La città di Alphabet. Architettura per prosumers.
2021
Attraverso alcuni aspetti salienti dell’ideazione, della produzione e dell’opposizione al progetto del Toronto Quayside di Sidewalk labs, l’articolo discute l’influenza delle infrastrutture digitali per l’informazione sul progetto della casa e del quartiere. L’ampliamento delle attività svolte da remoto nello spazio domestico, enfatizzato dal quotidiano della pandemia da Covid 19, costituisce per gli oligopolisti planetari degli urban data come Alphabet un utile volano pubblicitario e un acceleratore. La fusione dei nuovi vessilli della tecnoemancipazione e della sostenibilità in ipotesi sperimentali che mirano a costruirsi sia per intero che per parti realizza un nuovo orizzonte in cui lo …
Architectural library. Dioscuri Temple in Agrigento
2013
This paper presents the synthesis of research about the ICT solution for cultural heritage through the innovative technology of representation and survey. One objective was to identify a method of processing data for knowledge, dissemination and preservation of the asset. Historical analysis, surveying, photogrammetry and laser scanner, the processing of survey data and modelling are all focused to the same final purpose. The methodology developed for this application framework becomes adoptable in General for Cultural Property, which become in turn the protagonists of 3D WebGIS.
EntityBot: Supporting Everyday Digital Tasks with Entity Recommendations
2021
Everyday digital tasks can highly benefit from systems that recommend the right information to use at the right time. However, existing solutions typically support only specific applications and tasks. In this demo, we showcase EntityBot, a system that captures context across application boundaries and recommends information entities related to the current task. The user’s digital activity is continuously monitored by capturing all content on the computer screen using optical character recognition. This includes all applications and services being used and specific to individuals’ computer usages such as instant messaging, emailing, web browsing, and word processing. A linear model is then …
Searching the internet for learning materials through didactic indicators
2007
Internet offers a huge amount of didactic materials that can be used in creating new online courses. However, those materials need a deep analysis to understand their context and contents before their potential use. As a consequence, the search of didactic material in internet is often quite tedious and time consuming so the searcher usually limits his/her analysis to the first found web pages . To help users in finding efficiently and timely the most appropriate online materials, we have developed a system, called SAXEF (System for Automatic eXtraction of lEearning object Features), that is capable to automatically extract the didactic indicators (a sort of DNA) of any web page (or group o…
3D DATA INTEGRATION FOR WEB BASED OPEN SOURCE WebGL INTERACTIVE VISUALISATION
2022
Abstract. Recent advances in open-source geospatial technologies in WebGIS allowed the visualization of a 3D complex environment on the web, exploiting realistic Globe reproduction of the real territorial asset. At the same time, in the field of gaming technologies, the new possibilities offered by open-source WebGL JavaScript libraries allowed the creation of Virtual Reality navigation models on the web. The integration between 3D GIS globe navigation models and VR environment navigation is a solution that offers a further level of detail in web navigation, exploiting the capabilities of web browsers in the best way. This research further contributes to this field, showing a workflow to in…

Twitter Analysis for Real-Time Malware Discovery
2017
In recent years, the increasing number of cyber-attacks has gained the development of innovative tools to quickly detect new threats. A recent approach to this problem is to analyze the content of Social Networks to discover the rising of new malicious software. Twitter is a popular social network which allows millions of users to share their opinions on what happens all over the world. The subscribers can insert messages, called tweet, that are usually related to international news. In this work, we present a system for real-time malware alerting using a set of tweets captured through the Twitter API’s, and analyzed by means of a Bayes naïve classifier. Then, groups of tweets discussing th…
Automatic Generation of Custom Tourist Routes
2019
In this paper we present a new tool for the automatic generation of custom tourist routes. Starting from the user preferences (place to visit, starting and ending points, available time, favourite types of attractions) our system is able to extract information from the Web and to suggest a custom route to the user. Our system is based only onto online information, which is dynamically extracted at the query time, so that it can work for every location in the world, with no restrictions. Furthermore, our method does not require any user intervention, unless the input parameters. Our system is also able to give to the users supplementary information about the route stops, as a photo slideshow…
Modular Middleware for Gestural Data and Devices Management
2017
In the last few years, the use of gestural data has become a key enabler for human-computer interaction (HCI) applications. The growing diffusion of low-cost acquisition devices has thus led to the development of a class of middleware aimed at ensuring a fast and easy integration of such devices within the actual HCI applications. The purpose of this paper is to present a modular middleware for gestural data and devices management. First, we describe a brief review of the state of the art of similar middleware. Then, we discuss the proposed architecture and the motivation behind its design choices. Finally, we present a use case aimed at demonstrating the potential uses as well as the limit…
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…
