Stefano Ceri (born 14 February 1955) is an Italian computer engineer and professor of database management at Politecnico di Milano. He has been visiting professor at Stanford University between 1983 and 1990, and received the ACM SIGMOD Edward Codd Innovations Award in 2013.[1]

Career

Stanford University

He was a visiting professor at Stanford University in the 1980s and 1990s.

Scientific Research

Some of the research projects he has been responsible for at Politecnico di Milano include W3I3: "Web-Based Intelligent Information Infrastructures" (1998–2000), WebSI: "Data Centric Web Services Integrator" (2002–2004), SeCo: Search Computing (2008–2013), GenData2020: Data-Centric Genomic Computing (2013–2016), and GeCo: Genomic Computing (2016–2021).

He received two European Research Council Advanced Grants, in 2008 for the Search Computing project[2] and in 2016 for the Genomic Computing project.[3]

His research interests are focused on:

  • extending database technologies for incorporating data distribution, deductive rules, active rules, and query languages for XML
  • methods and languages for the specification of data-intensive Web sites, such as WebML
  • search computing and crowd searching methods
  • genomic computing

WebML inventor

He is one of the inventors of WebML, a modeling language for the conceptual design of web applications (US Patent 6,591,271, July 2003) and he is one of the co-founders of WebRatio, a spinoff of Politecnico di Milano whose mission is to promote and commercialize development tools based on WebML and model-driven development in general (spanning Interaction Flow Modeling Language, BPMN, and Unified Modeling Language).

Alta Scuola Politecnica

Until November 2013, he was director of Alta Scuola Politecnica.

Awards

  • 1991 – VLDB Best Paper Award in 1991.
  • 2000 – VLDB Test of Time Award in 2000.
  • 2013 – ACM SIGMOD Edward F. Codd Innovations Award:[1] During his ACM-Sigmod talk, he explained the "Seven Golden Rules for being Successful in Research". They are: (1) Invest in education, (2) Choose the right co-workers, (3) Take context into account when choosing your research agenda, (4) Write!, (5) Diversify your research, (6) Learn from other disciplines, (7) Don't always work. [1]

Membership

He is member of the Academia Europaea. In 2014 he became ACM fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[4]
