Piattaforma a Supporto del Monitoraggio di Sistemi di Computazione Aggregata: Caso di Studio ScaFi-Web

Nel corso degli ultimi anni la miniaturizzazione delle macchine computazionali ha portato alla diffusione di dispositivi intelligenti che sono connessi alla rete internet. Sempre più spesso tali dispositivi compongono un sistema distribuito dove ogni componente collabora per raggiungere un obbiettivo comune, ad esempio una rete di videocamere permette di effettuare il controllo del traffico all'interno di un ambiente smart city. L'ingegnerizzazione di tali sistemi è intrinsecamente complessa, poiché il design del sistema è condizionato dai dettagli di basso livello, come la comunicazione e l’efficienza. Per la progettazione del coordinamento complesso di sistemi distribuiti viene utilizzata la tecnica di computazione aggregata che considera l’intero sistema come una singola macchina computazionale. ScaFi-Web è una tecnologia che permette all'interno del browser scrivere dei programmi aggregati con la possibilità di testare il loro comportamento in un simulatore. L'obiettivo generale di questa tesi è quello di estendere ScaFi-Web in modo tale che possa interfacciarsi con sistemi ibridi (in parte reali e in parti simulati). In quest'ottica, la tesi si è concentrata sulla definizione di un possibile modello per i nodi remoti con una conseguente API che permettesse un semplice interfacciamento all'applicativo già esistente (ScaFi-Web). A questo proposito, la tesi pone le basi per chiudere il gap sull'utilizzo di ScaFi-Web non solo come strumento per l'insegnamento e per la prototipazione di programmi aggregati ma anche come mezzo per effettuare monitoraggio e controllo di sistemi distribuiti concreti o anche ibridi

Herd Monitoring with Autonomous Drones: a Decentralized k-Coverage-inspired Approach

This thesis explores the innovative intersection of autonomous drones with wildlife monitoring, specifically focusing on herd monitoring through a decentralized k-coverage approach, aiming for a significant improvement in the quality and scope of ecological data collection. The work includes an in-depth analysis of drone-captured footage telemetry, enabling the reconstruction of animal dynamics and drone engagement. Reproducing this complex situation involved enhancing the existing herd behavior model and implementing it using the Alchemist simulator environment to model multiple sophisticated scenarios and conditions. The significant contribution of this research lies in adapting aggregate algorithms for the Online Multi-Object k-Coverage (OMOkC) problem to the drone-based herd tracking scenario. The focus is on adopting a hierarchical clustering technique that optimizes target definition and assignment in a distributed network of drones while observing a highly dynamic environment. Through comprehensive simulations, the thesis assesses the performance of these algorithms, exploring the impact of clustering improvements and the effect of an adaptive hierarchical clustering algorithm. The implications of this work extend beyond the immediate application to herd monitoring, suggesting a paradigm shift in how we approach biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management in the era of autonomous systems
