Collective Reasoning over Shared Concepts for the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily
2013
In this chapter, collective intelligence principles are applied in the context of the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (ALS - Atlante Linguistico Siciliano), an interdisciplinary research focusing on the study of the Italian language as it is spoken in Sicily, and its correlation with the Sicilian dialect and other regional varieties spoken in Sicily. The project has been developed over the past two decades and includes a complex information system supporting linguistic research; recently it has grown to allow research scientists to cooperate in an integrated environment to produce significant scientific advances in the field of ethnologic and sociolinguistic research. An interoperable infrastruc…
Biologically Inspired Hardware: Status and Perspectives (Invited Talk)
2012
Biologically Inspired Computing places its emphasis on robustness, adaptability, and emergent organization considering the interaction of many processes. Bio-inspired algorithms exhibit strength and flexibility in poorly defined or time-variable tasks, as well as when the global behaviour is achieved by simple interacting of species or agents. The above philosophy links various disciplines such as artificial and computationally intelligence, evolutionary computation, bio-robotics, agent-based systems, and Digital Ecosystems. In this paper, the main branches of bio-inspired computing are briefly discussed. Successively, the impact of the bioinspired paradigm on innovative hardware structures…

Predictors of risk of learning disabilities
2012
Involves all the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are presumed to be precursors of the development of conventional forms of reading and writing (Whitehurst and Lonigan, 1998). It been traced a continuity of development between the first emergent literacy skills, starting from kindergarten, and early reading skills (Phillips BM et al). Children who have difficulty in the early stages of learning to read is very likely continue to present both in later school years further failures in this area (Cornoldi,Tressoldi, 2007) triggered a negative spiral and problematic process (Tressoldi e Vio, 1996). There are numerous empirical confirmation of the importance of early identification of diffic…
In rete la cucina è politica. Alcuni modelli di analisi e uno studio di caso.
2013
Gastronauti e chowhounds, ghiottoni, gourmand e gourmet, in una parola foodies: l’attuale megatrend culinario deve molto alle pratiche di socializzazione su Internet. Di cibo, in rete, si comincia a scrivere fin da subito (i board di Chowhound, per esempio, aprono i battenti già nel 97), la qual cosa dice anche molto su quanto la “grande conversazione” sia debitrice del discorso gastronomico. Il cibo e le chiacchere su Internet si presentano, infatti, come intrinsecamente legati, classico binomio inscindibile. In tutto il mondo, blogger e storyteller culinari diventano, pertanto, autori di culto, in grado di generare schiere di fedeli lettori pronti a seguire il proprio beniamino ovunque, s…
Representing social intelligence: An agent-based modeling application
2017
Abstract Intelligent systems are composed of autonomous components that interact each others, with and through the environment, in order to give intelligent support for reaching specific objectives. In such kind of systems the environment is an active part of the system itself and provides input for runtime changing and adaptation. Modeling and representing systems like this is a hard task. In this paper we propose a biologically inspired approach that combined with the use of Agent-Based Modeling allows to create a means for analyzing emergent needs of the system at runtime and converting them into useful intelligent services to be provided. The experiment proposed for validating and illus…
Bhaskar and Bunge on Social Emergence
2009
This article discusses the theories of social emergence developed by Roy Bhaskar and Mario Bunge. Bhaskar's concept of emergent causal power is shown to be ambiguous, and some of the difficulties of his depth-relational concept of social emergence are examined. It is argued that Bunge's systemic concept of emergent property is not only different, but also clearer and more consistent than Bhaskar's concept of emergent causal power. Despite its clarity and consistency, Bunge's definition of the concept of emergent property is shown to be too broad and analytically imprecise for the purposes of an emergentist social ontology. It is argued that Bunge's systemic account of social emergence can b…
