DISI (Dipartimento di Informatica e Scienze dell'Informazione), the
Department of Computer and Information Sciences of the University of Genova,
has been established in 1992, building up on a research group previously
operating within the Department of Mathematics. It has been rapidly growing
and its teaching and research staff consists presently of 18 people, among
which 8 full professors. The department is responsible for the organization
of the activities related to a five-year degree (Laurea in Informatica), a
three-year degree (Diploma in Informatica) and a four years Ph. D. program
in Computer Science (one of ten in the country). The main research areas
include Formal Methods, Geometric Modelling and Computer Graphics, Object
Oriented and Logic Programming, Performance Evaluation, Semantics and Logic,
Databases and Information Systems, Design and Implementation of Languages
and Systems.
The Geometric Modelling and Computer Graphics group of DISI is active in
geometric modelling and computational geometry for specific applications in
visualization, geographic information systems, and CAD. The group studies
modelling and computational issues concerning the representation and
manipulation of spatial objects, with special emphasis on multiresolution
geometric models, geometry compression and geometry reconstruction. This
activity has led to several papers published in international journals
and in the proceedings of international conferences in the fields of
Computer Graphics, Geometric Modelling, Geographic Information Systems, and
to several software products for terrain modelling and analysis, for object
modelling and visualization in virtual environments.
