Curriculum
Career:
Paolo Buono is currently assistant professor at the Dipartimento di Informatica, University of Bari, where he teaches Data Bases and other courses for the
Computer Science curriculum.
In March 2005 he discussed a PhD thesis entitled "A framework for Visual
Data Analysis" (tutor:
Prof.
Maria Francesca
Costabile).
He got his laurea degree in Computer Science from the University of Bari in March
1999. Since 1998 he has been research collaborator of the Department of Computer
Science in various projects involving data access and data visualization. He
has been involved in various projects sponsored by
European Union and Italian organizations.
During the period 2001-2003 he has been visiting scientist for several short
periods
at
Fraunhofer
IPSI
(Darmstadt).
In the periods February-May 2004 and August 2005 he has been visiting scientist
at
Human-Computer
Interaction Lab of the University of Maryland.
He has been responsible of the scientific secretariat of the
AVI
2004 Conference.
He has been co-chair in the Organizational Overview track for the
INTERACT
2005 Conference and volume editor of the Adjunct Proceedings of the conference.
He speaks English and French

Research:
His current research interests include Visual Analytics, Information Visualization, Human-Computer Interaction, Web-based Systems, Time Series Interaction, GIS applications, Mobile Applications.
Since July 1998 he is working in collaboration with
METEA Research Center in several project related to air quality.
Since January 2000 he worked in a project sponsored by EU, called FAIRWIS (trade
FAIR Web-based Information Services, IST-1999-12641). The aim of the project
was to develop a system that supports the organization of both real and Web-based
trade fairs. He has been the responsible of a module devoted to business data
analysis and he developed some prototypes that exploit various Information Visualization
techniques, e.g. query previews. He has also worked to the development of the
personalization component of the system, that provides recommendations to the
users through a collaborative filtering approach.
Since August 2002 he has been project manager in another project sponsored by EU: FAIRSNET (On-line Solutions for Trade Fairs, IST-2001-34290). Based on the FAIRWIS Software System prototype, the general goal of FairsNet has been to transform FAIRWIS system into a ready-to-enter-the-market product, overcoming specific market and technology related barriers to successful exploitation. Within this project he is designing and developing a Decision Support System that exploits classical Data Mining and Visual Data Mining techniques.
Since August 2005 he is responsible for the E action line: “Automated load of industrial sources emission data”, that is a part of the "Convenzione tra Regione Puglia - Assessorato all’Ambiente, ARPA Puglia, Università degli Studi di Bari - Centro METEA, Università degli Studi di Lecce - Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Innovazione Dipartimento di Fisica, CNR-ISAC a valere sulle linee 6a e 7a del Programma Triennale per la Tutela dell’Ambiente della Regione Puglia" The goal of the E action line is to develop an on-line system that manage information about the industries of the Puglia region and their emissions on air.
