Resting-state BOLD temporal variability in sensorimotor and salience networks underlies trait Emotional Intelligence and explains differences in Emotion regulation strategies

A converging body of behavioural findings supports the hypothesis that the dispositional use of Emotion Regulation (ER) strategies depends on trait Emotional Intelligence (trait EI) levels. Unfortunately, neuroscientific investigations of such relationship are missing. To fill this gap, we analysed trait measures and resting state data from 79 healthy participants to investigate whether trait EI and ER processes are associated to similar neural circuits. An unsupervised machine learning ...

A Goal Model for Collective Adaptive Systems

Abstract—A collective adaptive system is composed of large numbers of autonomous and self-adaptive entities which are able to provide benefits for other participants and have to cooperate with each other to accomplish their individual goals. When entities adapt their own behavior due to unexpected situations, this may result in breaking the overall collaboration if these are not executed simultaneously and do not respect some collective constraints. The objective of this paper is to pr...

A Model-Driven Solution to Support Smart Mobility Planning

Multimodal journey planners have been introduced with the goal to provide travellers with itineraries involving two or more means of transportation to go from one location to another within a city. Most of them take into account user preferences, their habits and are able to notify travellers with real time traffic information, delays, schedules update, etc.. To make urban mobility more sustainable, the journey planners of the future must include: (1) techniques to generate journey alternativ...
