A Notation for Modeling Jason-Like BDI Agents
2012
The design and development of a large Multi Agent System (MAS) is a complex and difficult activity where a proper modeling notation may offer a significant contribution to the formulation of the best solution. The support provided by a specific CASE tool can significantly contribute to make the chosen approach technically valid and it is also a fundamental element of a feasible development strategy. The present work reports a UML profile and the related graphical notation for describing a MAS based on the Jason meta model. Moreover a specific CASE tool has been developed for supporting MASs design and automatic code generation. The proposed notation is shown in details using a classical exa…
La tradición clásica como referencia de vanguardia: la Antigüedad griega y romana en la obra del pintor Gregorio Prieto (1897-1992)
2019
This article analyses the impact of classical tradition on the artistic production of Gregorio Prieto (1897-1992), painter par excellence of the Generation of 1927. It will be discovered how this influence, far from becoming a conservative reference, would constitute an incentive for his entailment with the avant-garde, especially with surrealism. Although the classic trace is found with more intensity in the creations produced during his Roman years, between 1928 and 1929, when he also made important trips to Sicily and Greece, Greece and Rome would nevertheless continue to be constitutive of his aesthetic experience throughout his later and extensive career.
Inverse nonlinear design in silicon waveguides
2014
La tecnologia fotònica basada en silici és objecte d'intensa investigació tant al món acadèmic com a la indústria. Un dels seus principals atractius rau en la seua elevada compatibilitat amb tècniques ja desenvolupades per a la integració de circuits electrònics, cosa que podria reduir el seu cost. A més, el silici ofereix una gran diversitat d'efectes no lineals que poden ser aprofitats per processar senyals òptics en xips compactes a velocitats superiors als dispositius electrònics actuals. En particular, l'objectiu d'aquesta tesi ha estat dissenyar una guia integrada en una plataforma híbrida de silici i sílice per generar espectres supercontinus. Aquest projecte presentava diferents rep…
Re-think, Re-load, Re-cycle: Mediterranean Urban Metamorphosis
2013
Metamorphosis is the new and powerful keyword in time of crisis. We are not undergoing a mere -even though dramaticpassing situation, but we are living in a crisis which requires a metamorphosis of the ecological, cultural, economic, social and political systems to get out of it other than we were when entering it. The metamorphosis will have to be mainly urban, because we are now in the Urban Age in which more than half the population live and work in cities, at levels exceeding 80% in Europe. The city, as the predominant form of inhabiting, is invested with the “responsibility” of producing innovative, more sustainable, intelligent and creative life styles, able of generating the innovati…
Re-imagine, Re-load, Re-cycle: New Urbanism for the City of Future
2014
The failure of European development model based on financial protocols urges the need to "re-think capitalism" toward a greater spatial dimension and a different approach in the use/reuse/reduction of the capitals utilised in development processes. Especially in Mediterranean Europe we have to restart from urban capitals (space, identity, quality, service and production) using them as renewed engines of sustainable growth (RE-IMAGINE). In the global change scenario, the shrinking city produces several urban "fragments", functional "chips" and "scraps" of development that, through a recycling process/project, can be brought back into urban infrastructures for new cycles of life (RE-CYCLE). T…
Re-cycle: molecolare/sistemico
2014
Il modello di sviluppo dopato entro cui abbiamo vissuto consolati dalle sue aporie ha prodotto una costante erosione di risorse urbane, di cui quella del suolo è solo una sineddoche, sebbene la più evidente. Abbiamo consumato soprattutto le strutture identitarie dei palinsesti culturali e le trame vegetali delle città, abbiamo anestetizzato metabolismi vitali e interrotto i cicli delle acque, dei rifiuti e della mobilità rendendoli inefficaci. Abbiamo eroso la capacità dell'urbano di intrattenere una relazione osmotica con il rurale, abbiamo sedato la capacità produttiva e generativa delle manifatture, così come abbiamo dimenticato il valore rigenerativo della manutenzione edilizia. La cris…
Re-cyclical Urbanism. Visions, Paradigms and Projects for the Circular Metamorphosis
2017
The European Commission has clearly stated that more intelligent, sustainable and competitive development requires a paradigm shift in which the territory is construed as a primary resource, considered the holder of “development cells”, which are too often underused or mystified with regard to their real potential for use (EC, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, 2012). Cities designed and built on land rent — on which Italy set a benchmark — need to be replaced with cities of social and cultural profitability, value creation and jobs production. Cities that recycle already-used land to avoid energy waste, smarter cities — not just technologically, but also wiser and more sentie…
COLLAGE CITY. RIGENERAZIONE URBANA PER LA CITTA' DI TARANTO
2023
The paper returns, in a critical key, the results of the design experimentation developed by the Politecnico di Milano working group that has tackled the theme of the architectural and urban regeneration of the areas of Tamburi, Salinella and Paolo VI in Taranto, a broader reflection on the techniques, strategies and methodologies applied according to the new objectives defined by the United Nations Urban Agenda for the development of urban policies on the theme of social inclusion, economic and environmental sustainability. The three areas represent singular case studies peculiar to the design culture in our country of public housing and their settlement models and mark the different histo…
No more Masterplan: the Cityforming Protocol
2018
In Europe, the season of urban regeneration has produced important effects both in the review of the urban devices and in the rethinking of the settlement forms and their spatial and human relations. But it cannot be denied that certain diseases emerged which often have anaesthetised – if not cancelled – the regenerative effects envisaged. The urban transition, while it has increased the use of regeneration processes from the bottom, has at the same time extended the epidemic of failures derived from a top-down approach. The critical issues of hierarchical urban regeneration cannot be solved by revising the procedures for participation, improving design devices, or innovating implementation…
A versatile ultrasound system for in vitro experiments
2015
Objective One of the most difficult tasks to achieve with the available instrumentations used to study the interaction between ultrasound (US) and cellular model systems is to design an experiment, where only the effects of one physical parameter at a time is evaluated, while all the others are kept constant. The set-ups are usually custom-made, often by means of clinical instrument intended for a different therapeutic purpose. Furthermore, the results are not strictly comparable with others obtained with techniques considered standard in molecular and cellular biology at this time, because there is the need to use non-standard devices to contain biological samples. Sterility, as well as te…
