Salvatore Alessandro Sarcia' received his laurea degree in Computer Science (1994) and master degree with honors in Strategy and Project Management (2001) from the University of Torino (Italy). He received his second laurea degree in Politics (2004) from the University of Trieste (Italy). He holds a Ph.D. in Informatics and Automation Engineering from the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (Italy). In 2006-08, he was with the Department of Computer Science of the University of Maryland (College Park, MD, USA) as a Faculty Research Assistant. In 2009, he was a Contract Professor of object-oriented programming  at the Department of Engineering of the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” (Italy) and an Adjunct Professor of Information Processing at the Department of Economics of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy). He collaborates with the Fraunhofer Center for Experimental Software Engineering Maryland (College Park, MD, USA). His research interests are Computational Intelligence, Artificial Neural Networks, Predictive Models, and Statistics. He applies empirical techniques to conduct experiments on Software Engineering, Software Quality, and Risk Analysis. He works for the General Financial Planning and Budgeting Division - Monitoring and Control Office at the Italy's Army Staff in Rome.
