ARVA antennas are usually simple coil antennas tuned at 457 KHz. Such a low frequency ensures robust signal detection even in extremely harsh conditions, i.e. when the transmitter is buried under meters of snow and debris. Till now, the form factor has been one of the most critical design constraint of such antennas, since they are supposed to fit into handheld devices. However, in the near future, ARVA receivers could be mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) flying over the avalanche areas to speed up the search for victims. In this context, new-generation and more sensitive antennas are needed, which require considerable design efforts. Unfortunately, the measurement systems commonly used to characterize radio frequency (RF) or microwave antennas can be hardly used to this purpose, due to the low operating frequency and the short range of ARVA devices. To overcome these problems, a measurement procedure able to characterize the equivalent circuit parameters as well as the Q-factor of antennas for avalanche beacons has been developed, and finally validated experimentally by means of a Virtual Instrument implemented in LabVIEW. The results obtained using two different antennas confirm that the proposed approach can provide accurate results, once the main systematic contributions are estimated and compensated.","PeriodicalId":201479,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop on Measurement and Networking (M&N)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128012995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each node of the DMS has computational and communicative capabilities, and can be equipped by sensors and measurement instruments. Therefore, it can be assumed as Smart Object (SO). The availability of mobile SO (MSO) (cars, smartphones, drones) is taken into consideration in the research to investigate about its effect on the synchronization task of the DMS. The changing topology of the network makes difficult the application of traditional synchronization techniques based on a hierarchical approach. The consensus technique is experimented in the case of a MSO moving in a wireless network. Numerical tests assess the influence of the speed of the MSO on the synchronization accuracy and the time interval required to synchronize all the SOs.","PeriodicalId":201479,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop on Measurement and Networking (M&N)","volume":"165 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133791343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designing an itinerary is, therefore, a complex task because many variables need to be considered. It should be emphasized that each route has to change depending on the user's characteristics and needs. In this paper, we introduce a Context Aware approach that can gather content and services in a context and present them according to user typology. The whole system is adaptive by being able to record context changes through the paradigm of the internet of things. A case study applied to the Amalfi Coast in Southern Italy was conducted as an experimental campaign.","PeriodicalId":201479,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop on Measurement and Networking (M&N)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115196188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nowadays, they are entitled to drive innovation and competition in different fields such as agriculture, building design and automation, energy, healthcare, transportation and, above all, industrial manufacturing. In fact, CPS technology is going to transform the way people interact with engineered systems — just as the Internet has transformed the way people interact with information. Among CPS technologies, measurement and networking ones play a fundamental role, being enrolled as the natural bridge between the cyber and physical components of a CPS. A number of interconnected sensors and transducers are claimed to give inner and outer, local measurement data that, once processed through suitable algorithms and analytics, have to provide reliable information about the effectiveness of the whole CPS and its interaction with the external world, as well as its health status for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. So, great attention has to be paid to network models and architectures, to sensor forms and functions, in order to make CPSs properly integrate the continuous and the discrete, compounded by the uncertainty of open environments. The paper aims at opening a preliminary discussion on the role and features of measurement and networking technologies in CPS application fields, with special regard to industrial manufacturing, within a scientific community traditionally close to instrumentation and measurement (IM) issues, in order to stimulate and encourage useful and fruitful cross-fertilization. After some details concerning the general structure of a CPS, its typical architectural model and main features, a special focus is put on CPSs involved in industrial manufacturing along with measurement and networking facets. Some considerations about major measurement challenges that the CPS self-awareness feature poses in maintenance and troubleshooting operations are then drawn. Concluding remarks are finally reported.","PeriodicalId":201479,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop on Measurement and Networking (M&N)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115882821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The market offers several measurement solutions. The most widely adopted are software network emulators and among them surely free or open-source emulators are the most used especially in research contexts. Unfortunately, software network emulators are not distributed with technical support and certified performance information. Certified information, about the ability of these software to accurately reproduce the wanted network conditions, is very important to validate the results obtained during design activity and test campaigns that involve them. In this paper, an experimental analysis of the ability of two widely used network emulators to emulate several imposed network conditions in different test set-ups is carried out. In particular, we have focused the attention on analyzing the fidelity in the generation of both static and random packet delays under different operating conditions. Obtained results confirm that imposed conditions are not equally reproduced and particular attention has to be paid in specific situations, as very low static delay imposed conditions.","PeriodicalId":201479,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Workshop on Measurement and Networking (M&N)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127583242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
