Salvatore Alessandro Sarcia

Salvatore Alessandro Sarcia' received his laurea degree (*) in Computer Science (1994) and master's 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 - University of Maryland at College Park, MD, USA as a Visiting Scientist. 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). In 2011, he participated in Senior Course 117 at NATO Defense College in Rome. He defined a performance model which has been applied to the Italian Army. His current research interests are Artificial Neural Networks, Predictive Models, Metrics, Statistics, and Performance. He applies empirical techniques to conduct experiments on Software Engineering, Software Quality, Risk Analysis, and Performance.

(*) Laurea degree was the full university degree in Italy now transformed into 3 (bachelor's)+ 2 (master's) year degree.
