Professional Profile of Paolo Rocchi
Paolo Rocchi received his degree in physics from the University La Sapienza of Rome in 1969 and was associated to the same Institute of Physics as an assistant. Next year he joined IBM where he worked as A researcher and teacher for nearly forty years. Upon retirement in 2010 has been recognized as an Emeritus Docent at IBM for his achievements in basic and applied research. Presently he is also an Adjunct Professor at Luiss University of Rome. Rocchi began his career as an expert of computer assisted instruction (CAI) and managed a project with regard to CAI in collaboration with the IBM Scientific Centers. Later on he implemented 'CIDI' a trail-blazing application, and was qualified as an "IBM inventor" for this linguistic software product, which ran for decades. He led inquiries on the natural language used in professional environments in collaboration with Prof. Roberto Busa. Rocchi took interest in computer security in the early seventies, as one of the pioneers in this field, and wrote a book on this topic. Later on, Rocchi started an inquiry upon the principles of computer systems. This topic, crossing various disciplines, involved multiple investigations for over fifteen years with the aid of a small team of ibmers and academicians. The philosophical scenario and the formal key results began to be published in the nineties. Besides integration purposes, this work provided specific contributions in some fields such as information theory, software methodology, edp analysis, and artificial intelligence. In addition this work yielded a rather natural introduction to computing and IBM released a novel course in Italy and abroad. During the same decades, Rocchi produced results in probability theory, in particular he focused on the interpretation of probability, an issue debated since three centuries, and also looked into the base issues of quantum mechanics. Rocchi has introduced a new form of entropy to calculate the reliability and reparability of systems. Now and then he serves on various journals and congress organizations as reviewer, chair etc. *** |
