CNR



Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) is the largest public research institution in Italy, the only one under the Research Ministry performing multidisciplinary activities.

Founded as legal person on 18 November 1923, CNR’s mission is to perform research in its own Institutes, to promote innovation and competitiveness of the national industrial system, to promote the internationalization of the national research system, to provide technologies and solutions to emerging public and private needs, to advice Government and other public bodies, and to contribute to the qualification of human resources.

In the Cnr's research world, the main resource is the available knowledge which means people, with their skills, commitment and ideas. This capital comprises more than 8.000 employees, of whom more than half are researchers and technologists. Some 4.000 young researchers are engaged in postgraduate studies and research training at CNR within the organization’s top-priority areas of interest. A significant contribution also comes from research associates: researchers, from Universities or private firms, who take part in CNRs research activities.

In SMARTOUR Project CNR team is composed by researchers working in three different institutes: the Istituto per la Applicazioni del Calcolo “M. Picone” (IAC), the Istituto di analisi dei Sistemi ed Informatica “Antonio Ruberti” (IASI) and the Istituto di Ricerca su Innovazione e Servizi per lo Sviluppo (IRISS).

IAC: The specific mission of the Institute is "to develop highly advanced mathematical, statistical and computational methods in order to solve, in a mostly interdisciplinary context, problems with strong relevance to society and industry". Applications can be found in many fields having direct impact on the society such as engineering (material science, turbulence, Bose-Einstein condensation, microflows), medical sciences and biology (medical image processing, genomics, the human immune system, blood flow), environment (analysis of satellite data for earth observation, modelling icefield processes on polar lithosphere), transportation (urban traffic modeling), finance and economics (optimization of the management of the Public Debt in Italy, micro-dynamics of financial markets), cultural heritage (degradation of ancient monuments), manufacturing (robotics, computer vision, scheduling problems), computer science (networks, security). IAC holds facilities (several Intel multi-core processor units with terabytes of data storage and some terabyte of volatile memory) to support the development, debugging and testing of the computational models. Moreover, CNR is part of the CINECA consortium, the largest Italian supercomputing centre.

IASI: Our mission is to design formal models and to use them to understand, control and optimize the behavior of complex systems. We develop methods and tools in different disciplines: Discrete Mathematics, Mathematical Optimization, Statistics, Formal Logic, Computer Science, Control Theory, Systems Science, Bibliometrics. We concretely apply new and existing tools to solve relevant problems in Biomedicine, Transportation, Enterprise Management, Research Evaluation, Cultural Heritage.

IRISS: The mission of the IRISS is to study innovation and services to support the international competitiveness of companies and territories, contexts in which economic, cultural and human value is generated. Research themes are addressed through a systemic and interdisciplinary approach that combines the economic and business perspective, the territorial planning and management perspective and the legal perspective, which interact in the research activities of the Institute.

The mission of the IRISS is consistent with the cultural and scientific project shaped in 2014, required by the CNR and entrusted to the community of Researchers of the Institute, with its Technologists, Technicians and Administrative staff. .

The Rome CNR group is composed by Dr. Barbara De Filippo, Scientific Coordinator CNR unit, Dr. Pasquale Carotenuto, Task Leader 8.3, Dr. Emiliano Cristiani, Task Leader 8.4, Dr. Paolo Ventura, Task Leader 8.5, Dr. Roberto Natalini, IAC-CNR Director, Dr. Maya Briani, IAC-CNR Senior Researcher and Alessio Salvatore, CNR research fellow.
