4 Research

The research activity has been carried out in the ﬁeld of information processing technology and systems, with reference to distributed, massively-parallel and adaptive approaches, from the points of view of hardware, computational paradigms, and intensive-computing applications. In particular, the following areas have been addressed.

Artiﬁcial intelligence techniques and architectures
Theoretical and architectural aspects have been studied for implementing optimized solutions, mainly for artiﬁcial neural networks. Theoretical research has been focused on deep learning networks, learning (in particular, online learning, transfer learning, adversarial machine learning), and hierarchical structures (mainly for Radial basis Functions and Support Vector Machines). Research on architectures has studied high-performance solutions and fault-tolerant structures for neural networks, as well as design methodologies for embedded composite systems.
Artiﬁcial intelligence applications
The use of computational intelligence techniques have been deeply studied in a variety of application areas, both for testing the eﬀectiveness of innovative theoretical concepts and to derive application needs as challenges for theoretical research leading also to innovation in the applications. This research speciﬁcally refers to identiﬁcation, prediction, control, signal, and image processing applications. Advanced industrial applications have been realized for manufacturing process and environmental monitoring, quality certiﬁcation, and biomedical analysis.
Biometrics techniques and systems
Biometrics technologies and systems, including multi-modal approaches, have been studied for person veriﬁcation, identiﬁcation and recognition as well as for behavioral analysis, with speciﬁc reference to security applications. Artiﬁcial intelligence has been used to support ﬂexible approaches capable of learning from data. Biometric technologies and systems have been evaluated from diﬀerent points of view to support a comprehensive design methodology. Privacy issues in biometrics have been analyzed. Main focus has been on ﬁngerprint, palprint, iris, soft biometrics, and less-constrained and contactless techniques.
Distributed and parallel information processing architectures
Cloud, fog, and edge computing and Internet-of-Things has been studied to support advanced intelligent applications, in particular in the Industry 4.0 framework. Could computing has been studied for user requirements speciﬁcation. Modeling approaches have been studied for concurrent processes and communications in distributed and multiprocessor systems. Methodologies have been deﬁned for evaluating process parallelism and system dimensioning, including fault tolerance capacity. The virtual FPGA management and an innovative agent-based distributed ﬁle system have been proposed.
Arithmetic units
Algorithmic and structural characteristics of arithmetic units and systems have been studied. New architectural solutions have been deﬁned, with speciﬁc reference to high computational performance, high modularity, regularity of the integrated implementation, and fault tolerance by using codes.
Fault-tolerant architectures
Techniques and design methodologies have been studied for information processing systems with high performance and fault tolerance characteristics. In particular, innovative solutions have been proposed for Cloud Computing architectures, array processors, and digital systems for signal and image processing applications.

Researches performed in these areas are strictly related since they focus on advanced performances and characteristics, even if they consider diﬀerent abstraction levels. The main goals have been the development of highly adaptive functionalities and systems, the deﬁnition of structures and computational approaches having high computational performance, and the deﬁnition of advanced fault-tolerance capabilities. Studies and implementations have been carried out with the purpose of integrating the theoretical analysis with the deﬁnition of methodologies and tools to achieve practical results eﬃciently.
