Giovanni Aloisio is Full Professor of Information Processing Systems at the Engineering Faculty of the University of Salento, Lecce, Italy. His research interests are in the area of High Performance Computing, Distributed and Grid Computing and are carried out at the Department of Innovation Engineering of the University of Salento. He is also Director of the CACT (Center for Advanced Computational Technologies) of the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (NNL/CNR-INFM). As director of the CACT, which was an international partner of the US National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI), he leads joint research projects on Grid both at a national and international level. He has been a co-founder of the European Grid Forum (Egrid) which then merged into the Global Grid Forum (GGF), now Open Grid Forum (OGF). He has founded SPACI (Southern Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructures), a consortium on ICT and grid computing among the University of Salento, the University of Calabria and HP Italia. He is also the Vice-Director of the NanoSciences and Grid Computing Section of the "Scuola Superiore ISUFI"ÂÂ� and CEO of the SPACI Consortium. He is also Director of the Division "ICT and Operations"ÂÂ� of the Euromediterranean Center for Climate Chances (CMCC). He is the author of more than 100 papers in refereed journals on parallel & grid computing. He is a member of the BITS (Bioinformatics ITalian Society) by June 2007.
