    Abstract: A method for controlling a heating/cooling system located at a home of a user. For a population of users, occurrences of occupancy-related events occurring in the users' homes are detected. Then, occurrences of such occupancy-related events in different timeslots are counted separately for each user of the population. The counts of the various users are then merged and a topic model is applied thereto, to provide probabilities that latent habits give raise to certain sequences of occupancy-related events and proportions of each habit in the home occupancy routine of each user of the population. Thereby, a reliable forecast of the home occupancy routine of each user of the population may be provided. That allows setting the heating/cooling system of each user of the population to fit such reliable forecast, minimizing energy waste and/or maximizing user's comfort.

    Abstract: A method is proposed for arranging, in a ride sharing system (100) providing a ride sharing service, ride sharing proposals (RSP) to users of the ride sharing service. The method comprises the following steps: determining candidate users groups each one comprising users potentially matching to share a ride; defining (115) a cost function (C) comprising, for each candidate users group, at least one term indicative of an impact on the users of the ride sharing service in case the ride sharing takes place among candidate users group, and at least one weighting coefficient (cu, ce, ct, cr) each one associated with a respective one of said at least one term; minimizing (125) the cost function (C) thereby obtaining ride sharing proposals (RSP) for the users; sending the ride sharing proposals (RSP) to the respective users; receiving by the users acceptance feedbacks indicative of acceptance or rejection of the ride sharing proposals, and dynamically varying (120, 200) a value of said at least one weighting coefficient (cu, ce, ct, cr) according to an acceptance rate of the ride sharing proposals (RSP) by the users.

    Abstract: A system for managing house appliances supplied through a power grid is provided. Each house appliance operates according to at least one corresponding operative mode. Each operative mode comprises a sequence of operative phases. The system comprises at least one control unit interfaced with the house appliances for exchanging data. The at least one control unit collects power profile data comprising timing and electric power consumption data of each operative phase of each operative mode of the house appliances; generates a time schedule of the house appliances operations by distributing in time the execution of the operative phases thereof such that total power consumption of house appliances is kept under a maximum power threshold of the power grid; and controls the operation of the appliances based on the time schedule. The at least one control unit is configured to generate the time schedule by exploiting a Particle Swarm Optimization approach.

    Abstract: A method for sharing network resources made accessible by plural access gateways (AG). An AG requester sends a resource request to neighbouring AGs as potential helpers. Each potential helper decides whether to cooperate with the requester based on a reputation score calculated by the potential helper for the requester. The reputation score calculated by each potential helper for the requester is indicative of the requester's behaviour in response to past resource requests received from that potential helper. If the potential helper decides to cooperate, it sends a resource offer to the requester. The requester then selects its helper as the potential helper which sent the best offer, and sets up a resource sharing session with the helper. The requester then updates the reputations scores of a helper and potential helpers based on the disposition to cooperate and reliability they exhibited.
