DC4CD
2017
In this article, we present Distributed Computing for Constrained Devices (DC4CD), a novel software architecture that supports symbolic distributed computing on wireless sensor networks. DC4CD integrates the functionalities of a high-level symbolic interpreter, a compiler, and an operating system, and includes networking abstractions to exchange high-level symbolic code among peer devices. Contrarily to other architectures proposed in the literature, DC4CD allows for changes at runtime, even on deployed nodes of both application and system code. Experimental results show that DC4CD is more efficient in terms of memory usage than existing architectures, with which it also compares well in te…
An Evaluation of HCI and CMC in Information Systems within Highly Crowded Large Events
2013
Pervasive systems are composed of a large variety of networked smart devices that supposedly enrich the environment they are deployed in. The access to services provided by a pervasive system should be as natural and “unconscious” as possible. In a large number of cases, the available interaction modality seems to be more oriented towards showing off technological wonders rather than to the actual usability of the interface. In this paper we evaluate and compare two different versions of an information provision system deployed in two editions of a large fair. In particular, we will focus on the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer-Mediated-Communication (CMC) points of view. The a…
Terrorismo e sistema penale: realtà, prospettive, limiti - Presentazione del corso
2017
Il testo riproduce la relazione introduttiva al VII Corso “Giuliano Vassalli” per dottorandi, svoltosi a Noto nel 2016, integrandola con i riferimenti alla struttura dell’inziativa e ai temi a rontati nel corso dei lavori e poi oggetto dei contributi di seguito pubblicati.
Il Progetto DIGIT.IISG e le attività culturali dell'Istituto Italiano di Studi Germanici
2020
In this article I present the Digit.IISG project, that is aimed to convert in a digital form all materials inherent to cultural events which happened in the Italian Institute for german studies since its foundation (1932).
Semantica dello spazio, del movimento e della maniera
2020
Il volume riunisce una serie di lavori condotti all'interno dei più aggiornati approcci teorici sulla semantica dello spazio del movimento e della maniera. Oltre a focalizzare e a porre in una nuova luce le questioni tradizionali relative al verbo, il volume esplora la possibilità che a veicolare la semantica spaziale o quella della maniera siano anche strutture nominali.
Punti fermi e divagazioni nell’analisi dell’espressione linguistica del movimento e della maniera
2020
The article takes stock of the main issues concerning the studies on the linguistic coding of space, movement and manner and introduces the papers in the volume.
La consacrazione dell’11 settembre: Here is New York. A Democracy of Photographs
2012
L’attacco alle Twin Towers dell’11 settembre è stato un evento che ha segnato tutto il mondo ma in modo particolare i cittadini di New York, colpiti in prima persona in uno dei simboli della città. La mostra Here is New York. A Democracy of Photographs è stata una delle risposte per superare il trauma causato da questo evento, per prenderne coscienza senza rimozione ma affermando la volontà di tutti gli abitanti di New York di non cedere al terrore: la mostra collettiva delle immagini fotografiche dell’11 settembre è stato il rito collettivo della città, l’affermazione della solidarietà e della capacità non soccombere all’attacco.
The Italian version of the Thinking About Life Experiences Questionnaire and its relationship with gender, age, and life events on Facebook
2020
The present study provided a cross-cultural validation of the Thinking About Life Experiences Scale-revised (TALE-R) in an Italian sample of Facebook users (n = 492; female = 378; male = 114; mean age 26.1) to test for replication and universality of the TALE-R three-factor model. Furthermore, it explored the interrelations among gender, age, the scores at the TALE-R and the frequency of posting textual/visual information about individuals' life events on Facebook. Results at exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis gave empirical support to both of a tripartite model for the functions of autobiographical memory (i.e., directive-behavior, social-bonding, and self-continuity) and measure…
Cognitive vulnerability to depressive symptoms in children: the protective role of self-efficacy beliefs in a multi-wave longitudinal study.
2014
The current multi-wave longitudinal study on childhood examined the role that social and academic self-efficacy beliefs and cognitive vulnerabilities play in predicting depressive symptoms in response to elevations in idiographic stressors. Children (N = 554; males: 51.4 %) attending second and third grade completed measures of depressive symptoms, negative cognitive styles, negative life events, and academic and social self-efficacy beliefs at four time-points over 6 months. Results showed that high levels of academic and social self-efficacy beliefs predicted lower levels of depressive symptoms, whereas negative cognitive styles about consequences predicted higher depression. Furthermore,…
Iterated Conditionals, Trivalent Logics, and Conditional Random Quantities
2022
We consider some notions of iterated conditionals by checking the validity of some desirable basic logical and probabilistic properties, which are valid for simple conditionals. We consider de Finetti’s notion of conditional as a three-valued object and as a conditional random quantity in the betting framework. We recall the notions of conjunction and disjunction among conditionals in selected trivalent logics. Then, we analyze the two notions of iterated conditional introduced by Calabrese and de Finetti, respectively. We show that the compound probability theorem and other basic properties are not preserved by these objects, by also computing some probability propagation rules. Then, for …
