Giordano Dionisi, as a fellow, completely renewed Viri as a web service. Among the other news, now users can either anonymously use Viri, or register and make their files publicly available. Moreover, it is possible to use files from any tools for generating reconciliations, e.g. Capibara.
Giordano was supervised by Tiziana Calamoneri, Maurizio Patrignani and Blerina Sinaimeri.
October 2019
For his Degree in Engineering and Computer Science Carlo Iurato transformed Viri 1.0 into a service, allowing several users to interact with the server at the same time. Users can upload their preferred reconciliations, composed by the input (.nex) and ouput (.out) files of the Eucalypt program and the uploaded instances are shared among the users.
Carlo was supervised by Maurizio Patrignani.
March 2018
Luca Lauro, for his Master Degree in Engineerig and Computer Science, implemented two further heuristics to be added to the previous version. He was supervised by Maurizio Patrignani.
October 2017
Diego Mariottini for his Master Degree in Engineerig and Computer Science realized a full project with several heuristics for the drawing of planar and non-planar reconciliations of co-philogenetic trees. The system realized by Diego was a stand-alone system and did not allow the upload of new instances (Viri 1.0 had a collection of pre-loaded .nex files). The system was responsible for computing the reconciliations with the parameter specified by the user, launching the Eucalypt tool. Obviously, only one user was allowed. Diego's thesis was supervised by Tiziana Calamoneri, Valentino Di Donato, and Maurizio Patrignani.
December 2015
First experiments. The first work on this visualization tool started with the graduation project of Riccardo Paparozzi in December 2015. Riccardo's thesis was supervised by Valentino Di Donato and Maurizio Patrignani. The first prototype of Viri only showed the potentials of this kind of visualization but didn't have an automatic tool to draw all possible reconciliations.
