    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 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 system for managing network alarms generated by element manager modules responsive to corresponding faults/malfunctioning affecting network nodes or links of a telecommunication network is provided. The system may include an alarm management platform for gathering network alarms and generating a first set of network alarms comprising at least a subset of the gathered network alarms; a network operator unit arranging the network alarms into a network alarm table, and managing the faults/malfunctioning affecting the network nodes or links corresponding to the network alarms; an alarm prediction module receiving from the alarm management platform an alarm duration prediction request about a predicted duration of a selected network alarm and alarm data regarding the selected network alarm and generating an alarm duration prediction about the predicted duration by processing alarm data regarding the selected network alarm through a first machine learning algorithm trained with alarm data regarding past network alarms.

    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: Estimating energy generated by a solar system in a predetermined geographic area comprises, at each predetermined time instant: retrieving measured values of at least one weather parameter and of solar irradiance in the geographic area, the values related to a time slot before the predetermined time instant; performing auto-regression analysis of the measured values; estimating, based on the auto-regression analysis, a relationship between the at least one weather parameter and the solar irradiance; retrieving forecasted values of the at least one weather parameter in the geographic area, the forecasted values being forecasted for a second time slot after the predetermined time instant; performing regression analysis of the relationship between the at least one weather parameter and the solar irradiance of the forecasted values; forecasting solar irradiance in the second time slot based on the regression analysis, and estimating energy generated by the solar system in the second time slot.
