Maurizio TUCCI | Curriculum

Maurizio Tucci was born in Portici in 1963. He received the Laurea Degree in Computer Science from the University of Salerno, Italy, in 1988. He was a research associate from 1992 to 1988, an associate professor from 1988 to 2000, and he is a full professor of Computer Science since 2000 at the University of Salerno. He was the director of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science from 2000 to 2006. From 2007 to 2010, he was President of the Board of Education of computer science Area of the University of Salerno.
His teaching activity mainly concerns Programming Languages and Computer Systems. His research interests include:
- formal models for visual environment design and development;
- image iconic indexing
- software engineering
Maurizio Tucci developed formal tools to describe the syntax and semantics of visual languages, and indexing techniques for image databases providing an efficient mean to content-based retrieval of images. These indexing techniques are based on spatial, directional and topological relations, on fractal encoding, and on edge detection and representation. The techniques have been experimentally applied to homogeneous and heterogeneous image databases. In the software engineering field he worked on an system for the development and maintenance of programs that integrates an expandable set of tools operating on a common form of representation of programs.
Maurizio Tucci was the Program Chair of the first two editions of the "Multimedia Databases and Image Communication" International Workshop, held in Salerno and Amalfi in October 1999 and September 2001, respectively. He also was the director of a summer school on "Multimedia Databases and Image Communication", in September 2001.
