In shape optimization, design improvements significantly depend on the dimension and variability of the design space. High dimensional and variability spaces are more difficult to explore, but also usually allow for m...

In allocation problems, a given set of goods are assigned to agents in such a way that the social welfare is maximized, that is, the largest possible global worth is achieved. When goods are indivisible, it is possible to use money compensation to perform a fair allocation taking into account the actual contribution of all agents to the social welfare. Coalitional games provide a formal mathematical framework to model such problems, in particular the Shapley value is a solution concept widely used for assigning worths to agents in a fair way. Unfortunately, computing this value is a #P-hard problem, so that applying this good theoretical notion is often quite difficult in real-world problems. In this paper, we first review the application of the Shapley value to an allocation problem that models the evaluation of the Italian research structures with a procedure known as VQR. For large universities, the problem involves thousands of agents and goods (here, researchers and their research products). We then describe some useful properties that allow us to greatly simplify many such large instances. Moreover, we propose new algorithms for computing lower bounds and upper bounds of the Shapley value, which in some cases provide the exact result and that can be combined with approximation algorithms. The proposed techniques have been tested on large real-world instances of the VQR research evaluation problem.

Brain-computer Interface (BCI) technology exploiting electroencephalographic (EEG) sensorimotor oscillations is a potential tool to promote neuronal plasticity after stroke and ultimately to improve motor rehabilitation outcomes in post-stroke sub-acute and chronic stage. Nevertheless, the cost/effectiveness of BCI-based rehabilitative interventions remains to be addressed when considering the heterogeneity in the post-stroke functional motor impairment (clinical status) and the central nervous system reorganization (neuroplasticity). In this paper, we will provide preliminary findings on how multimodal neurophysiological methods to asses potential recovery after stroke can be use to foster an effective applicability of BCI technology in neuro-rehabilitation care.

In this study the P300 latency jitter has been explored in an EEG data set collected from a group of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC;n=13) that was administered with an auditory Oddball paradigm under passive and active conditions. A method based on wavelet transform was applied to estimate single trial P300 waveforms. Preliminary results showed that 5 Vegetative State (VS) and 8 Minimally Conscious Staten (MCS) patients exhibited significantly higher values of P300 latency jitter as compared to those obtained from a control group of 12 healthy subjects. In addition, the magnitude of the P300 latency jitter negatively correlated with patients' clinical status. The existence of such phenomenon might substantially limit an effective use of Brain computer Interface systems for communication.
