The synthesis of information deriving from complex networks is a topic receiving increasing relevance in ecology and environmental sciences. In particular, the aggregation of multilayer networks, that is, network structures formed by multiple interacting networks (the layers), constitutes a fast-...

Zero-emission buses (ZEBs) currently face the challenge of switching from small-scale implementation to large-scale deployment. This stage is affected by multiple decision-making factors that either hinder or enable the ZEB adoption, also depending on local contexts and stakeholder perspectives....

We study expansion and flooding in evolving graphs, when nodes and edges are continuously created and removed. We consider a model with Poisson node inter-arrival and exponential node survival times. Upon joining the network, a node connects to d = O(1) random nodes, while an edge disappears...

Fog Computing is a widely adopted paradigm that allows distributing the computation in a geographic area. This makes it possible to implement time-critical applications and opens the study to a series of solutions that permit smartly organizing the traffic among a set of fog nodes, which constitute...

As companies store, process, and analyse bigger and bigger volumes of highly heterogeneous data, novel research and technological challenges are emerging. Traditional and rigid data integration and processing techniques become inadequate for a new class of data-intensive applications. There is a...

Goal Recognition is the task of discerning the intended goal that an agent aims to achieve, given a set of goal hypotheses, a domain model, and a sequence of observations (i.e., a sample of the plan executed in the environment). Existing approaches assume that goal hypotheses comprise a single...

Suitable representations of dynamical systems can simplify their analysis and control. On this line of thought, this article aims to answer the following question: Can a transformation of the generalized coordinates under which the actuators directly perform work on a subset of the configuration...

The problem of the definition of control actions to contain epidemic diseases is crucial in case of high infectivity, dangerous or fatal consequences, large inhabited areas involved. Unfortunately, during the last three years, the COVID-19 pandemic has represented a critical situation all over the...

In the last 3 years, the entire world has been facing the sanitary emergency due to the SARS-CoV2; it has been stressed the mutual interdependence of the human populations, as well as the strong impact of specific conditions, such as age, work, habits, on the disease spread among subgroups of a...

Dissezionare corpi è una pratica comune a molte culture. Ma nella “medicina dei big data” l’arte di fare a pezzi il corpo umano è diventata una vera e propria ossessione. Le moderne biotecnologie ci permettono infatti di vedere e misurare i componenti molecolari di ogni singola cellula. Ma come...
