Paolo Magrassi
Paolo Magrassi is an Italian technologist[1] known as one of the authors[2] of the Supranet concept, the co-creator of the AlphaIC methodology for assessing the value of information technology expenditures,[3][4] and the manager of the Pontifex project, which in the mid-1980s introduced a novel approach to complex fleet scheduling.[5]
At the turn of the century, Magrassi also was instrumental in introducing to the industrial and commercial world[6][7] then-emerging miniature RFID and ‘smart object’ technologies such as those proposed by the MIT’s Auto-ID Center.[8][9]
He also published several books in Italian, including Digitalmente confusi (2011), La good-enough society (2010), Difendersi dalla complessità (2009), Il filo conduttore (2006), 2015 Weekend nel futuro (2005).
