Marco Pellegrini received his laurea
degree (magna cum laude) in Electronic Engeneering at Polytechnic
of Milan in 1986. In 1991 he was awarded a Ph.D. in Computer Science
by the New York University and a postdoctoral
fellowship by the International
Computer Science Institute in Berkeley. From 1991 to 1995 he was lecturer
at the Department of Computer Science
of King's College, London. Since 1995
he has been a CNR senior scientist (ex art 36) at IMC. His research
interests are in Computational Geometry and Analysis of Algorithms. In
particular Marco Pellegrini has worked on intersections, collision detection
and visibility for polyhedra in 3-dimensional space, with applicatons to
problems in Graphics, CAD/CAM, Robotics and Physics.

Mauro Leoncini received his laurea
degree (magna cum laude) in Computer Science from the University
of Pisa in the Academic Year 1982-83. He is now Research Associate
with the Computer Science Department
of the University of Pisa. He has been Senior Visitor at the International
Computer Science Institute, Berkeley, CA. His research interests are
in Numerical Linear Algebra, Parallel Algorithms, and Computational Complexity.
In these areas, he has contributed with new parallel algorithms for the
solution of linear systems, and with results that relate complexity and
approximation issues. He has active cooperations with the Universidad
Politecnica of Valencia (Spain), the Northern
Illinois University (DeKalb, Il), and the Technion
(Haifa, Israel).

Giovanni Manzini received his laurea
degree (magna cum laude) in mathematics from the University
of Pisa in the Academic Year 1986-87. From 1989 to 1992 he has been
a graduate student at the
Scuola Normale Superiore
in Pisa where he received his PhD degree in 1995. He is currently a research
associate of Numerical Analysis at the University
of Alessandria. He has been Visiting Scientist at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA), and Visiting Assistant Professor
at the Computer Science Department
of the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD). His research interests
are in the area of design and analysis of algorithms, parallel computation,
and efficient algorithms for the solution of large scale combinatorial
optimization problems. In these areas, he developed parallel algorithms
for sparse matrix computations, and sorting algorithms for distributed
architectures. He has an active collaboration with Prof. Rao Kosaraju of
the Johns Hopkins University in the area
of data compression algorithms.

Luciano Margara received his laurea
degree (magna cum laude) in Computer Science from the University
of Pisa in the Academic Year 1989-90. He is currently a graduate student
in Computer Science at the University of
Pisa. From 1995, he got a position as research associate at
the University of Bologna. In 1992,
he has been visiting student at the International
Computer Science Institute in Berkeley, USA. His research activity
concerns heuristic techniques for finding approximate solutions to NP-hard
problems and the study of chaotic discrete dynamical systems. In these
areas, he developed new heuristic techniques for very large instances of
the traveling salesman problem and studied the topological structure of
cellular automata.
