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. ...

Kinematically redundant robots possess more degrees of freedom than those strictly required to execute a given task. Such a charac- teristic gives the system a higher degree of dexterity and mobility that can be exploited ...

In the field of logistics, the study of systems that follow the recommended requirements of the ``Industry 4.0'' is now of paramount importance. Since traditional hierarchical and centralized control architectures have ...

In decentralized systems, the control loop between robots, sensors, actuators and processing units does not close on the same physical device, but through a communication network on which the explicit or implicit exchange ...

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 ...

In the surveillance systems, Unmanned Vehicle (UV) scene inter- pretation is a non-trivial problem, because UVs need to possess human-like common-sense knowledge to correctly interpret events and situations occurring in ...

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 ...
