Research Projects
MDEForge
MDEForge is an extensible Web-based modeling platform specifically conceived to
foster a community-based modeling repository, which underpins the development,
analysis and reuse of modeling artifacts. Moreover, it enables the adoption of
model management tools as software-as-a-service that can be remotely used without
overwhelming the users with intricate and error-prone installation and configuration
procedures. MDEForge platform consists of a number of services that can be used
by means of both a Web access and programmatic interfaces (API) that enable
their adoption as software as a service. In particular, core services are provided
to enable the management of modeling artifacts, namely transformations, models,
metamodels, and editors. Atop of such core services, extensions can be developed
to add new functionalities.

Own Projects
Homnibus
Monitoring system and management of power consumption. The device was created
by careful control of the parameters of photovoltaic systems and has evolved to
more control in general of any electrical system. The project is a Spring (J2EE) web
application that, on the one hand, is able to comunicate with Arduino devices that
continuously send data to the application via WI-FI internet connection, on the other
is able to aggregate and show in a (responsive) proper manner data stored in the
system by tables, graphs, etc. It is possible to configure the device for monitoring
photovoltaic systems, and with its real-time monitoring of energy produced, sold
and consumed, and consumed or car for example, you can configure for the simple
detection of the average home consumption. It also plans to release for three-phase
systems, dedicated to large photovoltaic installations and industry. Each user can
have one or more devices, which can be associated to a same installation (for the
targeted control) or to different installations. It is possible to install multiple devices
in a single system. The purpose of the device is that of analysis and management
of consumption and or the production of electrical energy. This is possible through
the website, conveniently from any device, PC, tablet, smartphone, etc..

DEI Digital
The project concern the digitalization of the DEI Digital publishing house publications
in order take advantages to consult the entire corpus via a web application. A web
application has been developed whose main purpose was to index the corpus of
digitalized DEI publications in order to provide a more precise and fast research. It
used the open source Apache Lucene (https://lucene.apache.org/core/) like
search engine that is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine library
written entirely in Java. It is a technology suitable for nearly any Application that
requires full-text search, especially cross-platform. Lucene is powerful, accurate and
efficient search algorithms and permits a ranked searching so to have the bests
results first. It permits also many powerful query types: phrase queries, wildcard
queries, proximity queries, range queries etc.
3C Indicators
The project is a framework including tools able to collect economics indicators in a
coherent and smart manner in order to find innovative ways to help SMEs (small
and medium enterprises) in their internationalization. The system provides useful
data that are used by these enterprises to understand themselves, in order to be
aware of their own weaknesses and strengths so to compare with the international
market. The framework stores and handles economic indicators, provided by the
major open source big data databases on the web via REST API, in a single database.
This collection is made through ad-hoc systems that connect directly to databases
through REST API and allow the recovery and the constant and automatic update
of these data. The system provides, in turn, all the available data via REST API,
which may also provide data calculated from other data present in the system
so they can be used to achieve the goal to help SMEs in their self-assessment
in order to understand how to improve their own enterprise with the purpose of
internationalization.
