Research interests

I am a researcher at LABSS (Laboratory of Agent Based Social Simulation, http://labss.istc.cnr.it) at ISTC/CNR (Institute for Cognitive Science and Technology), Rome.

I'm studying and applying multiagent-based social simulation and agent theory to understand social artefacts, in particular Reputation, Norms, Responsibility, and the cultural evolutionary mechanisms that support them. My publications include a book on reputation with Rosaria Conte and articles on JASSS and Adaptive Behavior.

My h-index is 8.

Institutional Roles

I am the coordinator of the workgroup on "Artificial Societes and Social Simulation" (in Italian)

The Reputation Conference

I have organized the first International Conference on Reputation, ICORE'09.

Projects

I have been the scientific coordinator of the eRep "Social Knowledge for e-Governance" project; check the eRep booklet to have an overview of the results.I am unit coordinator for the FIRB-Socrate project. I'm also participating to the EMIL project on norm innovation.

PC Membership

I am a member of the following program committees:

I have presented an invited talk at WOA 2009 - Decimo Workshop Nazionale "Dagli Oggetti agli Agenti", with the title Reputation in action: from cognitive theory to online systems. Slides here.

Organization of Scientific Events

I have chaired the RASTA '02 and RASTA '03 workshops, the RAS '04 workshop, and the MABS 2007 workshop. I have participated in the program committee of several conferences and worshops, including the MABS series.

Teaching and Scientific Diffusion

I'm teaching a course on Social Simulation at the University of Bologna. I've been teaching Java language at the University Of Perugia and Data Bases at the University of Rome 1. I have produced, as the result of the eRep project, the eRep booklet

Dissemination Articles

(in italian)
