This paper discusses the requirements, design and operational aspects of the Unmanned Marine Vehicles (UMVs), namely the Romeo Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) and the Charlie Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), developed at CNR-ISSIA, Genova, Italy for robotics research and scientific applications, pointing out the synergies between the development of underwater and surface unmanned vehicles.

Web server log files are a very valuable source of forensic data for intrusion detection and overall network monitoring. Nevertheless, they are hard to integrate in a central system, especially in a real-time log monitoring infrastructure. In this document, we focus on Microsoft’s Internet Information Server (IIS) log files and how to forward them to a central log repository. We describe the in...

With the application of automation, a horse jump can be controlled with the push of a button, or even a remote control. This enables the rider to adjust the jump to suit their needs while still on their horse. The objective of this work is to design and build a wireless remote motor controller which will be applied to a prototype horse jump. The user will be able to control the forward and reve...

“Bufferbloat” is the growth in buffer size that has led Internet delays to occasionally exceed the light propagation delay from the Earth to the Moon. Manufacturers have built in large buffers to prevent losses on Wi-Fi, cable and ADSL links. But the combination of some links’ limited bandwidth with TCP’s tendency to saturate that bandwidth results in excessive queuing delays. In response, new ...

The Mapping, Charting and Geodesy Branch of the Naval Research Laboratory at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. is conducting a multi-year program for the development of unmanned, untethered sensor systems for the collection of tactical oceanographic data in littoral regions. The primary function of this program is the development of immediate force-multiplying survey capabilities for the colle...
