%ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS
According to the PhD program regulations, theses are written in English. An abstract and keywords are mandatory, both in English and in Italian.  Try to make each fit on one page.

Start with a short paragraph setting up the context.
Move to a motivation paragraph for your research,
synthetically explaining the problem you targeted.
State the original contribution(s).

The abstract is followed by a list of four to six keywords. To be relevant and effective for indexing purposes, keywords must be chosen carefully.

\small
\textit{The PhD thesis is expected to present original research contributions developed during the PhD studies of the candidate. The thesis, as well as the research work, is developed under the guidance of a supervisor.}

\textit{The thesis may include previously published work by the candidate, provided that the previously published material is cited appropriately in the thesis and the contribution of the author is clarified. Materials derived from the work of other authors must be properly referenced in the thesis and, if the exact words are reported, they must be cited in quotes.}

\normalsize
According to the national legislation, all PhD theses are deposited at the National Libraries of Rome and Florence, where they can be consulted locally. The University takes care of the deposit into the National libraries. The candidates admitted to the final exam must deposit their thesis electronically before the final exam; the University stores and after the defense makes publicly available the electronic copy of the thesis through the federated open \texttt{fedOAtd} archive, where all theses are indexed and listed. 
Before depositing the thesis, the candidate may ask the PhD Board - through the PhD program Chairman - to determine restricted access to (parts of) the thesis, possibly setting a time limit, on the basis of motivated needs related to the use of data protected by trade or industrial secrets, according to the current national legislation.

\noindent\textbf{Keywords}: list from four to six keywords, separated by commas.

%ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS IN ITALIAN
La tesi di dottorato \`e redatta in lingua inglese. La tesi deve essere corredata da una sintesi (abstract) in lingua inglese e in lingua italiana. 
Cercare di limitare ciascuna sintesi ad una pagina.

\small
L'abstract \`e seguito da una lista da quattro a sei parole chiave. 
Le parole chiave devono essere scelte accuratamente per l'efficacia dell'indicizzazione e delle ricerche nelle banche dati.

La tesi \`e valutata da almeno due valutatori, anche appartenenti a istituzioni estere, non appartenenti all?ente che rilascia il titolo di dottorato e in possesso di elevata qualificazione, di cui almeno uno \`e un docente universitario. 

I valutatori, che possono appartenere a istituzioni estere o internazionali, entro trenta giorni dal ricevimento della tesi, esprimono un giudizio analitico scritto, proponendo l'ammissione alla discussione pubblica o il rinvio della discussione della tesi per un periodo non superiore a sei mesi se ritengono necessarie significative integrazioni o correzioni.

Trascorso il periodo di rinvio fissato dai valutatori, la tesi \`e in ogni caso ammessa alla discussione pubblica, corredata dal nuovo parere scritto dei medesimi valutatori. Il rinvio comporta l'obbligo di integrare e/o correggere la tesi e non determina un prolungamento della durata del corso di dottorato.

I candidati all'esame finale di dottorato devono depositare la propria tesi nel sistema di Ateneo \texttt{fedOAtd}. L'archivio garantisce la non consultabilit\`a on line di tutte le tesi ivi depositate e non ancora discusse. 

L'Universit\`a entro trenta giorni dalla discussione e approvazione della tesi deposita copia della stessa, in formato elettronico, nella banca dati ministeriale.

L'Universit\`a, inoltre, archivia e rende consultabile in rete il testo completo della tesi di dottorato attraverso l'Archivio istituzionale ad accesso aperto \texttt{fedOAtd} e cura il deposito della tesi stessa presso le biblioteche nazionali di Roma e di Firenze.

Previa autorizzazione del Collegio dei Docenti, possono essere rese indisponibili, eventualmente anche fissando un limite temporale, parti della tesi in relazione all'utilizzo di dati tutelati da segreto industriale ai sensi della normativa vigente.

%
% ======================================================================
% Modification History:
%
%  9 Oct 1990   JDS	used more robust bbox reading code from Tom Rokicki
% 29 Mar 1991   JDS	implemented rotation= option
% 25 Jun 1991   RR	if bb specified on cmd line don't check
%			for .ps file.
%  3 Jul 1991	JDS	check if file already read in once
%  4 Sep 1991	JDS	fixed incorrect computation of rotated
%			bounding box
% 25 Sep 1991	GVR	expanded synopsis of \psfig
% 14 Oct 1991	JDS	\fbox code from LaTeX so \psdraft works with TeX
%			changed \typeout to \ps@typeout
% 17 Oct 1991	JDS	added \psscalefirst and \psrotatefirst
% 23 Jun 1993   KHC     ``doclip'' must appear before ``rotate''
% 27 Oct 1993   TJD	removed printing of filename to avoid 
%			underscore problems. changed \frame to \fbox.
%			Added OzTeX support from BG. Added new
%			figure search path code from GT.
%
% ======================================================================
%
% Command synopsis:
%
% \psdraft	draws an outline box, but doesn't include the figure
%		in the DVI file.  Useful for previewing.
%
% \psfull	includes the figure in the DVI file (default).
%
% \psscalefirst width= or height= specifies the size of the figure
% 		before rotation.
% \psrotatefirst (default) width= or height= specifies the size of the
% 		 figure after rotation.  Asymetric figures will
% 		 appear to shrink.
%
% \psfigurepath{dir:dir:...}  sets the path to search for the figure
%
% \psfig
% usage: \psfig{file=, figure=, height=, width=,
%			bbllx=, bblly=, bburx=, bbury=,
%			rheight=, rwidth=, clip=, angle=, silent=}
%
%	"file" is the filename.  If no path name is specified and the
%		file is not found in the current directory,
%		it will be looked for in directory \psfigurepath.
%	"figure" is a synonym for "file".
%	By default, the width and height of the figure are taken from
%		the BoundingBox of the figure.
%	If "width" is specified, the figure is scaled so that it has
%		the specified width.  Its height changes proportionately.
%	If "height" is specified, the figure is scaled so that it has
%		the specified height.  Its width changes proportionately.
%	If both "width" and "height" are specified, the figure is scaled
%		anamorphically.
%	"bbllx", "bblly", "bburx", and "bbury" control the PostScript
%		BoundingBox.  If these four values are specified
%               *before* the "file" option, the PSFIG will not try to
%               open the PostScript file.
%	"rheight" and "rwidth" are the reserved height and width
%		of the figure, i.e., how big TeX actually thinks
%		the figure is.  They default to "width" and "height".
%	The "clip" option ensures that no portion of the figure will
%		appear outside its BoundingBox.  "clip=" is a switch and
%		takes no value, but the `=' must be present.
%	The "angle" option specifies the angle of rotation (degrees, ccw).
%	The "silent" option makes \psfig work silently.
