Cyber resilience in Supply Chain Management: an empirical investigation in Italian firms
No full textSupply chains are more vulnerable than ever due to the complexity of today’s business environment. The supply chain resilience (SCRES) and supply chain risk management (SCRM) literatures have grown significantly in recent years; however, there are only few studies dealing with SCRES for specific emergent risks, such as cyber risks. Cyber risks can have detrimental effects on SCs and has been recognized in the literature as a key theme that is still under-investigated. This research aims at exploring perceptions and managerial approaches of Italian firms to create cyber resilience. Through an empirical investigation on a sample of 210 Italian firms, we test the conceptual model by using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique

No full textA scaling model of depth-duration-frequency relationship for the analysis of extreme rainfalls in an alpine region
No full textThe relationship between rainfall depth, duration and frequency, represented in a compact form by the depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curve, has been of considerable interest to practising engineers and hydrologists for over a century. Recent research sought to apply the scaling hypotheses to annual maximum series of rainfall depth for different rainfall duration. It is shown here that, based on the empirically observed scaling properties of rainfall and some general assumptions about the cumulative distribution function for the annual maximum of the rainfall depth, it is possible to derive a simple DDF relationship. This general framework provides a basis for the generation of maps that can be used to infer DDF curves at any point of a particular area. Data from a dense raingauge network in a mountainous region in north-eastern Italy (the Trentino Province) are used to clarify the methodology for the construction and regionalization of the DDF relationshi
MABS validation through repeated execution and data mining analysis
No full textAgent Based Modelling is the most interesting and advanced approach for simulating a complex system: in a social context, the single parts and the whole are often very hard to describe in detail. Besides, there are agent based formalisms which allow to study the emergency of social behaviour with the creation and study of models, known as artificial societies. Thanks to the ever increasing computational power, it's been possible to use such models to create software, based on intelligent agents, which aggregate behaviour is complex and difficult to predict, and can be used in open and distributed systems. Data mining is born in the last decades in order to help users in finding useful knowledge from the otherwise overwhelming amount of data available nowadays from the web and the data collected every day by companies. Data Mining techniques can therefore be the keystone to reveal non-trivial knowledge expressed by the initial assumption used to build the micro-level of the model and the structure of the society of agents that emerged from the simulation
I valori della mobilità: il caso della metropolitana leggera di Brescia
No full textTra i recenti cambiamenti di cui la città è protagonista, vi è la sfida dell’integrazione tra mobilità e territorio. Gli studi in questa direzione sono numerosi e coinvolgono settori sempre più ampi. L’obiettivo di rendere le infrastrutture più sostenibili è evidenziato dalle numerose iniziative comunitarie e nazionali. Da un lato, la città è al centro di questo cambiamento con l’intento di promuovere un sistema di trasporto meno impattante dal punto di vista ambientale, più efficace ed efficiente ma, dall’altro, non si possono trascurare i valori soggettivi di cui è foriera una comunità, e che si manifestano nel diritto allo spostamento dei cittadini che vivono tale realtà. Queste considerazioni si inseriscono nel contesto più generale della pianificazione della mobilità, che risulta funzionale allo sviluppo e al presidio territoriale
