Other activities in relation to the project:

Pierluigi Ritrovato obtained the B.S. degree in Computer Science at the University of Salerno in 1992. In 1994 he became scientific collaborator at DIIMA (Department of Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics - University of Salerno) carrying out research activities in Software Engineering (with emphasis on software process and software estimation model such as CO.CO.MO, Function Point, etc.), Object Oriented Methodology and Databases fields. Then, in 1996 he became Project Manager for CRMPA Consortium (Research Centre in Pure and Applied Mathematics) leading research and development projects in the fields of CSCW, Information Systems, Distributed Systems, GRID and Internet Technologies.
At present he is the Manager for CRMPA and in the last two years, he has been focusing his scientific research activities on GRID technologies. In this field his main interests are on the realisation of domain specific GRID using Commodity Technologies (e.g., Microsoft, NET, CORBA, JAVA, JINI, P2P, etc.) and the study and evaluation of how to modify the general grid architecture in order to realise domain specific solution in the learning and simulation fields. He is the Scientific Coordinator of ELeGI (European Learning GRID) and of GRASP (GRID based Application Service Provision) projects both funded by the European Commission in VI and V Framework Research Programme respectively. Moreover, he has been appointed by the European Commission as Locomotors for the “Learning GRID” Working Group established in the frame of EU-US Cooperation programme on Science and Technologies for Learning (http://eu-us.proacte.com/domains/elearning.htm).
He is also Technology Manager and Workpackage coordinator for the Centre of Excellence (C.o.E.) “Methods and systems for learning & knowledge”. The CoE, coordinated by DIIMA, is supported by the MIUR (the Italian Ministry for education, university and research). It is the only initiative in the learning and knowledge area approved by the Italian government. Its general objective is to study, apply and validate a unitary approach to learning and knowledge based on experience and induction in different fields and, accordingly, different procedures, at two different levels: interaction/experience and simulation/induction.
