Marco Aiello (born September 3, 1972) is an Italian-German computer scientist, author[1] and professor.[2]

Early Life and Professional career

edit

In 2002, Aiello obtained his PhD on modal logics of space with applications to document understanding and image retrieval.[3] The work culminated in the collective work published as the Handbook of Spatial Logic.[4]When he moved to the  University of Trento in 2002, he became interested in service-oriented computing and the problem of service composition.[5]

He spent 2017 on sabbatical leave at the University of Macquarie, Sydney, to work on his book about the Web. Inspired by a quote from Alan Kay, the book is a report and interpretation of the history of the Web, analyzing its strengths, weaknesses, and reasons for success.[6]

In 2018, he accepted the offer of the position of professor and head of the service computing department at the Institute for Architecture of Application Systems (IAAS) at the University of Stuttgart.[7]  During his tenure at Stuttgart, Aiello’s research focused on AI Planning for service composition, AI Planning for robot navigation, topological considerations in smart grids, and green ICT with particular attention to data center operations, microgrids, and electric vehicle interactions.[8]
