Emigration of High-Skilled Individuals due to Short-Term Contracts (EXODUS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: May 3, 2018,

This proposal presents a study of the EXODUS of exceptionally gifted individuals due to the increased utilization of short-term contracts. The primary objective is to study the impact of Italian labour market reforms, specifically those related to the regulation and utilization of short-term employment contracts, on the departure of skilled workers towards other countries, which typically offer mo ...

A Quantitative Approach to Management and Design of Collective and Adaptive Behaviours (QUANTICOL)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

The problem:The design of collective adaptive systems (CAS) must be supported by a powerful well-founded framework for modelling and analysis. CAS consist of a large number of heterogeneous entities with decentralised control and varying degrees of complex autonomous behaviour. These entities may be competing for shared resources even when collaborating to reach common goals. The pervasive but tra ...

Financial Systems Simulation and Policy Modelling (SIMPOL)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

This project proceeds from the vision that fundamental advances of policy modelling in finance and climate finance can only stem from a genuinely interdisciplinary approach where network science, big data and ICT's meet economics and financial regulation. Accordingly, on the one hand we will develop new methods to assess the systemic importance of market players in (climate) financial networks and ...

Foundational Research on MULTIlevel comPLEX networks and systems (MULTIPLEX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Future advancements in ICT domain are closely linked to the understanding about how multi-level complex systems function. Indeed, multi-level dependencies may amplify cascade failures or make more sudden the collapse of the entire system. Recent large-scale blackouts resulting from cascades in the power-grid coupled to the control communication system witness this point very clearly. A better unde ...

"PHIDIAS: Phenotyping with a High-throughput, Intelligent, Distributed, and Interactive Analysis System" (PHIDIAS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

"In this proposal we present PHIDIAS, with the objective to provide an affordable, high-throughput, distributed, knowledge-sharing platform for phenotype collection and analysis. PHIDIAS will incorporate lessons learned from prior phenotyping efforts and will be a simple to use platform for acquiring (non-destructively and continuously) and analyzing phenotypes from plant experiments. Its novelty ...

Highly-complex and networked control systems (HYCON2)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

ICT developments both enable and also enforce large-scale, highly-connected systems in society and industry. Knowledge to cope with these emerging systems is lacking. HYCON2 will stimulate and establish the long-term integration of the European research community, leading institutions and industry in the strategic field of control of complex, large-scale, and networked dynamical systems. It will i ...

Forecasting Financial Crises (FOC-II)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

In this project we set up an interdisciplinary consortium of computer scientists, physicists, economists and policy makers to deal with the problem of understanding and forecasting systemic risk and global financial instabilities. By leveraging on expertise in the various disciplines, we want to provide a novel integrated and network-oriented approach to the issue. On one hand, we will offer a the ...

Price-based Control of Electrical Power Systems (E-PRICE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2013,

The EU electric power system experiences a fundamental change in the quasi-monopolistic, top-down oriented, stable, and reasonable predictable arrangements of the past. It now spans continents, has hundreds of millions consumers and hundreds of thousands of producers, from nuclear power plants to privately-owned and operated badly predictable renewables such as solar cells, wind and microturbines ...
