Elders play a major role in passing on local food knowledge to younger generations, ensuring local food traditions and cultural identity do not disappear over time. To preserve these traditions, it is essential to engage older and younger generations of a community in a transgenerational dialogue. From this perspective, the study utilizes a hybrid participatory approach, composed of design thinking and learning-by-doing. Results of the case study underline the effectiveness of the approach in stimulating both the transfer of knowledge, as well as the involvement of younger generations, in the preservation of local food traditions.
Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2017

On the one hand, the impressive diffusion of Online Social Networking platforms is making OSNs a pervasive tool for maintaining social relationships between people. On the other hand, the diffusion of mobile personal devices with rich networking and computing capabilities is fostering novel patterns of user interactions through social networks, also depending on the dynamic context and locations of the users. Last but not least, pervasive mobile technologies enable completely novel types of social networking applications and services, such as Mobile Social Networks. The enormous potential of Pervasive Social Computing is leading scientific communities in different disciplines, from computer science to social science, communication science and economy, to analyze, study and provide new theories, models, methods, technological solutions and case studies. Interestingly, more and more Pervasive Mobile Computing technologies are designed using inter-disciplinary approaches that exploit models of the users personal and social behavior to design algorithms, protocols, services and applications. The special issue solicitation targeted this multidisciplinary research environment, focusing on a range of topics relevant to Pervasive Social Computing (PSC), including architectures and algorithms, mobile pervasive networking for PSC, analysis of users' interactions in PSC, pervasive sensing technologies, security, privacy and trust, context awareness in PSC, services and applications in PSC. The special issue received 27 submissions covering most of the above-mentioned areas. We eventually accepted 7 articles for publication, some of which after multiple revisions. The first paper, ''A Personalized Recommender System for Pervasive Social Networks'' by Valerio Arnaboldi, Mattia Giovanni Campana, Franca Delmastro, Elena Pagani, proposes p-PLIERS, which is a context-aware system to filter interesting content for Mobile Social Networks of users, by exploiting information gathered at mobile nodes during pairwise direct contacts enabled by user mobility. p-PLIERS does not require any pre-existing infrastructure, and enables efficient sharing of content generated by users themselves. The effectiveness of p-PLIERS is evaluated on a number of real-world traces, including new ones collected by authors. The second paper, ''Social-aware Hybrid Mobile Offloading'' by Huber Flores, Rajesh Sharma, Denzil Ferreira, Vassilis Kostakos, Jukka Manner, Sasu Tarkoma, Pan Hui, Yong Li enables integration of clouds of mobile devices, cloudlets and remote clouds, which results in an extended pervasive computing fabric for computation offloading. As offloading tasks may come at a cost for other mobile users, the paper develops a credit-based system to incentivize sharing of local resources at mobile devices in the generated computing fabric. Incentives are based on detected (possibly transient) social relationships between users. Authors present a framework, called HyMobi, implementing these concepts. A prototype of HiMoby is used for performance evaluation. The third paper, ''Trust and Reputation Management for Opportunistic Dissemination'' by Radu-Ioan Ciobanu, Radu-Corneliu Marin, Ciprian Dobre, Valentin Cristea considers an opportunistic networking environment, characterised by absence of planned wireless infrastructures, while the network forms out of direct contact between users' devices. The focus of the paper is on detecting malicious nodes which modify the content of received messages before further forwarding them, in order to spread false information in the network. Interestingly, the proposed trust and reputation mechanism (SAROS) exploits the very features of this challenged networking environment to its advantage, thus enabling receivers of content to understand if messages have been tampered with during the forwarding process. Security and trust issues are also the focus of the fourth paper, ''Anonymous End-to-End Communications in Adversarial Mobile Clouds'' by Claudio Agostino Ardagna, Kanishka Ariyapala, Mauro Conti, Cristin Pinotti, Julinda Stefa. Specifically, authors consider a mobile cloud environment where resource-limited devices such as sensors offload compute-intensive tasks to remote clouds. The paper develops a mechanism to guarantee secure end-to-end communication and file transfer

This interest has stimulated the development of many deception-detection methods in the literature in recent years. This work systematically reviews the literature focused on facial cues of deception. The most relevant methods applied in the literature of the last decade have been surveyed and classified according to the main steps of the facial-deception-detection process (video pre-processing, facial feature extraction, and decision making). Moreover, datasets used for the evaluation and future research directions have also been analysed.

The authors have identified two classes of applications of RFID technologies in healthcare setting: people monitoring/management and items/assets management applications. While for the perspective views it is provided their classification in: future scenarios, emerging applications and needs. Moreover, a discussion on components, development, key strengths and critical issues affecting the RFID usage in healthcare setting is given in the paper.

In this context, data, services, applications, and knowledge can be viewed as entities of a Digital Ecosystem, defined as a virtual environment that supports the mash-up, knowledge sharing and management among the multiple and independent entities, which are part of this environment. This is particularly important with respect to the creativeness and innovation at social and economic level. This paper provides SHAPES web platform, that combines, in an ecosystemic approach, online social media and services for the creation and management of distributed knowledge, and the creation of intelligent services for communities of creative enterprises. The main features of the SHAPES on-line platform are described. The description underlines how the platform allows connecting the actors involved in the ecosystem with relevant services provided by means of the framework components, and the role of the ecosystemic environment in offering significant opportunities in terms of services and knowledge sharing, integration and collaboration.

New technological tools, such as multimodal platforms, can be used to enhance cognitive and learning processes. This paper introduces a new paradigm that includes different characteristics of the human-human communication, such as emotions, aesthetics, presence perception, and semantic communication that, usually, are not considered in the human computer communication. Moreover, it provides a gaming application scenario and the description of an Advanced Multimodal Platform for game-based Learning.

Starting from these considerations the focus of the paper is to distinguish the role that prosodic features have in distinguishing four different kinds of Italian sentences (statements, questions, commands, and exclamations). The methodology used for the analysis is the case study. 50 Italian users of the Institute of Research on Population and Social Policies (IRPPS) of the National Research Council of Rome participated in this study. Results of the case study showed different associations between the sentence types and tone types both for tonic and pre-tonic parts of the sentences.
