sarcia  @  onese . org                                                          Resume in PDF

Salvatore Alessandro Sarcia' received his Laurea degree (*) in Computer Science (1994) and master's degree with honors in Strategic Management (2001) from the University of Torino (Italy). He received his second laurea degree (*) in International Political Science - Economics (2004) from the University of Trieste (Italy). He holds a Ph.D. in Informatics/Computer Science 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 advised by Prof.Dr. Victor Robert BASILI. 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 is applied to the Italian Army. His current research interests are Innovation and Technology in the Military field, Capability development, Game Theory, Artificial Neural Networks, Artificial Intelligence, Predictive Models, Measurement, Statistics, and Performance. He applies empirical techniques to conduct experiments on Software Engineering, Software Quality, Risk Analysis, Game Theory and Performance.

From 2021, he is the head of capability planning unit at the Italian Permanent Representative to NATO/EU-EU area (EUMC, EDA), Brussels, Belgium.

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