«You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours». Those are the words used by Italo Calvino in his book “Invisible Cities” to give us a key aspect of a city, and it is from this consideration that this research work starts. In particular, the aim is to study and develop innovative soluti...
Our society is oriented towards data production. The increasingly massive spread of mobile devices and the Internet of Things is transforming our society into a data factory. Data, however, does not immediately lead to knowledge and, in fact we can become overwhelmed with a mass of information that is difficult to understand: often the desire to pr...
The spread of generic (as Twitter, Facebook or Google+) or specialized (as LinkedIn or Viadeo) social networks allows to millions of users to share opinions on different aspects of life every day. Therefore this information is a rich source of data for opinion mining and sentiment analysis. This paper presents a novel approach to the sentiment anal...

The increasing number of connected cars introduced new cyber-attacks strategies that give life to potentially devastating scenarios on everyday life. In fact, the connected cars show many vulnerabilities and are not conform to the policies defined in the AIC Model (availability, integrity and confidentiality). On the other hand, the advantages related to cars connected are very useful for implementing new innovative scenarios providing, for example, context and situation awareness in some operative scenarios. The main problem relies in the introduction of effective techniques that works in well-known framework (PC, Smartphone, ...) in a real challenging environment as the automotive. In this scenario, the main parameter to consider is that of the quick ability to identify and react a possible attack. So the idea is to create and develop an embedded Intrusion Detection System for Automotive. This work adopting a Bayesian Network approach for the quick identification of malicious messages on the controller Area Network (CAN-Bus).
