ASTRail : SAtellite-based Signalling and Automation SysTems on Railways along with Formal Method and Moving Block validation.
The ASTRail project falls within the scope of the topic S2R-OC-IP2-01-2017, Operational conditions of the signalling and automation systems signalling system hazard analysis and GNSS SIS characterization along with Formal Method application in railway field, which is connected with the complementary topics S2R-CFM-IP2-01-2015 and S2R-CFMIP2-01-2017.The ASTRail project will act to enhance the signalling and automation system by searching innovative solutions that exploit cutting edge technologies already present in sectors different from the rail such as the avionics or the automotive sector. Investigation of such technologies and assessment of their reusability in the railway field will be done taking in particular care all issues related to safety and performance in the rail system.

TRACE-IT: Train Control Enhancement via Information Technology. ECM, an industry leader in high-speed rail control system is the project coordinator. Participate as research bodies: FMT LAB (ISTI-CNR) DIEF and DISIT-DSI of UNIFI (PAR FAS 2007-2013 Azione 1.1 P.I.R. 1.1.B, 2011-2013, cofounded by Tuscany Region).

Quanticol: A Quantitative Approach to Management and Design of Collective and Adaptive Behaviours “QUANTICOL” is a European research initiative involving the University of Edinburgh, Scotland; Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie della Informazione “A. Faedo”, Italy; Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany; Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland; and IMT Lucca, Italy.

LearnPad: (Model-Based Social Learning for Public Administrations) The project will build an innovative holistic e-learning platform for PAs that enables process-driven learning and fosters cooperation and knowledge-sharing. The platform supports both an informative learning approach based on enriched business process (BP) models, and a procedural learning approach based on simulation and monitoring (learning by doing). Formal verification and natural language processing techniques will ensure quality of the content and the documentation.

CINA: Compositionality, Interaction, Negotiation, Autonomicity (A MIUR PRIN project) The project deals with the issues related to the development and management of open-ended IT systems consisting of heterogeneous, highly parallel, massively distributed components with complex interactions and behaviours and with autonomy in terms of individual properties, objectives and decision-making. It aims at developping a coherent, integrated set of languages, methods and tools to build systems that can operate in open-ended, unpredictable environments while adapting to changing contexts or requirements, and that behave reliably and are able to cope with failures and attacks.
