* I have taught in many courses of the computer engineering and computer science faculties such as: * automatic controls * object oriented programming * databases and data warehouses * semantic web, knowledge representation and reasoning * project management in the software industry * machine learning for image analysis.

I covered the roles of R&D project manager, customer acquisition specialist, and technical director. As R&D project manager, I led research and development projects in the following fields: - semantic technologies and knowledge management; - natural language processing, text analytics, and information extraction; - business intelligence and data mining. As customer acquisition specialist I organized and led customer meeting, product demos, functional analysis meeting, etc. As technical director I led projects aimed at implementing software products and solutions in the fields of semantic technologies, information extraction, transportation & logistics, knowledge management, business intelligence and analytics. Such projects were aiming at implementing solutions and software products for customers in health care, financial services, logistics, IT industries.

I worked as scientist, platform architect, and customer acquisition specialist,. As scientist and platform architect I designed and developed, by leading a workgroup of many software engineers, semantic technologies for information extraction from Web and pdf documents. As customer acquisition specialist I organized and led customer meeting, product demos, business and functional analysis sessions.

I designed and developed the total quality and configuration management systems of the company. I led the total quality management workgroup.

* I'm researcher at the High Performance Computing and Networking Institute of the Italian National Research Council. * My research interest are: * Information Extraction, Table Extraction, Wrapper Induction for Web and PDF Documents. * Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Semantic Web (Ontology Representation, Querying Languages, Ontology Engineering, Ontology Mapping and Alignment, Ontology-based Database Access). * Semantic Technologies (Semantic Annotation and Classification, Semantic Metadata Extraction). * Data and Text Mining (Document Classification and Categorization, Terminology Extraction, Concepts Recognition, Taxonomy induction). * Document Layout Analysis, Document Understanding, Page Segmentation. * Big Data Management and Analytics. * Machine Intelligence. * For a more detailed list of my publications see: * http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/indices/a-tree/r/Ruffolo:Massimo.html
