He is Senior Scientist at ISTI-CNR working in the field of theoretical and applied computer vision.His fields of research are image analysis, pictorial information systems, spatial modelling and intelligent processes for image understanding.
He is scientific coordinator of the activity on "Representation and Communication of Data and Metadata" in the EU Network of Excellence MUSCLE, Multimedia Understanding through Semantics, Computation and Learning.He is co-author of three books and monographs and more than three hundreds technical and scientific articles; he is also owner of ten patents regarding systems and software tools for image analysis.Dr. Salvetti has been scientific co-ordinator of several National and European research and industrial projects, in collaboration with Italian and foreign researc4h groups, in the fields of computer vision and high-performance computing for diagnostic imaging.He was vice-coordinator of the Subproject ‘Dedicated Processors’ of the CNR Finalised Programme ‘Information Systems and Parallel Computation’ and one of the promoters of the CNR Strategic Project ‘Knowledge through Images’.He is member of the Editorial Boards of the International Journals ‘G. Ronchi Foundation Acts’ and ‘Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis’. He is at present the CNR Contact Person in ERCIM (the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics) for the Working Group on ‘Vision and Image Understanding’ and Member of IEEE and Head of the Signals and Images Lab at ISTI.

Patrizia Asirelli
Research interests have concerned Logic Programming and its applications. In particular her background is on Integrity Constraints for Deductive Databases; Semantic Integration of Deductive and/or Knowledge bases, with concerns on Languages for Mediation; Security issues, focusing on Access Control Policies.
At present her research interests regards the application of previous issues to the Semantic Web, this includes: multimedia metadata handling, logic / knowledge representation, and all issues related to ontology.
In the past years she has been responsible of many Research Projects; Head of the Language and Operating System Group at ISTI; Secretary of GULP (the Italian Association for Logic Programming); Deputy Leader of the Database Research Group of ERCIM, Scientific Officer for Mathematics and Information Technology at INTAS (Bruxelles).

Our Goals
● To grant interaction between different communities in the MUSCLE NoE(vision, speech, text, ML, etc.)
● To define a strategy for the NoE to develop, maintain and provide an integrated metadata service able to support multiple meta-data standards, multiple users and the management of distributed and heterogeneous data, metadata and methodologies
● To act as facilitator in the communication, exchange and interoperability by advising on common formats, creating exchange interfaces, establishing additional standards where needed and formats for meta-data
● To establish a liaison with Standardization Bodies (W3C,...)● Automated retrieval of image analysis algorithms;● Automated construction and combination of algorithms

Multimedia MetadataMultimedia Metadata
Background• Multimedia data coming
from different fields• Metadata production,
storing, retrieve, elaboration
Key tools: • MPEG-7 provides detailed
and multimedia specific metadata descriptors.
• Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, etc), promoted by the W3C, enable large scale interoperability of structured knowledge repositories.

• Approach to the integration of 4M based on Semantic Web - state-of-the-art considered
• Java-based Infrastructure for– MPEG-7 features processing,– XML database managing,– algorithms ontology exploiting, – multimedia semantic annotating,– functions integrating.
• Different contexts: P2P, semi-authoritative, cluster.

Multimedia OntologiesMultimedia OntologiesTo represent characteristics at different levels:
Low level Multimedia Object characteristics (media-dependent features etc.) High level - semantic information/annotations, algorithms, processes,
services, workflow, user preferences, etc.
With different purposes: Annotation, Retrieve, Reasoning, etc.
+Harmonization of existing ontology (modularization, combination/linking
of ontology, integration)
Core ontology->Upper Ontology
=>Need for a Common Multimedia Ontology Framework Contribute to the Call for Common Multimedia Ontology Framework for the definition
of a “meta”-ontology for multimedia objects.

Formal Method & Tool Laboratory at ISTI
Active in the fields of development and application of formal notations, methods and software support tools for the specification, design and verification of complex computer systems.
These systems often must meet real-time, security constraints and are used in safety-critical missions where also human factors play a major role.
In particular, we are currently involved in research activities in the areas of: • Model-checking algorithms,tools and applications• Quantitative extensions of Process Algebras e related tools• Formal Approaches to the modeling of Human-Computer Interaction• Precise UML• Formal Approaches to Requirements Engineering • Integration of process-algebraic, state-based and functional specification models

SENSORIA IP : Software Engineering for Service-Oriented Overlay Computers (IST-3-016004-IP-09 2005-2008)
Sensoria Service Ontology:The aim of the ontology is
– to provide a terminological background to enhance the integrationamong the work packages
– to define a basic set of concepts to include in languages for the design of service-oriented systems (high-level and user-oriented perspective)
