Demartini, "An immersive visualization framework for monitoring, simulating and controlling smart street lighting networks" to apper in Proc. 5th International ICST Conference on Simulation Tools and Techniques (SIMUTOOLS2012), Desenzano (Italy) March 19-23, 2012.
2. F. Lamberti, A. Sanna, E. Henao, C. Demartini, "LITES: Illuminazione stradale intelligente a LED per il risparmio energetico", Proc. of the Smart Tech & Smart Innovation Conference (AICA2011), Torino (IT) November 15-17, 2011, pp. 1-10. The aim of this paper was to disseminate the LITES solution at the national level in the context of a energy-related event. The paper has been presented in a session on energy, smart grid, smart building, and power saving.
3. F. Lamberti, A. Sanna, E. Henao, "Web-based 3D visualization for intelligent street lighting", Proc. of 16th ACM International Conference on 3D Web Technology (WEB3D2011), Paris (France) 20-22 June, 2011, pp. 151-154. In this paper, the software framework exploiting web and virtual reality technologies developed to remotely manage the network of LED-based smart luminaries of the LITES project is presented.
4. C. Celozzi, F. Lamberti, G. Paravati, A. Sanna, "Interacting with displays through mobile device cameras using scale-invariant features matching", in Proc. of the 29th IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE2011), Las Vegas (NV) January 9-12, 2011, pp. 123-124, ISBN: 9781424443161, DOI: 10.1109/ICCE.2011.5722496. In this paper, an alternative man-machine interface based on consumer devices (e.g., mobile phones with embedded cameras) is presented to interact with the computer-generated environment developed for the management software of the LITES project.
5. C. Celozzi, F. Lamberti, G. Paravati, A. Sanna, "Controlling generic visualization environments using handheld devices and natural feature tracking," Accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, pp. 1-9, ISSN: 0098-3063. This work is an extended version of the paper presented at ICCE2011. It analyzes the possibilities offered by recent mobile tecnologies and image processing methods for controlling virtual environments. In particular, performances with 3D scenarios created for monitoring and simulating LITES pilot sites are assessed.

   Challenges and innovations, Macias E., Suarez A., IGI Global (USA), 2011, pp. 154-180. In this work, approaches for allowing limited-resource devices to access computationally intensive applications running on remote machines are discussed. The graphics interface of the LITES management software is considered as a testbed, as the rendering in real time of complex 3D models with tens to hundreds of lights is out of reach for today's handheld
   equipments.
