Explanation about WASA Homework evaluations
I have been receiving emails inquiring about the schedule for homework evaluations. Although all the information is available on the website, I would like to summarize it here for clarity.

- Holidays (including Sundays, national holidays, academic calendar holidays, August)
- The Wednesdays during appeal weeks
Additionally, prior to each appeal period, we evaluate homework daily on the following schedule:
| Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun | Mon | Tue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | Exam |
Evaluations start in the late morning generally, and results are published in the late afternoon tipically.

Lesson: Containers
- Containers introduction
- Homework 4 is open: you must create two
Dockerfiles: one namedDockerfile.frontendfor the frontend part, one namedDockerfile.backendfor the backend part. - On WASA book, chapter 7 you can find a detailed description about how to create the two
Dockerfiles.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Today I made an extraordinary evaluation because some student reported to me that we missed to evaluate their homeworks. Please check your grades/comments.
- Tomorrow, I will make the last hw evaluation of 2024. Evaluations will start again on Wednesday, 8 January, 2025.
- Exams will be on:
- Tuesday, 28 January
- Tuesday, 18 February
- Please book on Infostud today to avoid forgetting it.
- The final evaluations will be on the Thursday before the appeals (i.e., 23 January and 13 February)
- It is the last lesson today. No class on thursday dec 19. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
Exams FAQ
- We can not find the exam on Infostud to register for it. Is there another way to register?
- I opened the appeals; please try again.
- We also want to know when exactly the oral exams will take place, because on we have a different exam at 14:00.
- The exams will take place the whole day. It is not possible for another exam to be scheduled on that day for the same program and the same year. In fact, they carefully avoided any overlaps, and official exam schedules were published. Should it be so, please contact the secretariat at segreteria.didattica@di.uniroma1.it
- Is it possible to ensure that we can attend the oral exam before 2:00PM?
- No. As I said, exams might continue till 7 pm, depending on the number of students

Announcement: Honors Program 2024/25
The call for applications for the honors program 2024/25 is out.
The GamificatioLab - Prof. Panizzi - proposes the following two research topics:
- Al-powered Generation of Realistic Vehicle Trip Simulations for Multimodal Applications. This project develops an Al framework to create realistic vehicle travel simulations, supporting navigation optimization, parking management simulation, and synthetic population generation. Utilizing advanced models such as GANs and generative models, the framework will produce detailed journeys with data on inertial movements, fuel, or energy consumption, while accounting for traffic, weather, and road types. The student will integrate datasets and Al techniques to ensure simulations are accurate and versatile, reflecting real-world scenarios. This work will contribute to the advancement of intelligent transportation systems and research on multimodal mobility.
- Innovative Interaction Design: Exploring Implicit Interfaces with Large Language Models and Multi-Agent Systems This project explores the design and evaluation of implicit user interfaces, context-aware systems that operate without explicit commands. Students will develop customized Al assistants for multi- agent contexts, leveraging GPT technology to address the needs of implicit interactions. The program includes the development of GPT models optimized for collaborative tasks, while applying advanced evaluation criteria to assess the effectiveness and user experience of these implicit systems. Through experimentation, system customization, and innovative methodologies, the project prepares students to redefine interaction paradigms in Al-driven environments.

On Thursday, December 12th, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. will take place the 52nd ITMeeting, the six-monthly meeting between undergraduates and recent graduates of the Sapienza Computer Science Degree Courses and companies producing or large users of IT solutions.
The meeting will be held from 9:00 to 16:00 in Viale Regina Elena 295, Building D
During the day, it will be possible to hold 10-minute interviews with each company and to attend the presentations of their activities, job opportunities,and offers for degree theses and internships. Classes for third-year bachelor’s and second-year master’s students will be suspended.
A few days before the event, each student will be provided with a summary document of the day, also containing the times of their own interviews with the individual companies.
Students can participate in the interviews upon registration on the form.

Lesson: HTML and CSS
Note on the login in the project
In the WASAtext project, we asked for a kind of login functionality and provided instructions on how to implement it. Despite its name, we intended it as a means for you to test your web application and to demonstrate it at the exam.
So it is not a proper login and has no security capabilities. It is more of a way to create users in your system and impersonate them to test that it works properly.
For example, after creating two users, Mario and Luigi, you can impersonate Mario and send a message to Luigi, then impersonate Luigi read and reply to Mario’s message.
Please refrain from implementing an entire authentication system, using well-formed tokens, or designing different APIs than the one provided for this functionality!

---
# 1) Define the security scheme type (HTTP bearer)
components:
securitySchemes:
bearerAuth: # arbitrary name for the security scheme
type: http
scheme: bearer
# 2) Apply the security globally to all operations
security:
- bearerAuth: [] # use the same name as above
# 3) You can override security scheme in single operations, e.g.:
security: [] # No security

- Homework 1: OpenAPI document
Tuesday, 29 October 2024
Practice: Fountains
Exercise
Define the API for the Fountains project (fountains are called Fontanelle or Nasoni in Rome). The Fountains project includes a mobile app that allows citizens and tourists to explore nearby drinking fountains.
In Rome, drinking water is available thanks to little public fountains, also known as “nasoni” (“large noses”, due to their nose-like shape). They were installed in the late 1800 by the local municipalities in the capital city and nearby areas. More than 2500 are still working. The “Fountains” project includes a mobile app that allows citizens and tourists to explore nearby drinking fountains (see their location and status). Also, they will be able to change the status or location of any fountains, add missing fountains, and remove those that are no longer present. A fountain’s status is “good” when it is in working condition and “faulty” if broken. The app will communicate with a central server via REST and JSON - no information is stored locally in the smartphone. No authentication is needed, nor is user identification.
