Researcher

Giuseppe De Giacomo

Giuseppe De Giacomo studies knowledge representation and automated reasoning, including temporal logics for finite sequences of actions. De Giacomo works on description logics, ontologies, reasoning about actions, planning and cognitive robotics. He also works on verification and synthesis of knowledge-based systems. De Giacomo served as program chair of ECAI 2020. He also worked on representation and reasoning. His applications include data management, service composition and process modeling.

Timeline

  1. As of October 2026

    Representing actions and knowledge

    De Giacomo works on description logics, ontologies, reasoning about actions, planning and cognitive robotics. He also works on verification and synthesis of knowledge-based systems.

  2. 2013

    Temporal logic on finite traces

    De Giacomo and Moshe Vardi published a study of linear temporal and dynamic logic over finite traces at IJCAI. The original paper examines reasoning when a sequence ends and introduces a finite-trace dynamic logic. Both authors share the contribution. The complexity results apply under the paper’s conditions.

  3. 2019–2025

    WhiteMech research support

    He received an ERC Advanced Grant for WhiteMech, covering 2019 to 2025. He also worked on deciding and learning how to act within TAILOR.

  4. 2020

    Organizing European AI research

    De Giacomo served as program chair of ECAI 2020. He also worked on representation and reasoning. His applications include data management, service composition and process modeling.
