The recent switch-off of the analog TV freed the White Space Communication (WSC) frequency bands which can be now allocated to other services. A possible utilization can be in the maritime environment to provide vessels with a broadband communication channel for increased security and other transportation applications. Such a channel can also be exploited to make ranging measurement between vessels...
Wireless in shop-floors is a bet: it outlines the possibility of making automation more flexible and to simplify plant reconfiguration. However, the specific context subtends several challenging requirements, which the available off-the-shelf solutions are not 100%-ready to cope with. By the way, the potential benefits of wireless for automation are so significant that it is worth investigating novel...
Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) are ad hoc networks aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of transportation in the near future. Despite the availability of results from field trials, simulations still play an unequalled role in the comprehensive understanding of complex and crowded VANET scenarios. Even more, VANET simulations are typically computationally intensive problems and lend themselves...
Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular for the provisioning of computing resources, in particular, through scientific tools that perform modeling or simulations. Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) are mobile ad hoc networks which are meant to support primarily safety warnings and to manage challenging conditions to improve our transportation experience. This is a challenging context where...
In the last years, a huge effort has been devoted to the improvement of simulation tools for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). However, one gap still needs to be filled: tools supporting the precise comprehension of the achieved numerical results, are not available yet; in fact, simulation platforms usually lead to quantitative figures which can be investigated only by statistics. Conversely, the...
Recently a strong research effort has been spent on Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks to evaluate, also by simulations, the effectiveness of protocol solutions. The difficulties lie not only in the definition of realistic simulation environments (including mobility, propagation effects and large number of nodes), but also in the precise comprehension of the results achieved. In fact the outputs hardly allow...
