Current Position Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Calabria, Italy. Biographic Notes I was born in Lamezia Terme (Italy) on October 7th, 1976. I received my "Laurea" degree (pretty equivalent to an Msc degree) in Mathematics in 2000, from the University of Calabria. From April to October 1999 and from April to July 2000, I visited the Institut fur Informationssysteme in the Technische Universitat of Vienna, being on a research grant from the Austrian Science Fund to work on the project "A Query System for Disjunctive Deductive Databases”, P11580-MAT. From June 2001 to December 2004 I worked as research fellow at the Department of Mathematics, University of Calabria, being on a research grant (SSD INF/01). The title was "Formalismi Logici per la Rappresentazione della Conoscenza: Tecniche di Calcolo ed Ottimizzazione". In February 2005 I received the PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science at the Department of Mathematics, University of Calabria. From January 2005 to December 2015 I worked as tenured Assistant Professor (Ricercatore) at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Calabria. Since January 2016 I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Calabria. Research Activities My main research interests are in the area of Logic and Artificial Intelligence, and more in particular, my research activity concerns Knowledge Representation, Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Logic Programming, and Answer Set Programming (ASP). Briefly, the most relevant results concern the following topics: design and implementation of knowledge base systems, language extensions, techniques for the efficient evaluation of ASP programs, applications of Answer Set Programming.

Scientific Research Activities ------------------------------ My main research interests are in the area of Logic and Artificial Intelligence, and more in particular, my research activity concerns Knowledge Representation, Nonmonotonic Reasoning, Logic Programming, and Answer Set Programming (ASP). Briefly, the most relevant results concern the following topics: - design and implementation of knowledge base systems, - linguistic extensions of Answer Set programming, - design and implementation of advanced techniques for the efficient evaluation of ASP programs, - design and implementation of tools for developing ASP based applications - applications of Answer Set Programming. Notably, I am a member of the DLV team (http://www.dlvsystem.com), an Artificial Intelligence System which is recognized as the state-of-the-art among Disjunctive Logic Programming Systems. DLV is currently used by Universities and research centers all over the world; its user manual has been recently translated even into Russian and Polish (see http://www.dlvsystem.com). Research Projects ----------------- I've been involved in the following research projects: - KnowRex: Un sistema per il riconoscimento e l’estrazione di conoscenza POR Calabria FESR 2007-2013 - LINEA D’INTERVENTO 7.1.4.1 - Avviso pubblico PIA - Pacchetti Integrati di Agevolazione, BURC n. 49, Supplemento Straordinario n. 1 del 16/12/2010. The project aims to the creation of a system for the representation and the extraction of knowledge, based on ontologies and information extraction techniques and answer set programming. - ITravel, within the project “PIA - Pacchetti Integrati di Agevolazione Industria, Artigianato e Servizi” fostered by Regione Calabria (Deliberazione G.R. n. 220 del 19/03/2008). The project led to the realization of an intelligent system supporting travel agencies. - "FRAME Un FRAmework flessibile ed espandibile, fondato su MEtodologie e strumenti basati sulla conoscenza, per il consolidamento e la gestione ottimizzata di sistemi informativi complessi" code PON01_02477. The project, funded by MIUR within the National Operational Programme (Programma Operativo Nazionale, PON) "Research and Competitiveness 2007-2013", aims at the creation of a framework supporting and making more efficient the use of corporate applications and informative bases, even if unstructured and with multimedia content, in a logic of service composition. The partners involved are: Siemens/Altos (leader), Exeura S.R.l., the University of Calabria, the Institute of High Performance Computing and Networking (Istituto di Calcolo e Reti ad alte Prestazioni, ICAR-CNR). - "E-Voting", carried out from ID Technology srl and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Calabria, within the program "PIA - Pacchetti Integrati di Agevolazione Industria, Artigianato e Servizi", fostered by the Regione Calabria. The aim is to provide software and services (SAAS, Software As A Service) for managing electoral consultations by enterprises or any kind of organizations that need to ask their members for opinions, or the choice of representatives. - "OpenKnowTech: Laboratorio di Tecnologie per la Integrazione, Gestione e Distribuzione di Dati, Processi e Conoscenze", aiming at developing a lab of open-source software technologies, in the context of a "distributed" and "federated" interoperability platform. - "Estensioni e Verticalizzazioni del Sistema di Intelligenza Artificiale DLV", led by DLVSYSTEM srl together with the Department of Mathematics of the University of Calabria, within the program "PIA - Pacchetti Integrati di Agevolazione Industria, Artigianato e Servizi", fostered by the Regione Calabria.
