    • An ant-colony based approach for real-time implicit collaborative information seeking 

      Malizia, Alessio; Olsen, Kai A.; Turchi, Tommaso; Crescenzi, Pierluigi (2017-05-01)
      We propose an approach based on Swarm Intelligence — more specifically on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) — to improve search engines’ performance and reduce information overload by exploiting collective users’ behavior. We ...

    • Fostering computational thinking through collaborative game-based learning 

      Turchi, Tommaso; Fogli, Daniela; Malizia, Alessio (2019-05-30)
      Algorithms are more and more pervading our everyday life: from automatic checkouts in supermarkets and e-banking to booking a flight online. Understanding an algorithmic solution to a problem is a very relevant activity ...

    • MEASURING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES : An analytical and predictive tool 

      Carta, Silvio; Turchi, Tommaso; Pintacuda, Luigi (2022-04-15)
      This work presents the initial results of an analytical tool designed to quantitatively assess the level of resilience of urban areas. We use Deep Neural Networks to extract features of resilience from a trained model that ...

    • RECOMM. Measuring resilient communities: An analytical and predictive tool 

      Carta, Silvio; Turchi, Tommaso; Pintacuda, Luigi; Jankovic, Ljubomir (2023-09-30)
      We present initial findings of our project RECOMM: an analytical tool that evaluates the resilience of urban areas. The tool utilises Deep Neural Networks to identify characteristics of resilience and assigns a resilience ...

    • Resilient Communities: A Novel Workflow 

      Carta, Silvio; Pintacuda, Luigi; Owen, Ian; Turchi, Tommaso (2021-11-16)
      This study presents a novel workflow to define how resilient communities can be analysed and improved through the optimisation of sustainable design principles through quantitative methods. Our model analyses successful ...

    • Self-organising floor plans in care homes 

      Carta, Silvio; Turchi, Tommaso; St Loe, Stephanie; Simon, Joel (2020-06-01)
      This paper presents and discusses an optimisation approach applied to spatial layouts in care home building design. With this study, we introduce a method for increasing the floor plan efficiency using a self-organising ...

    • TAPAS : A tangible End-User Development tool supporting the repurposing of Pervasive Displays 

      Turchi, Tommaso; Malizia, Alessio; Dix, Alan (2017-04-01)
      These days we are witnessing a spread of many new digital systems in public spaces featuring easy to use and engaging interaction modalities, such as multi-touch, gestures, tangible, and voice. This new user-centered ...
