Biographical Sketch
Maria Tortorella received the Laurea degree in Computer Science from the
University of Salerno, Italy. She also received the M.Sc. degree in Computer Science
from the University of Durham, UK, in 1995, and the Ph.D. in Electronic
Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Naples "Federico II",
Italy, in 1996.
>From 1992 to 1995 she was a Ph.D. student at the Department of "Informatica e
Sistemistica" of the University of Naples "Federico II", Italy. From 1993 to 1994
she was a visiting postgraduate student at the Centre for Software Maintenance, of
the Department of Computer Science of the University of Durham, UK. From 1995 to
1998 she participated to the research activities of the SERLAB at the Department
of “Informatica” of the University of Bari. From 1999 to 2003 she was research
leader of a research project at the Parco Scientifico e Technologico of Salerno.
>From 2001 she is a Faculty member at the Department of Engineering of the University
of Sannio, Benevento. From 2001 she is also a research leader of the Research Centre
On Software Technology – RCOST – of the University of Sannio.
Her research interests include software maintenance, program comprehension, reverse
engineering, reengineering, migration, business process modelling, business process
evolution, software system evolution, ubiquitous computing, smart environment.
She published about 50 papers on these topics in international journals, books,
and conference proceedings.
