Predictions in Resilient Hybrid AC/DC Grids Leveraged by an Interoperable and Secure ICT Platform
2022
Power systems are undergoing a significant change and the main elements to address the new challenges is the new key-role played by the distribution grid and its transformation into a smart grid. While the distribution grid has traditionally operated with alternating current (AC), nowadays most devices operate with DC internally, and most distributed renewable resources generate power in DC. Furthermore, storage components, such as batteries and supercapacitors, have a DC character. DC seems to be the one of the most promising candidates to avoid stranded investments and to guarantee incredible saving for the community in Europe, making the transition to a fully decarbonised energy system a…
Does diversification pay in the app market? Evidence from Apple's App Store and Google Play
2016
In this paper we address the study of the effects of product line diversification on firm performance in the mobile application market. Specifically, we shed light on whether the distribution platform ecosystem where developers commercialize their apps influence the effect of product line diversification, i.e., diversification across different app categories, on developer sales performance. To these purposes, we compare the sales performance of diversified developers with that of category-specialized developers in the two major app stores (namely, Apple’s App Store and Google Play). Our results show that the diversification strategy has a positive impact on developer sales in Google Play, w…
Mobile agent application fields
2004
Publisher Summary Mobile agents are a recent paradigm for software design, which extends object oriented programming features. An agent can perform its task autonomously; a mobile agent can carry out complex tasks that require the agent to migrate from a network place to another one. Mobile agent application fields are many. It can replace web services in other cases, mobile agents and web services can be an effective solution together. The chapter discusses the three mobile agent application fields, which are: parallel and distributed computing, data mining and information retrieval, and networking. An overview of the development platforms is also discussed. Data mining and information ret…
Multi-Platform Agent Systems with Dynamic Reputation Policy Management
2011
Open, distributed multi-platform agent systems require new management approaches for resources and data secure access. In this paper a Jade-S based multi-platform agent system implementing dynamic reputation policy management is proposed. The implemented extension deals with biometrics, X-Security, DES cryptography and agent reputation. With more details, the proposed reputation management system helps to assess the agent's behavior and reliability, in order to select trusted agents. This is made possible by the knowledge that agents are able to acquire, over time, and that allows them to choose the best solution using own intelligence in total autonomy.
La tutela del contraente debole nella platform economy dopo il Regolamento UE 2019/1150 e la Direttiva UE 2019/2161 (c.d. Omnibus)

La disciplina giuridica delle piattaforme online per la ristorazione
2022
The paper investigates the legal issues concerning online platform for restaurants. A coherent regulatory framework of these platforms is proposed, considering the P2B and B2C relationships involved in their activities, with a focus on the protection of food choices and personal data entered by users. While for the P2B issues the European legislation lay down by Reg. EU n. 1150/2019 and the previous Dir. 2000/31/EC on electronic commerce is involved; the B2C issues are discussed considering the regulation on unfair commercial practices provided by Dir. n. 2005/29/EC and, specifically, Reg. EU n. 1169/2011 on food information. As regards the privacy issues of the platform customers, the GDPR…

Il dynamic business modelling per lo sviluppo e la prevenzione delle crisi delle piattaforme multi-sided
2021
Over the last few decades, the sharing economy diffusion has implemented continu- ous changes in business model opportunities with multi-sided platforms (MSPs). MSPs are digital exchange platforms that connect unmatched demand and supply side participants through internet technology. Success examples of such businesses are Airbnb, Amazon, Uber, and Just Eat. How- ever, in many cases, such initiatives also experience high growth followed by a rapid failure. Due to MSPs peculiar and complex characteristics, this study suggests adopt- ing the dynamic business modeling (DBM) perspective. The DBM aims to make explicit reinforcing and balancing cause-and-effect relationships among strategic re- s…
Supporting Multi-Sided Platform firms to maintain rapid growth (and to avoid failure) over time through a Dynamic Business Modelling approach
2020
Over the last few decades, the diffusion of the sharing economy has nurtured continuous changes in business model opportunities with multi-sided platforms (MSPs) in many industries. MSPs are digital exchange platforms aiming at connecting unmatched demand- and supply- side participants through the use of internet technology. In many cases, such start-up initiatives have led to the creation of scale-up or high-growth firms (HGFs). However, in spite of the significant contribution to both economic development and employment, current studies seem to investigate primarily in an isolated perspective HGFs, MSPs and their business model innovation (BMI). The existing literature on HGFs focuses on …
