	abstract = {We developed a Web-based Adaptive Management System (WAMS) within a research project, called "SMART VINEYARD", which was funded by the Swiss Federal Commission for Technology and Innovation (Project 11307.1 PFES-ES). Goal of the project was to address the challenge of proposing a decision support system to provide real-time forecast of the life stages of - Scaphoideus titanus, vector of flavescence dor{\'e}e. The benefit of using the WAMS is to decide the timing of insecticide application and the planning of in-field monitoring tasks.},

	abstract = {An increased number of vehicular applications and services requires accurate distance measurements. Due to specific properties of radio waves propagation, it may not be effective to use ranging systems designed for other environments inside tunnels. In this paper we analysed the characteristics of time of flight based ranging for in-tunnel applications. Based on our analysis, we designed a vehicle localization system showing that the time of flight approach is a suitable, accurate and cost effective solution for this purpose. We designed and validated our solution by performing real experiments in a tunnel located in Lugano, Switzerland.},

	abstract = {Self-adaptivity is the capability of a system to adapt itself dynamically to achieve its goals. Self-adaptive systems will be widely used in the future both to efficiently use system resources and to ease the management of complex systems. The frameworks for self-adaptivity developed so far usually concentrate either on self-adaptive software or on self-adaptive hardware, but not both. In this paper, we propose a model of self-adaptive systems and we describe how to manage self-adaptivity at all levels (both hardware and software) by means of a decentralized control algorithm. The key advantage of decentralized control is in the simplicity of the local controllers. Simulation results are provided to show the main characteristics of the model and to discuss it.},

Such an environment will become increasingly relevant in multinational universities and companies, and it has brought a number of challenges to existing e-learning technologies. COOPER is an ongoing project that focuses on developing and testing such a collaborative and project-centred leaning environment. This paper proposes a COOPER framework and shows its approaches to address the various research challenges.},
