Prof Giovanni Acampora (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Laurea (cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy, in 2003 and 2007, respectively. Currently, he is an Associate Professor in Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing at University of Naples Federico II. From July 2011 to August 2012, he was an Assistant Professor in Process intelligence at the School of Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Previously, he was a Research Associate at the Department of Computer Science, University of Salerno. He was also a Member of the Multi-Agent Laboratory at the University of Salerno and the Co-responsible Scientist of the CORISA Research Centre. From September 2003 to June 2007, he was also involved in the CRDC-ICT Domotic project, where he was engaged in the research on multiagent systems and artificial intelligence applied to ambient intelligence environments. In this context, he designed and developed the Fuzzy Markup Language, an XML-based environment for modeling transparent fuzzy systems. Currently, FML is under consideration by the IEEE Standard Association to become the first standard in computational intelligence. Currently, Prof. Acampora acts as Chair of IEEE CIS Standards Committeeand as vice-Chair of IEEE CIS Task Force on Ambient Intelligence. Prof. Acampora has written some seminal papers on computational intelligence applied to ubiquitous computing and, in particular, his work about fuzzy computation in smart environments is one of the most cited papers of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL INFORMATICS.
