SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS
Since 2010, within DIAG, Andrea Marrella supervised and co-supervised:
- 1 M.sc. student and 27 B.sc. students in Engineering in Management Science on the topics of process choreography design, data quality and big data management through NoSQL technologies.
- 9 M.sc. students and 1 B.sc. student in Engineering in Computer Science on the topics of software learnability, conformance checking, process mining on databases, process repair, process adaptation and process resilience in cyber-physical and IoT-based environments.
Moreover, he co-supervised 2 M.sc theses in Computer Science for Software Engineering at the University of Tartu (Estonia) on the topics of process discovery and adaptation. Notably, many of his M.sc. students completed their degree with the highest honours and some of them published the results of their thesis in international peer-reviewed scientific workshops and conferences.
PARTICIPATION IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
Andrea Marrella is the principal investigator of the research project (progetto di Avvio alla Ricerca) DAKIP (“Data-aware Adaptation of Knowledge-intensive Processes in Cyber-Physical Domains through Action-based Languages”), which has been funded by Sapienza Università di Roma in 2016. Moreover, he is/has been actively involved in several research projects, including WORKPAD (FP6 European Project) and the Italian projects MAIS, TESTMED, SUPER, FIGO, NEPTIS (as OR Leader), IT-SHIRTS (as WP Leader) and ACI-I.
The research activity of Andrea Marrella concerns theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects in different areas of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, including Business Process Management, Modelling, Adaptation, Mining and Resilience, Knowledge Representation, Reasoning about Action, Automated Planning, Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Design. Such topics are challenged in the application domains of eGovernment, smart manufacturing, healthcare and emergency management.
Andrea Marrella was invited to present the results of his research at various institutions worldwide, including University of Toronto (Canada) and York University (Canada) in 2012, Ryerson University (Canada) in 2013, University of Vienna (Austria) and University of Ulm (Germany) in 2014, and University of Tartu (Estonia) in 2016. Furthermore, he was invited to organize and give a full-day tutorial on Process Mining at 18th International Conference on Product-Focused Software Process Improvement (PROFES 2017).
Since 2010, Andrea Marrella has developed a research program aimed at investigating how to integrate the solid theoretical foundations provided by Artificial Intelligent techniques with the practical needs required by Business Process Management solutions. Thanks to the recognized results of his research, in 2017 he was invited to give the keynote talk at the 1st International Workshop on BP Innovation with AI (BPAI’17) organized within the BPM’17 conference, where he presented (as a single author) his research on “What Automated Planning can do for BPM”.
