KRSP (Knowledge Representation & Reasoning for the Semantic Web) 

Instrumentation

  • 6 Workstations;
  • n. 1 Server.

Teaching Activities

  • Security and Privacy;
  • Semantic Web;
  • Master theses on Security, Privacy, Knowledge representation.

Research Activities

We develop innovative extensions of OWL2, RDF, and related query and inference engines, supporting, for example, O.O.-like inheritance with exceptions and overriding, and inference-proof access control mechanisms.

Our technologies and design methodologies are targeted at managing and reasoning with very large knowledge bases, by supporting incremental ontology refinement and fast reasoning methods for profiles such as OWL2-EL and OWL2-DL.

Security, Privacy & Trust:

We develop innovative policy models and trust negotiation systems for access control in open distributed environments and pervasive computing scenarios.

Our technologies and design methodologies address dynamic and event driven access control decisions, as well as advanced support to policy authoring and verification, based on second generation explanation facilities.

We tackle usage control policy enforcement through the integration of cryptographic techniques and incentive compatible systems.

The main applications of our interest include large, knowledge based, and distributed information systems (for private companies, health organizations, etc). We focus on solutions for secure and performant knowledge utilization.

The KRSP Lab is involved in university-level teaching activities and theses (bachelor, master, PhD) related to knowledge representation and security.

Automatic Industrial Warehouse
The industrial warehouse is housed at the second floor of the DIETI and it is made of industrial components (see fig.1). The structure includes elements for handling pallets, both along horizontal and vertical directions. The elementary structures are rollers and elevators, while photocells are used for detecting the presence of the pallets. The system is controlled via remote I/O cards connected to a programmable logic controller (PLC) through the Profibus industrial network. The laboratory hosts PLCs by Siemens (S7-300 series with RFID module) and Allen-Bradley ControLogic. The programming of PLCs is allowed by a PC, which is connected to the controller via MPI and / or Ethernet network. The automatic warehouse is exploited by students for developing their final project for the Bachelor Degree in Automatic Control Engineering.

 

HIL and SIL platforms

 The laboratory hosts Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms for analysis, synthesis and validation of non-linear control systems, discontinuous control systems, adaptive control strategies, distributed control of complex systems, automotive control systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems and mechatronic applications. The main set-up available are:

  • set-up for analysis and control of discontinuous mechanical systems (cam-follower).
  • set-up for the analysis and control of switching and nonlinear circuits.
  • DSpace platform for rapid prototyping of control strategies. The platform is based on the DSpace ACE Kit 1104 system for the design, development and implementation of control laws through an easy-to-use real-time hardware. The system includes:
    • DS1104 R&D Controller Board;
    •  Adapter cables;
    •  CDP Control Development Software Package;
    •  Microtec C Compiler;
    •  I/O boards: ACE1104_CP e ACE1104_CLP; 
    •  CP1104 Connector Panel;
    •  CLP1104 Connector/LED Panel.
  • Platform for design, simulation and validation of automotive control laws (for single vehicles or fleets of connected vehicles). Dynamic vehicle models can be exploited for HIL simulations in both DSpace and National environments.
  • Platform for the simulation of fleets of autonomous connected vehicles in both urban and extra-urban traffic scenarios on smart roads.

The “G. Savastano” High Voltage laboratory was realized at the Institute of Electrotechnics. Basing on the idea of prof. G. Maione, who aimed at realizing a laboratory for teaching, researching and serving activities on components and systems for the transmission of the electrical energy, proff. A. Asta, G. Savastano e F. Gasparini hardly worked to realize in 1972 the structure, which is based on the features of the Munich University High Voltage laboratory.

The laboratory is unique in the context of Italian university laboratories. The structure is of about 500 m2, in height 18 m, equipped with acoustic and electromagnetic shields. The laboratory is realized with a ground system network, realizing a ground resistance of less than 0.3 Ω.

Research Activities

The Knowledge Management and Engineering Lab (KnoMELab)  research focuses on topics connected with knowledge extraction and processing. Nowadays, the availability of large amounts of digital data enables the extraction of knowledge useful in many application domains. Often data are in textual form, partially or unstructured, expressed in either natural or artificial languages, including programming languages. Methodologies developed for machine learning, natural language processing, and information retrieval are applied to different domains, ranging from software engineering to biomedical data analysis. These research activities involve the use of various machine learning techniques, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), deep learning, clustering, and others.
KnomeLab has participated in various international and national research projects.
