miMic

2016

miMic, a sonic analogue of paper and pencil is proposed: An augmented microphone for vocal and gestural sonic sketching. Vocalizations are classified and interpreted as instances of sound models, which the user can play with by vocal and gestural control. The physical device is based on a modified microphone, with embedded inertial sensors and buttons. Sound models can be selected by vocal imitations that are automatically classified, and each model is mapped to vocal and gestural features for real-time control. With miMic, the sound designer can explore a vast sonic space and quickly produce expressive sonic sketches, which may be turned into sound prototypes by further adjustment of model…

Web API development and integration for microservice functionality in web applications

2016

Pro gradu -työssä mallinnetaan ja kehitetään mallin mukainen toteutus mikropalvelu-arkkitehtuuriin perustuvasta laajennuksesta olemassaolevaan verkkosovellukseen, joka tutkimuksen mukaan mahdollistaa verkkosovelluksen loppukäyttäjien hyödyntämisen sovelluksen jatkokehittämisessä monoliittisen arkkitehtuurin sovelluksia joustavammin. Pääasiallinen taustateoria sisältää Participative Design ja Design Science -teorioita. This paper presents a model for web application programming interface (API) that uses the microservice architecture to enable and support end-user feature development. The study follows the design-science paradigm of information systems research. Participatory design stands as…

Concilier finance et management. Un problème d'architecture organisationnelle

2009

This article has two objectives. On the one hand, it aims to explain the disturbances brought by finance to management as a problem of inconsistency or organizational architecture. On the other hand, it suggests some ways of reconciliation between finance and the other management functions. This reconciliation could be based on an evolution of the financial theory in order to be closer to the other management sciences, end on a subordination of financial performance objectives and indicators in the management of the firm

The charming open-air laboratory that the Botanical Garden of Palermo offers to visitors and experts, in the urban landscape of Palermo, natural and architectural heritage shows how Architecture, Art and Decoration coexist in a synergistic experiment.

Architecture of dissonance : a study on the strategic management process of higher education internationalization

2018

In this study I analyze the neglected notion of organizational architecture in the strategic process of internationalization in the context of higher education. I examine the internationalization process through the development and management of international master’s degree programmes and their relation to the broader strategy of one particular Finnish university. I interviewed acting coordinators and directors of the programmes regarding their view on the administrative work, as well as the structures and resources, related to the programmes. Strategy documents, internal evaluations, and statistics were also analyzed. The omission of an explicit strategy and strategic program for internat…

Conception de documents numériques : Parcours méthodologique

2009

There is a strong social demand for studies of digital document. Yet our models of society and education are struggling to integrate issues related to these types of documents. However, the subject is less than half a century old, and so it is hardly surprising that the writing and training practices are just being developed. Like the book, the digital document involves many different skills and techniques in its development. The list of jobs tends to grow steadily: ergonomists, referencing specialists, information architects, programmers, designers, integrators ... It is therefore difficult to have a global view on all this know-how and the related methodologies. This special edition seeks…

Aristocratic power exaltation between XVI and XVIII centuries in Palermo Area: psychological and symbolic aspects behind suburban villas' constructio…

2014

From ancient times, due to a very favourable climate, and the presence of many pure water sources, the “Golden Valley” surrounding the city of Palermo saw the settlement of an elaborate system of rural farms, “industrial” buildings. During the XVI century, and especially towards the XVIII century, spending some time in the countryside became a real trend for the urbanized Sicilian aristocracy. Thus, such buildings were slowly renewed into sumptuous suburban palaces to exhibit feudal family richness and power as well as to make living in the countryside more pleasant. In western Sicilian area, the architectural typology of the suburban villa is locally characterized by a mixture of the luxur…

Attacking TrustZone on devices lacking memory protection

2021

AbstractARM TrustZone offers a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) embedded into the processor cores. Some vendors offer ARM modules that do not fully comply with TrustZone specifications, which may lead to vulnerabilities in the system. In this paper, we present a DMA attack tutorial from the insecure world onto the secure world, and the design and implementation of this attack in a real insecure hardware.

Sustainable Hospital Architecture: Quality Principles for a Responsable Design

2006

The theme of sustainability in the hospital design is today a subject widely discussed in the architectural field. The functioning of the health facility, also under the point of view of physical and organizational consistency is one of the primary objectives of the national government. There is the urgency to answer adequately and responsibly for the needs of society, assuring physical and psychological comfort and putting the center of the design process the individual sanitary needs. The social transformations and the technological progress in sanitary field have considerably modified the hospital conception.
