Abstract: "Open Data are data that can be freely used, created and shared by anyone. Initiatives to let K-12 learners exploit Open Data are rare in literature, and the situation is even worse if we look for opportunities to move them in the position of Open Data publishers. To advance the dialogue around Open Data, […]

Abstract:The amount of accessible computational devices over the Internet offers an enormous but latent computational power. Nonetheless, the complexity of orchestrating and managing such devicesrequires dedicated architectures and tools and hinders the exploitation of this vast processing capacity. Over the last years, the paradigm of (Browser-based) Volunteer Computing emerged as a unique approach to harnessing […]

Abstract : Il panorama delle simulazioni è in grado di dare un grande apporto allo studio dei fenomeni reali. I modelli computazionali studiati per simularli, sono in grado di aumentare la conoscenza che abbiamo del mondo che ci circonda. I software sviluppati ad hoc per questi obiettivi sono creati per riprodurre il fenomeno che deve […]

Abstract: Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) and Discrete Event Simulation (DES) are two of the most common simulation approaches, and are supported by many simulation tools. Recently, modelers have begun integrating these methods to simulate real-world situations which have some elements better represented by DES and others better represented by ABM. Hybrid ABM and DES simulation is […]

Abstract:Graph burning is a deterministic, discrete-time process that can be used to model how influence or contagion spreads in a graph. In the graph burning process, each node starts as dormant, and becomes informed/burned over time; when a node is burned, it remains burned until the end of the process. In each round, one can […]
