Ferdinando La Posta
He
received his degree in electronics from Naples
University in 1979 and soon joined the Olivetti
operating systems group. In 1981 he became a member of
the USA team responsible for designing and implementing
the kernel of MOS operating system for the Olivetti L1
line products, on the file system area and the locking
and recovery environment. Beetween 1984 to 1985 he
joined the system architecture team, working on the
definition of a DIP standard protocol (based on LU6.2)
in ECMA TC32/TG2, whilst designing MOS operating system
distributed architecture in a LAN environment. In 1985
he joined the Italtel Telematica PBX research and
development group as team leader, in charge of all
system aspects under UNIX for an integrated voice/data
switching project. In January 1988, he moved to the
system architecture group, as assistant to the research
chief, where he worked on PBX networks sides. He also
investigated the AI technology, defining and building
Expert Systems for automatic features testing and PBX
configuration.
Antonio
Caroselli
He
received his "summa cum laude" degree in electronics
from Rome University "La Sapienza" in 1984. He worked at
Datamat S.p.A. on the design and implementation of an
ORACLE-based graphical CASE tool to enforce the SADT
design methodology in the functional analysis,
architectural design and development phases of real-time
avionics systems.Then, he joined the project team for a
Software Quality Assurance Workstation (SQAW)
commissioned by the European Space Agency ESA/ESTEC in
Noordwijk, in the Netherlands, in order to implement the
ESA Software Engineering Standards in the software life
cycle management for mission-critical software on board
European Satellites and at ground control stations. In
1987 he moved to Lever, Italy for the joint DEC-Unilever
Process Manufacturing System (PMS) project developed by
DEC Manufacturing Information Centre in Birmingham, U.K.
He was coordinator for the Production Planning and
scheduling module.
Fabrizio Cinquemani
After
receiving his degree in electronics from Pisa
University, first he had experience in Hardware and
Firmware design at Olivetti Research Center (Pozzuoli -
Naples). He specialized in Silicon integrated circuit
design with Cadence and Synopsys Sw on SUN workstations,
thus developing custom chips for digital signal
processing and data coding/decoding with DES and RSA
algorithms. He built experience in design techniques for
discreet component electronic boards with ORCAD Sw and
developed custom processing units. Firmware design
experience followed in video terminals, keyboards,
mouses, etc ..., P.C. AT-EISA-PC and LONWORK microchip
drivers. After joining GATE he specialized in the design
of financial applications in "C++" and "VB" languages
under Windows NT (Intel PCs) and Unix (Sun and Digital
workstations). |
