Hydro-Tech, an integrated decision support system for sustainable irrigation management: (I) main algorithms and field testing
Abstract: In the framework of a specific project supported by the EC-ERDF programme in the Apulia Region (Italy), a local consortium of private ICT companies and Research institutions is currently developing and testing a Decision Support System called ‘HydroTech’ (HT-DSS), which aims to integrate the latest scientific knowledge on crop water requirements and irrigation scheduling with […]
An auction based agency for demand side management system: An evaluation
Abstract: Aim of this work is to present a model of an intelligent short term demand side management system (DSM) based on a distributed measurement and management data system. The system is designed to improve the profitability of modern self-production energy plants reducing the power consumption and maintaining the same comfort level for users. The DSM […]
Document Image Retrieval by Layout Analysis
Abstract: A new layout-based document image retrieval system is presented in this paper. The system is specifically designed for commercial form retrieval and uses mathematical morphology to extract structural components from the document image. Document layout description is performed by the Radon Transform whereas Dynamic Time Warping is used for matching. The experimental results have […]
Layout-Based Document-Retrieval System by Radon Transform Using Dynamic Time Warping
Abstract: In the context of sustainability of document management technologies, this paper presents a new system for layout-based document retrieval specifically designed for commercial form retrieval. The system first uses a technique based on mathematical morphology to extract grid-based structural components from the document image. Successively, Radon Transform is used for document layout description. A document […]
A Layout-Analysis Based System for Document Image Retrieval
Abstract: This paper presents new system for document image retrieval, based on layout-analysis. The system, that is well suited for commercial form retrieval, uses Radon Transform for layout description and Dynamic Time Warping for document image matching. The experimental results, that were conducted using real and simulated data sets, demonstrate the proposed approach is effective and […]
Improving Sustainability of Energy Production: Design of a Demand Side Management System Using an Auction Model
Abstract: This work presents an intelligent demand side management (DSM) system modeled according to an auction based multi-agent system (MAS). The system is designed to improve the sustainability of energy self-production systems thanks to energy saving features while guaranteeing the maintenance of the user’s desired comfort level. The proposed system is composed of a sensor network […]

Machine to Machine (M2M) Open Data System for Business Intelligence in Products Massive Distribution oriented on Big Data
Abstract: In this work we present useful Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) suitable for clustering, classification, and sales predictions of the “Grande Distribuzione Organizzata” GDO (major multiples/large-scale retail channel, chain store/mass distribution) products. This Open Data Machine to Machine (M2M) system combines all products, provided both from an open scenario and from a proprietary database, in […]
Face Recognition System on Mobile Device based on Web Service approach
Abstract: This paper proposes a new application for face recognition task on mobile device. The originality of the work is based on the web service, able to store the normalized distances in the database, to verify the correct building of the classifier’s model and to match the test normalized distances with the training normalized distances […]
