOURNAL = {Journal on Network and Computing Applications}, VOLUME = {32}, NUMBER = {5}, PAGES = {941-942}, PUBLISHER = {Elsevier Science}, URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jnca.2009.05.001}, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/papers/pdf/NextGenerationContentNetworks.pdf}, KEYWORDS = {Content Distribution Networks, Grid, Multi-agent systems, P2P} } @Article{ForMasTevc09, AUTHOR = {Forestiero, Agostino and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = {A Swarm Algorithm for a Self-Structured P2P Information System}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {August}, JOURNAL = {IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation}, VOLUME = {13}, NUMBER = {4}, PAGES = {681-694}, URL = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isnumber=5208462&arnumber=5208610&count=21&index=1}, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/pubadmin/../papers/pdf/Tevc2009.pdf}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Multi-agent systems, P2P, self-organization, swarm intelligence} } @TechReport{CesDecMasCoreGrid2009, AUTHOR = {Cesario, Eugenio and De Caria, Nicola and Mastroianni, Carlo and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {Distributed Data Mining using a Public Resource Computing Framework}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {23 July}, NUMBER = {TR-0181}, INSTITUTION = {CoreGRID Network of Excellence - Research Topics: Data & Knowledge Management, Self-* and adaptive mechanisms}, URL = {http://www.coregrid.net/mambo/content/view/789/1/}, KEYWORDS = {Knowledge Management, Peer-to-Peer} } @Article{ForMasMags09, AUTHOR = {Fortino, Giancarlo and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = {Content management and delivery through P2P-based content networks}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {July}, JOURNAL = {Multiagent and Grid Systems}, VOLUME = {5}, NUMBER = {2}, PAGES = {133-135}, PUBLISHER = {IOS Press}, URL = {http://iospress.metapress.com/content/9887027t83u54482/?p=8f035c296caa4b4a9bcf57728ed73ff9&pi=0}, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/pubadmin/../papers/pdf/ContentManagementDelivery2009.pdf}, KEYWORDS = {Content Distribution Networks, Multi-agent systems, P2P, Peer-to-Peer} } @Book{ForMasPatVak09, TITLE = {UPGRADE-CN '09: Proceedings of the 4th edition of the UPGRADE-CN workshop on the Use of P2P, GRID and agents for the development of content networks}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {June}, EDITOR = {Fortino, Giancarlo and Mastroianni, Carlo and Pathan, Mukaddim and Vakali, Athena}, ADDRESS = {Garching, Germany}, PUBLISHER = {ACM Press}, URL = {http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1552486.1552516&coll=ACM&dl=ACM&type=series&idx=SERIES10897&part=series&WantType=Proceedings&title=HPDC&CFID=38750621&CFTOKEN=59753822}, NOTE = {ISBN:978-1-60558-591-8}, KEYWORDS = {Content Distribution Networks, Grid, Multi-agent systems, P2P} } @Book{FolKraMas09, TITLE = {BADS '09: Proceedings of the Workshop on Bio-Inspired Algorithms for Distributed Systems}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {June}, EDITOR = {Folino, Gianluigi and Krasnogor, Natalio and Mastroianni, Carlo and Zambonelli, Franco}, ADDRESS = {Barcelona, Spain}, PUBLISHER = {ACM Press}, URL = {http://bads.icar.cnr.it/bads09/index.php?annonew=2009}, NOTE = {ISBN: 978-1-60558-564-2}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Multi-agent systems, P2P, self-organization, swarm intelligence} } @InProceedings{ForMasMeo09, AUTHOR = {Forestiero, Agostino and Mastroianni, Carlo and Meo, Michela}, TITLE = {Self-Chord: a Bio-Inspired Algorithm for Structured P2P Systems}, YEAR = {2009}, MONTH = {May}, BOOKTITLE = {Proc. of the 9th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2009)}, ADDRESS = {Shanghai, China}, URL = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=5071832}, PDF = {http://gridlab.dimes.unical.it/papers/pdf/SelfChordPaper.pdf}, SLIDES = {http://grid.deis.unical.it/publications/../papers/slides/self-chord.pdf}, NOTE = {ISBN: 978-0-7695-3622-4.

This paper examines an approach based on ant systems to replicate and map Grid services information on Grid hosts according to the semantic classification of such services. The Ant-based Replication and MApping Protocol (ARMAP) is used to disseminate resource information by a decentralized mechanism, and its effectiveness is evaluated by means of an entropy index. Information is disseminated by agents – ants – that traverse the Grid by exploiting P2P interconnections among Grid hosts. A mechanism inspired by real ants’ pheromone is used by each agent to autonomously drive its behavior on the basis of its interaction with the environment. “Swarm Intelligence” emerges from the activity of a high number of ants. The ARMAP protocol enables the use of a semi-informed search algorithm which can drive query messages towards a cluster of peers having information about resources belonging to the requested class. A simulation analysis has been performed to evaluate the performance of ARMAP.}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Multi-agent systems, self-organization, swarm intelligence} } @InProceedings{MasPirTalINFOSC08, AUTHOR = {Mastroianni, Carlo and Pirrò, Giuseppe and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {A Hybrid Architecture for Content Consistency and Peer Synchronization in Cooperative P2P Environments}, YEAR = {2008}, MONTH = {June}, BOOKTITLE = {Proc. of Infoscale 2008, the third International ICST Conference on Scalable Information Systems}, ADDRESS = {Vico Equense, Italy}, ORGANIZATION = {ICST}, URL = {http://www.infoscale.org/}, NOTE = {ISBN: 978-963-9799-28-8}, KEYWORDS = {Collaborative Systems, Knolwedge Management} } @TechReport{coregrid:tr0141, AUTHOR = {Barbalace, Daniela and Lucchese, Claudio and Mastroianni, Carlo and Orlando, Salvatore and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {Distributed Data Mining in Desktop Grids}, YEAR = {2008}, MONTH = {June}, NUMBER = {TR-0141}, INSTITUTION = {Institute on Knowledge and Data Management, Institute on Architectural Issues: Scalability, Dependability, Adaptability, CoreGRID -

A number of ant-like agents travel the Grid through P2P interconnections and use probability functions to replicate resource descriptors and collect those related to resources with similar characteristics in nearby Grid hosts. Resource reorganization results from the collective activity of a large number of agents, which perform simple operations at the local level, but together engender an advanced form of “swarm intelligence” at the global level. An adaptive tuning mechanism based on the epidemic paradigm is used to regulate the dissemination of resources according to users’ needs. Simulation analysis shows that the epidemic mechanism can be used to balance the two main functionalities of the proposed approach: entropy reduction and resource replication.}, NOTE = {ISBN: 978-3-540-72359-2}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Multi-agent systems, self-organization, swarm intelligence} } @Article{ForRusMasIEEEMM, AUTHOR = {Fortino, Giancarlo and Russo, Wilma and Mastroianni, Carlo and Palau, Carlos and Esteve, Manuel}, TITLE = {CDN-Supported Collaborative Media Streaming Control}, YEAR = {2007}, MONTH = {April}, JOURNAL = {IEEE MultiMedia}, VOLUME = {14}, NUMBER = {2}, PAGES = {60--71}, ADDRESS = {Los Alamitos, CA, USA}, PUBLISHER = {IEEE Computer Society}, URL = {http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/MMUL.2007.29}, ABSTRACT = {We propose a system called Comodin, based on a content distribution network (CDN), that provides collaborative media playback services.

This paper evaluates a resource discovery protocol exploitable in a hierarchical Grid and compares it with a super-peer based model which has recently been introduced.

The effective use of a PSE toolkit requires the management of the heterogeneity of the involved resources that can include computers, data, network facilities, sensors, and software tools provided by different organizations. A distributed implementations of a PSE toolkit can be envisioned through the exploitation of features and functionalities offered by a service-oriented Grid framework, so obtaining a Grid PSE toolkit based on Web services. This paper presents a metadata model for Grid PSE toolkits based on Web services and the architecture of an information system that exploits the proposed metadata model.

This paper examines an approach based on ant-based systems to replicate and map Grid services information on Grid hosts according to a given semantic classification of such services. Information is disseminated by agents (ants), which traverse the Grid by exploiting the P2P interconnections among Grid hosts. An entropy index is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed Ant-based Replication and MApping protocol (ARMAP), and control the dissemination of resource information. This approach enables the use of a semi-informed search algorithm which can drive query messages towards a cluster of peers having information about resources belonging to the requested class. A simulation analysis has been performed to evaluate the performance of the ARMAP protocol.}, NOTE = {ISBN: 1-58603-577-0}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Multi-agent systems, P2P, self-organization, swarm intelligence} } @InProceedings{ComMasTalMMGPS, AUTHOR = {Comito, Carmela and Mastroianni, Carlo and Talia, Domenico}, TITLE = {Metadata Management in a Grid-based PSE Toolkit}, YEAR = {2004}, MONTH = {December}, BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the 2nd IST Workshop on Metadata Management in Grid and P2P Systems (MMGPS 2004)}, ADDRESS = {London, United Kingdom}, URL = {http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/ist_workshop/mmgps04/index_04.htm}, KEYWORDS = {Grid, Metadata, PSE} } @InProceedings{CuzMasECWEB04, AUTHOR = {Cuzzocrea, Alfredo and Mastroianni, Carlo}, TITLE = {Enriching Conceptual Modeling of XML-Aware Adaptive Web Systems with Object-Oriented Constructs and UML Diagrams}, YEAR = {2004}, MONTH = {August}, BOOKTITLE = {Proc. of the 5th International Conference on E-Commerce and Web Technologies (EC-Web 2004)}, VOLUME = {3182}, PAGES = {248--258}, SERIES = {LNCS}, ADDRESS = {Zaragoza, Spain}, PUBLISHER = {Springer-Verlag}, ABSTRACT = {This work presents a model for Adaptive Web Systems designed with a two-layer architecture.

The model makes use of XML for the description of metadata about ldquoneutralrdquo pages that have to be adapted to user characteristics. Moreover, we propose a three-dimensional approach to model different aspects of the adaptation model, based on different user characteristics: an adaptive hypermedia is modeled with respect to such dimensions, and a view over it corresponds to each potential position of the user in the ldquoadaptation spacerdquo.

multimedia server.The proposed protocol basically relies on a lower-level protocol incorporating a multicast-based coordination mechanism that reduces competition among clients for accessing a shared resource.Performance evaluation of the lower-level protocol was carried out on multicast control trees using a discrete-event simulator.Simulation results showed tha the lower-level protocol provides higher performances than random floor control protocols which do not exploit coordination among clients.}, NOTE = {ISBN: 0-7695-2242-4}, KEYWORDS = {Multicast, Multimedia} }

This paper proposes a cellular system that uses a two-tier cellular scheme, with macrocells and microcells.

A channel assignment strategy, which tries to allocate “slow” users to the low tier (microcells) and “fast” users to the high tier (macrocells), is proposed: in this way, low mobility users undergo handovers at microcell boundaries, and high mobility users undergo handovers at macrocell boundaries.

An example in literature is given by a 2 level hierarchical architecture in which an overlaying macrocell provides a group of overflow channels utilized when a microcell, which covers a densely populated area, is not able to accommodate a new call, or a handover from another microcell. The macrocell has the higher hierarchical position, meaning that it can receive handover requests from microcells, lower in the hierarchy, as well as from other macrocells. On the contrary, a call served by the macrocell cannot handover to a microcell. This paper proposes a reversible hierarchical scheme characterized by the presence of handover attempts from macrocells to microcells. The scheme is conceived so that the microcells are given the majority of the traffic load as they are able to operate with very high capacity, while the macrocells, having lower channel utilization, can better carry out their support task. An analytical study is carried out showing that the system performance can be improved, at the expense of relatively little increase of network control overhead, when compared with the classical, i.e. nonreversible hierarchical scheme}, NOTE = {ISBN 0-8186-7293-5} }
