    A Federated Cloud of Things for Emergency Management

    No full text
    La ricerca mostrata di seguito mira alla gestione delle emergenze attraverso un'architettura basata sul Federated Cloud of Things dove le risorse dei cloud sono di computing, storage, networking e oggetti fisici come sensori e attuatori, sia reali, sia virtuali. Tali risorse, virtualizzate, sono connesse in una infrastruttura a supporto della gestione delle emergenze. Infatti, come emerge da report e lavori di ricerca, occorre notare il fatto che, nei recenti anni, le emergenze come alluvioni, epidemie e terremoti, oltre che emergenze artificiali come atti di terrorismo, incidenti ferroviari, incidenti nucleari hanno interessato diverse aree sulla terra causando perdite di vite, feriti e danni economici dei paesi. In questi scenari un sistema efficiente di gestione delle emergenze e una risposta pronta quando un'emergenza si verifica, sono necessari al fine di salvare vite umane e limitare i danni al verificarsi di un'emergenza. A tal fine il monitoraggio degli eventi e delle persone è un'attività fondamentale; tale attività è inoltre necessaria per decidere di compiere azioni durante le emergenze come, ad esempio, portare le persone in una situazione sicura. Ciò conduce alla necessità di avere sensori e attuatori che permettono a un sistema di Emergency Management di gestire opportunamente l'emergenza.S Inoltre, dato il numero di organizzazioni coinvolte nell'emergenza, emergono alcuni problemi riguardanti le capacità di collaborazione: spesso le organizzazioni usano sistemi legacy e le comunicazioni con altri sistemi possono essere difficili, inoltre spesso non è consentito l'accesso pieno ai sistemi delle organizzazioni ostacolando quindi la condivisione di risorse e/o dati. Tenendo conto di questi aspetti che interessano le emergenze, questa ricerca propone un framework che fornisce un infrastruttura per gli Emergency Management System (EMS)

    Application of SWSAL in Semantic Annotation of RESTful Web Services

    Nowadays web services have become one of the main technologies in the development of web applications. According to that providers now offer an increasing number of capabilities as web services. Furthermore, in the recent years, such deployment trend has seen the success of REST architecture and, consequently, the proliferation of RESTful web services. This work focuses on the semantic description of RESTful web services. It shows how the SWSAL language, already used profitably to semantically annotate SOAP web services, can be used to semantically describe a web service compliant with the REST principles. The work establishes the bases for the application of SWSAL and its related researches to the RESTful web service area

    A semantic-based federated cloud system for emergency response

    No full text
    Cloud federation can be described through the concept of collaboration, where each organization has its own cloud(s) that deals with a different and independent domain but needs to work together with other organizations in order to fulfill a specific shared objective. According to this perspective, the federation is a collection of interacting clouds that collaborate with one another through the instantiation and management of shared subsets of resources (computation and storage resources as well as sensors and actuators). This idea could be profitably used in those scenarios in which different organizations have to share several resources (e.g., emergency response or disaster management scenario). On the other hand, when different independent organizations share their resources, several issues arise. One of them is related to interoperability problems. As a consequence, this work also introduces a framework for an ontology-based resource life cycle management and provisioning in a federated cloud infrastructure. Therefore, The main contributions of this work consists of redesigning a cloud infrastructure architecture from the ground up, leveraging Semantic Web and Semantic Web Service Technologies, and natively supporting a federated provisioning of any kind of resource. This paper exploits, as a motivating scenario, a flood emergency response system

    Earthquake Emergencies Management by Means of Semantic-Based Internet of Things

    No full text
    Semantic technologies can play a key role in representing, storing, interconnecting, searching, and organizing information generated/consumed by things. In order to evaluate its feasibility, this paper presents a set of reasoning mechanisms based on an IoT ontology to be applied in an emergency management scenario. The scenario presented in this paper consists in the earthquake emergency management

    Cultura e sociedade em Gilberto Freyre

    No full text
    RESUMO O autor se propõe identificar as matrizes teóricas do pensamento de Gilberto Freyre. Comenta a influência de Herbert Spencer, Oliveira Lima e Franz Boas – registrada pelo próprio Gilberto Freyre – e detém-se na análise das marcas provenientes do contato daquele sociólogo com a chamada Escola de Chicago. Para o autor, a influência de Robert E. Park e William I. Thomas é decisiva na formação da abordagem pessoal de Gilberto Freyre. O autor detém-se, também, na identificação das afinidades de Gilberto Freyre com as abordagens de Max Weber, George Simmel e a chamada “Escola dos Annales”. ABSTRACT Culture and society in Gilberto Freyre. v. 19, n. 2, p. 311-326, jul./dez. 1991 The author proposes to identify the thoeretical origins of Gilberto Freyre’s thinking. He comments on the influence of Herbert Spencer, Oliveira Lima and Franz Boas – registred by Gilberto Freyre himself – and analyses in greater detail the influence originating in Freyre’s contact with the “Chicago School”. For the author, the influence of Robert E. Park and William I. Thomas is decisive in forming the personal approach of Gilberto Freyre. The author also considers Freyre’s rapport with the approaches of Max Weber, George Simmel and the so-called “School of the Annales”. RESUMÉ Culture et société vues par Gilberto Freyre. v. 19, n. 2, p. 311-326, jul./dez. 1991 L’auteur se propose tout d’abord d’identifier les matrices théoriques de la pensée de Gilberto Freyre. Dans ce but, il sougline l’influence de Herbert Spencer, de Oliveira Lima et de Franz Boas – reconnue para Gilberto Freyre lui-même – et analyse les marques laissées par ses contacts avec “L’École de Chicago”. Selon l’auteur, l’influence de Robert E. Park et de William I. Thomas a été fondalementale pour la formation de Gilberto Freyre. Le travail se ferme en montrant l’identification des idées de Gilberto Freyre avec celles de Max Weber, de Georg Simmel et de “l’Ecole des Annales”
