Snap4City solution has been designed to be Click to access Snap4City tools main entry Click the image to access Snap4City scalable, flexible, safe and respectful of privacy, endowed of a powerful semantic reasoner based on Km4City multi-domain semantic model and tools (https://www.km4city.org). A special attention is provided to enable the development of applications in multiple domains and not only on mobility and transport, tourism, health, welfare, social, etc.        


DISIT lab and research group is active since 1994. It is one of the most active ICT labs of the University of Florence, metropolitan Tuscany area. DISIT successfully developed a relevant number of International and National research, development and innovation projects. DISIT provides an infrastructure for cloud and distributed computing.
DISIT has coordinated a number of large EC projects, in many others has covered the role of partner, and also coordinating scientific and technical WP and performing activities of dissemination and assessment.  DISIT has received a relevant number of awards and is directly involved into top level international conferences, advisory boards, and committees.
DISIT research areas: big data, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, distributed systems, formal models, metrics definition and assessment:
