I am a member, since 2002, of the Artificial Intelligence Research Group at the Department of Computer Science, Systems, and Production in the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". I have graduated in Engineering & Computer Science in 2002 with a thesis on "Ontological Mediation in a community of Intelligent Linguistic Agents" and took my PhD in 2006 with a thesis on Alignment and Mediation of Distributed Information Sources in the Semantic Web.
