The work presented in the Ph.D. thesis deals with the definition of new fuzzy models for Group Decision Making (GDM) aimed at improving two phases of the decision process: preferences expression and aggregation. In particular ...

Medium and Large Companies must compete every day in a global context. To achieve greater efficiency in their products/processes they are forced to globalize by opening multiple locations in geographically distant places. ...

Computational science is an ever-expanding research eld. It combines tech- nologies, modern computational methods, and simulations to address prob- lems too complex to be e ectively predicted by theory alone or too ...

Biometrics has been a thriving field of Pattern Recognition forlong. Both Academia and Business have thus focused their at-tention in the practical use of biometrics to advance and pro-mote varying applications in ...

Nowadays, thanks to the digitalization of business processes and public administrations, many significant Big data collections are available. Users are direct suppliers of data when publishing contents on social networks. ...

Nowadays there is a growing interest in wireless sensor networks, one of the most significant technologies of the 21𝑠𝑡 century. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is essentially composed by a large number of electronic ...

A major goal in the design of cryptographic protocols is to re- duce the number of communication rounds. Since a cryptographic protocol usually consists of a composition and interplay of some subprotocols and cryptographic ...

A cryptographic protocol is defined by the behaviour of the involved parties and the messages that those parties send to each other. Beside the functionality and the security that a cryptographic protocol provides, it is ...

Recent security breaches showed that every attack begins with the involvement of users and continues with the exploitation of technology bugs. In almost all cases, without human collaboration, conscious and unconscious, ...

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are integrations of computation with physical processes. Applications of CPS arguably have the potential to overshadow the 20-th century IT revolution. Nowadays, CPSs application to many sectors ...
