Current Position and Short Bio Gianluigi Greco is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at University of Calabria, where he coordinates the Quality Assurance Unit for the aspects related to the research (“Coordinatore della Ricerca - Presidio della Qualità di Ateneo”). He has been habilitated as Full Professor in Computer Science. He received the PhD in Computer Science from the University of Calabria in 2005. He was a visiting PhD student at the Vienna University of Technology (2004) and a visiting researcher at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory (2006). He was a research associate at the ICAR institute of the National Research Council (2011 and 2012) and was appointed as an Invited Professor at the LAMSADE Department of the University of Paris-Dauphine (2014). In 2005, he co-founded the Artémat company, a spin-off offering software and services for recruitment and managerial formation. Artémat developed and maintains a business game platform, where artificial intelligence techniques are combined with game theory approaches to simulate strategic behaviors over economic models of markets. In 2011, he co-founded the IDUM company, a spin-off offering a platform for e-tourism with advanced reasoning capabilities. The platform is based on an ontological modeling of the domain (via disjunctive logic programs/answer set programming) and on mechanisms for intelligent (travel) recommendations. Research Interests and Competences for the Project His research activities are focused on the theoretical foundations of Artificial Intelligence. He published in the top AI journals Artificial Intelligence (5 works) and Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (3), as well as in the top AI conference IJCAI (10). Moreover, he published AI-related theoretical results in the most prestigious venues for (theoretical) computer science, computational logics, database theory, and data mining, including Journal of the ACM, Journal of Computer and System Sciences (2), ACM Transaction on Computational Logics, ACM Transaction on Database Systems, ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data, Theoretical Computer Science (2), Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (2), and IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (5). Since 2005, he has been studying formal aspects of process management, with emphasis on both reasoning and learning tasks; in fact, he contributed to the formation of the Business Process Intelligence world-wide research community, as it is witness by its participation as program committee member to eleven editions of the BPI international workshop. Besides these competences, Gianluigi Greco can support the research activities of the project with his strong expertise in the study of the computational complexity of reasoning tasks, maturated with the analysis of formal approaches in the area of multi-agent systems, constraint satisfaction and game theory. In particular, he is a well-known expert in the identification of islands of tractability for NP-hard problems, which is a topic of utmost importance in the proposal in order to identify logical fragments which might likely be supported by an efficient implementation. Moreover, Gianluigi Greco can play a key role in the study of the ASP rewritings and in the definition of a concrete support for their evaluation and optimization. Indeed, since 2004, he has been spending several efforts to study evaluation strategies for logic programs and for applying these techniques to concrete application domains. For instance, he authored a number of influential papers using logic programming in the context of the design of data integration systems. Awards and Further Achievements ● In 2014, Gianluigi Greco received the Kurt Gödel Research Prize, awarded by the Kurt Gödel Society and accompanied by fellowship in the amount of EUR 100.000.
