Some projects I managed or I am currently working on:

• In the 80s I developed at Olivetti Systems & Networks an expert system for configuring minicoputers.
• From 1989 to 2001 I developed decision support systems (DSS) for managing structural and environmental safety; some of the expert systems for the interpretation of monitoring data which I deployed are still in use:
  • Mistral, a DSS for managing dam safety (installed on several dams in Italy: Ridracoli, Pieve di Cadore, Cancano, Fusino, Valgrosina, San Giacomo), main result of the project DAMSAFE ([1] and [2]);
  • Kaleidos, a DSS for managing the safety of several monuments in Pavia: Cathedral and Towers of San Dalmazio, Belcredi, Maino, Orologio, Carmine, Università;
  • Eydenet, a DSS for interpreting monitoring data from landslides, installed at Spriana, Valpola, Val Torreggio, Campofranscia, Rosone, Semogo, Saviore, Ruinon, Citrin, Bosmatto, Becca di Nona, Vollein.
• From 1997 to 2001 I managed the development of IPACS, a web tool to deal with early age concrete crack prediction in engineering practice (Brite EuRam Contract No. BRPR-CT97-0437).
• From 1999 to 2001 I took part to the development of a Web based system, called SITUS, to support the management of multimedia information for archaeological sites (Progetto MURST, Ministero dell'Universita e della Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica Rif. 179203-1 3541494, Consorzio CORARC).
• Since 2005 I am working on a project related to podcasting; I have set up and manage a podcasting service at the Univestity of Bergamo, PLURIVERSIRADIO, freely accessible by any Web user; Pluri is based on a free and open source software, Podcast Generator, written as a part of the thesis of a former student of mine, who is currently one of my most precious assistants, Alberto Betella.
