Sixth generation will exploit satellite, aerial, and terrestrial platforms jointly to improve radio access capability and unlock the support of on-demand edge cloud services in three-dimensional (3D) space, by incorporating mobile edge computing (MEC) functionalities on aerial platforms and low-...

The binary similarity problem consists in determining if two functions are similar considering only their compiled form. Advanced techniques for binary similarity recently gained momentum as they can be applied in several fields, such as copyright disputes, malware analysis, vulnerability detection...

We study how an opt-in regime of privacy regulation, which limits the scope for online price discrimination, affects product quality and consumer surplus. When consumers decide to share personal data, they benefit from the complementarity between information and quality, but they pay personalized...

Consider the problem of planning collision-free motions for a robot that is assigned a soft task constraint, i.e., a desired path in task space with an associated error tolerance. To this end, we propose an opportunistic planning strategy in which two subplanners take turns in generating motions....

We introduce a class of positive definite preconditioners for the solution of large symmetric indefinite linear systems or sequences of such systems, in optimization frameworks. The preconditioners are iteratively constructed by collecting information on a reduced eigenspace of the indefinite...

In this work, we deal with Truncated Newton methods for solving large scale (possibly nonconvex) unconstrained optimization problems. In particular,we consider the use of amodified Bunch and Kaufman factorization for solving the Newton equation, at each (outer) iteration of the method. The Bunch...

We consider an iterative computation of negative curvature directions, in large-scale unconstrained optimization frameworks, needed for ensuring the convergence toward stationary pointswhich satisfy second-order necessary optimality conditions. We show that to the latter purpose, we can fruitfully...

The heterogeneity of the Higher Education (HE) Institutions is one of the main critical issues in the assessment of their performance. This paper adopts a multi-level and multi-dimensional perspective, combining national (macro) and institution (micro) level data, and measuring both research and...

In the last years, several Italian legislative interventions concerning the local public transport (LPT) sector aimed at inducing Local Authorities to re-programming the current services by changing the existing transport modes in favor of less expensive ones, while preserving passengers mobility....
