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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The following doctoral thesis comprises two distinct sections, both describing a specific applied research concerning the macro-theme of computer security. The first section describes a proposal for the improvement and ...

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, ...

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. ...

The growth of the Internet and the pervasiveness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have led to a radical change in our society, a deep economical, commercial and social impact on our lives. To date, most ...

The mission of homeland security is ensuring the safety of living communities and protecting citizens from unforeseen events. In this research field, intelligent and advanced systems are extremely useful to prevent from ...

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 ...
