Internet of Services applications need to cope with a continuously changing environment, both in terms of the context in which they operate, and of the services, users and providers involved. In this setting, adaptivity is to be considered an intrinsic characteristic of applications rather than an exception to be handled. We propose a design for adaptation approach that fully exploits the advantages of the service-oriented paradigm to support the development and operation of service-based applications operating in highly dynamic environments. The approach is based on dynamic and incremental service composition and re-configuration techniques and it will be evaluated on a real-world scenario in the Smart Cities domain.

My research is on Automatic Generation of Security Test Cases for Inter-Component Communication Vulnerabilities
My advisor is Ceccato Mariano
Here is an abstract of my research:
Software systems are composed of multiple components. Components hold special privileges to perform different tasks. Controlled access to system resources is achieved through permission based security model. In order to gain privileges, a malicious component usually has to abuse a privileged component. This phenomenon is commonly known as the confused deputy attack. Confused deputy attack occurs when a privileged component performs an activity that needs special permission on behalf of other component that does not have the required permission. Static analysis is often used to detect existence of this vulnerability. However, reports of static analysis are vulnerability points rather than conditions that cause the vulnerability. Therefore, a developer that wishes to fix this vulnerability has to manually analyze the code in order to understand the conditions that cause the vulnerability. Similar to other permission based systems, the Android system also suffers from the confused deputy attack called permission redelegation. In our work, we investigate different approaches on how to automatically generate test cases that reveal permission redelegation vulnerabilities in Android apps. Test cases help developers easily trace, identify and fix the vulnerabilities. The test cases are also used to verify if the applied fix has resolved the vulnerability or not.

My research is on Integrating logical and statistical reasoning
My advisor is Serafini Luciano
Here is an abstract of my research:
In image retrieval there is an emerging interest in searching images on the basis of semantic descriptions of their content: for example searching for all the images that portray `a man riding a horse on a lawn`. Addressing this need requires (i) a language for describing image content and (ii) an automatic method to generate a description of such content. Our research proposes the use of ontologies in combination with machine learning to solve these problems. First, we explore the usage of ontological languages for expressing image content, which is represented as a partial model of an ontology. Second, we study the usage of ontology axioms, which impose constraints on image content, to improve the current image processing algorithms. Indeed, such algorithms are almost exclusively based on numerical methods, and integrating logical constraints in statistical algorithms is still an open problem. We therefore propose a novel method for combining logical reasoning with the processing of low-level image features, with the objective of improving the performance of current image interpretation systems.

My advisor is Magnini Bernardo
Here is an abstract of my research:
My research is mainly focused on the study of opposition relations at lexical level as a source of contradiction at textual level. Detecting oppositions, both among words and among portions of text, is a fundamental requirement for text analysis. Indeed, textual opposition plays a crucial role in applications such as machine translation, discourse understanding, and information retrieval. In the first year, I have mainly focused the research on the study of opposition relation among verbs. I have studied opposition relation taking in consideration that i) opposition relation is among senses of verbs, and ii) there exist different types of opposition relation with different characteristics. The future steps of my research project aims at studying cases in which an opposition relation between two verbs lead to a contradiction among pairs of sentences. The study of contradiction also requires the analysis of the conditions in which this relation occurs, both at sentence and at text level. In fact, the presence of a lexical opposition alone is not a sufficient condition for contradiction to exist: the opposite items need to be referred to the same entity/event. Consequently, for a complete study on contradiction, also co-reference need to be study from both a theoretical /linguistic and a computational point of view.

My advisor is Stock Oliviero
Here is an abstract of my research:
Influencing people's attitudes and behavior is an important feature for intelligent communication systems. However, few systems tackled this problem in the field of Natural Language Generation, and mostly with an approach based on argumentation. Very few have dealt with the so called peripheral route, which relies instead on evocative and attention grabbing expressions. In particular, their resulting text is often deemed uncreative and repetitive by users. The goal of my research is to define a simple persuasion framework, and to use it for the development of a complex system that starts from a human-produced short text and modifies it to be more persuasive, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional NLG. To experiment with this concept in applied domains I also plan to develop prototypes for specific persuasive applications

My advisor is Bovolo Francesca
Here is an abstract of my research:
Forests are an extremely important natural resource that need to be preserved for obvious environmental and economic reasons. An efficient forest management is essential for effective forest preservation. However such management demands an accurate inventory of biophysical parameters, such as the tree/crown height, the crown width, the biomass, which are costly to estimate by conducting on-site visits. In addition, the tree species information is also very essential for improving the accuracy of estimation. With the advancements in the airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing technology, it has become possible to capture three dimensional (3D) information of forests at the individual tree level in a much reliable and economical way. The high density multi-return airborne LiDAR data can provide a huge amount of spatial details about forest components, and hence can be used for accurately extracting the tree crowns and species information, which can facilitate the ultimate objective of accurate biophysical parameter estimation. Accurate modelling of the internal crown structure of the tree is necessary for extracting species information. Also, the information in the LiDAR data can be better exploited for accurate biophysical parameter estimation, by developing novel methodologies which incorporate the ability of Sparse methods in finding the prominent patterns in the data. Thus, the overall objectives of this proposal are to: 1) develop methods for identifying the species of trees belonging to the same tree-genera using high density airborne LiDAR data, 2) develop novel methods for 3D tree crown delineation in high density multi-return airborne LiDAR data, and 3) develop fully automatic biophysical parameter estimation techniques, by giving special emphasis on exploiting the capabilities of Sparse methods.

My advisor is Cimatti Alessandro
Here is an abstract of my research:
Model Checking (MC) is a prominent technique for verifying reactive systems –both hardware and software systems. The presence of memory/array accesses in the systems under test, however, introduces many difficulties in current MC techniques. Although some work has been done to verify such systems by using MC techniques based on Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), there is still a big margin for improving efficiency. The goal of our research is to provide efficient SMT-based MC techniques for verifying reactive systems with memory/array accesses. We focus on adapting Verification Modulo Theories techniques –e.g. bounded model checking, k-induction, counter example guided abstraction refinement– and on improving the underlying SMT tools for handling memory/array.

Here is an abstract of my research:
Various health risks are related to unhealthy lifestyles and poor dietary habits. A number of pathologies due to these health risk behaviors represent a serious challenge, resulting in disabling or life-threatening repercussions. People struggle to adhere to dietary requirements, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. Additionally, decreased motivation results in a probability of negative health implications. This study evaluates existing technologies used to have users adhere to sustained healthy behavior. We investigate persuasive technology and gamification strategies to reinforce users in exercising and healthy food substitution. We intend to develop a model to be used in creating-producing widgets to persuade people change their lifestyle. Subsequently, our model facilitates a sustained diet management plan supported by healthcare experts to intervene in the activity, only when necessary.

My advisor is Leonardo Goratti
Something about me
WHO? I am PhD student of University of Bologna, Department of Electronics and Information(DEI). My academic supervisor is Prof. Roberto Verdone. However, I have been doing my whole PhD program at FBK/CREATE-NET research center in Povo, Trento Under supervision of Dr. Leonardo goratti.WHAT? The title of my PhD is “Centralized versus distributed Self-Organizing features in 5G small cell networks”. Currently, I have been working on one of the next generations of cellular networks, LTE-LAA, and its co-existence possibilities with WIFI.WHY? The deployment of modern mobile systems has faced severe challenges due to the dramatically increase of users. The situation could be even worse by development of different wireless technologies in the same frequency band. Moreover, the usage of smaller cells (e.g. Micro, femto and wireless LAN), coexistence among heterogeneous networks (such as LTE and Wi-Fi deployed in the same frequency band) has been a big field of research in the academy and industry.

My research is on Local Deep Learning techniques for Scene Understanding
My advisor is Ricci Elisa e Caputo Barbara
Here is an abstract of my research:
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have shown to be very effective for addressing many computer vision tasks being the current state-of-the-art in object and scene recognition and semantic segmentation. In addition, their layers are able to create abstract images representation very effective as features, beating standard handcrafted approaches. However, there is still evidence that CNNs are not strong enough to tackle local variations and their training algorithms are not able to generalize enough to correctly address problems such as domain shift. My PhD goal is to exploit the CNNs power, together with the combination of local features, to clearly leverage the information coming from each part of the image, addressing tasks such as Scene Recognition and Understanding. The main idea is that not focusing on a single image representation helps building classifiers with enhanced generalization capabilities and increased power.

My research is on Application of novel position-sensitive Silicon PhotoMultipliers to medical imaging
My advisor is Gola Alberto
Here is an abstract of my research:
The Silicon Photo-multiplier (SiPM) is replacing the photomultiplier tube in several applications because of its solid-state nature, its better performance and customization level. Different position-sensitive SiPM (PS-SiPM) architectures have been proposed during the past few years. They allow the position of the light impinging on the SiPM active area to be identified using a limited number of readout channels, with an ultimate precision in the order of tens of microns and a sensitivity down to the single photon. The most important applications of PS-SiPMs are currently in the field of medical imaging, in which a scintillator is used for the detection of gamma-ray or X-ray photons. The PS-SiPM is used for the readout of the pixelated or monolithic scintillator with 2-dimensional position sensitivity and very good timing resolution. In this context, FBK has recently developed a new type of PS-SiPM, called Lineraly-Graded SiPM (LG-SiPM), showing beyond stateof-the-art performance during preliminary measurements. The PhD activity will focus on the research and development optimization of this technology, aiming at improving its performance and at extending its potential applications, within the current research programs of TIFPA and FBK.

My advisor is Rospocher Marco, Ghidini Chiara
Here is an abstract of my research:
Ontologies are used to represent knowledge in a formal and unambiguous way, facilitating its reuse and sharing among people and computer systems. A large amount of knowledge is traditionally available in unstructured text sources and manually encoding their content into a formal representation is costly and time-consuming. Several methods have been proposed to support ontology engineers in the ontology building process, but they mostly turned out to be inadequate for building rich and expressive ontologies. In my research activities, I exploit the recent advances in Neural Networks research tailoring them to fit the ontology learning problem.

My research is on Change detection methodologies for multi-temporal SAR images
My advisor is Bovolo Francesca
Here is an abstract of my research:
In the remote sensing, modern Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems have capabilities of acquiring data raising spatial resolution to sub-meter level and/or controlling the wave polarization of both transmitted and received waves. These represent a powerful tool for the multi-temporal analysis of changes in natural and urban areas. If we consider urban areas, SAR image potential in the analysis of small changes (i.e., smaller than the building size) is not fully exploited yet. These changes are associated to specific patterns of amplitude backscattering variation, if we consider same polarization for the incident and the scattered wave; or other parameter, if we consider data with multiple polarization. Thus, my research activity aims at developing backscattering models for changes affecting parts of the buildings (i.e., the roof or one of the façades) It also aims at designing novel advanced methodologies for the detection of changes in multi-temporal SAR images, which exploits the information from the higher level of detail and the different combinations of wave polarization.

My research is on Exploiting Ultra-low Power Wake-up Radios to enable Low Energy Internet of Things (LE-IoT)
My advisor is Murphy Amy Lynn
Here is an abstract of my research:
Duty cycling Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols have been extensively applied in wireless sensor networks to reduce energy consumption by periodically putting the main radio into sleep mode. However, these protocols suffer from overhearing and idle listening causing considerable energy waste. This energy wastage can be greatly reduced by using a secondary ultra-low power wake-up radio to completely switch off the main radio and only wake it up when there is communication. To date, most effort has been devoted to the hardware level, but no consideration has been dedicated to the design of communication protocols based on wake-up radios. To exploit the full potential of wake-up radios, cross-layer integration at the higher level is required. My research work focuses on the design of novel wake-up radio MAC and Routing protocols with evaluation using test-beds and real-life deployments.

My research is on Energy Efficient Heterogeneous Computing for smart wearable
My advisor is Farella Elisabetta
Here is an abstract of my research:
Heterogeneous computing is the dominant megatrend in highperformance and mobile computing architecture. It is the second revolution, after the transition from single to multi-core, caused by the requirement for exponentially increasing energy efficiency, which cannot be met simply by technology scaling. The doctoral project will look into heterogeneous computing opportunities for ultra-low power platforms, such as those used for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The defining characteristic of these applications is that they must fit in a power envelope of a few tens of mW, which at least one order of magnitude lower than the target of current heterogeneous computing solutions.

My research is on Security Analysis and Testing of Strong Authentication Protocols based on Mobile Devices
My advisor is Carbone Roberto
Here is an abstract of my research:
As the number of security-critical, online applications grows, the protection of the digital identities of the users is becoming a growing concern. Strong authentication protocols provide additional security by requiring the user to provide at least two independent proofs of identity for the authentication to succeed. With this work, we want to provide some tools for the analysis and the testing of a specific kind of security protocols: the Strong Authentication Protocols involving mobile devices. These security protocols are widely used for restricting access to critical resources, while their analysis and testing procedure is not fully developed. The aim of this research work is to help security expert to validate and improve the Strong Authentication Protocols design by providing testing tools and guidelines, in order to reach a higher security level for sensitive data access.

Nowadays, most of business practices involve personal data processing of customers and employees. And personal data processing is strictly regulated by legislation to protect the rights of the personal data owner. Enforcing regulation into enterprise information system is a non-trivial task, and a misinterpretation can lead to sanctions. This research presents an automatic legal compliance verification method of attribute based access control (ABAC) against the EU Data Protection Directive (DPD) 95/46/EC. The rights, obligations and conditions for lawful personal data processing from the directive are extracted and mapped to a formal legal model. We use this model to check whether an enterprise access control policy complies or violates the regulation.

My research is on Advanced Methods for the Analysis of Very High Resolution Multi-Sensor Optical Images Time-Series
My advisor is Bovolo Francesca
Here is an abstract of my research:
The use of remote sensing in the analysis and evaluation of environmental degeneration processes has become a valuable tool which relevance increased in conjunction with the use of digital image processing techniques. The improvement in acquisition sensor technology as well as in the data processing algorithm allowed an accurate and automatic identification and extraction of characteristics for the understanding of the environmental changes, especially while working with Very High Resolution (VHR) information. Nevertheless, the revisit of the sensors, the competing orders, and the weather conditions do not always allow the acquisition of proper and relevant information. To mitigate these limitations it is possible to construct time series by considering images acquired by different sensors. The main constraint becomes how to deal with this kind of information. Therefore, in this research we aim at developing an approach for the detection of changes in multisensor multitemporal VHR optical images by following two main steps: i) multi-sensor data homogenization; and ii) change detection for the analysis in multisensor multitemporal VHR images.

Temporal processing has recently become an active area of research because the extraction of temporal information (e.g. temporal expressions, events, temporal relations) from text is a fundamental component of many Human Language Technologies applications. So far temporal processing has been extensively applied only to the news domain: however the recognition and elaboration of temporal information is a crucial step also when dealing with History-related matters. Finding new approaches to the identification of this information in historical texts can assist historians in enhancing their work and can have an impact both on Natural Language Processing and on Digital Humanities research.

My advisor is Lanz Oswald
Here is an abstract of my research:
Multimedia content analysis more and more relies on advanced machine learning to capture the enormous richness of multi-modal sources (commented videos, images with captions, etc.). At the other side, domain specific knowledge is often available to leverage the content analysis task, but effectively encoding it into machine learning (down to the development of task-specific feature representations) is still an open research issue. The goal of this PhD is to progress on the computer vision side of the problem, to go beyond a mono-modal approach where supervisions for learning are provided explicitly. Instead, I will investigate how structured (background knowledge) and semi-structured data (e.g. text captions and descriptions) can be used to provide implicit supervision to enrich the task-specific visual learning capabilities.

This research will investigate opportunities of cooperative sensing and processing for real-time mapping, localisation and tracking in such contexts. The problem will be tackled with in a probabilistic framework with resource allocation capabilities to opportunistically manage the scalability-robustness trade-off. Performance assessment will itself require the definition of novel evaluation criteria.

When engineering secure software systems and services, software testing is one of the prominent practices to detect faults as well as security vulnerabilities. Security testing (also called penetration testing) is a branch of software testing devoted to stress programs with respect to their security features, with the aim of identifying vulnerabilities. The aspects of security testing that will be investigated during the internship include: (1) generating input values (referred to as test payloads), intended to exercise vulnerabilities; (2) evaluating whether such payloads manage to expose an actual vulnerability, i.e., the security oracle. Security testing is highly expensive given the complexity of modern systems, typically providing a wide range of services, and the sophistication of attacks and exploitations. To reduce effort and cost, the focus will be on achieving a high level of automation in security testing.
