My activity ...

I've been member of several technical and organizational conference committees.

I'm currently General Chair of the 15th International Workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing (CBMI) that will be organized in Florence on 19-21 June 2017.

I've been involved in the organization of the 4 editions of the Workshop on Web-scale Vision and Social Media (VSM).

I've been involved in the organization of the European Conference on Computer Vision 2012, held in Florence on 7-13 October, and in the organization of ECCV workshops, in particular in the Workshop on Web-scale Vision and Social Media (VSM 2012) and ARTEMIS 2012.

I've also helped for the organization of the 31st International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER 2012), organized in Florence on 15-18th October 2012.

In the recent past I have worked for the organization of ACM Multimedia 2010, that was held in Florence in October 2010, helping with the organization and as co-chair for the Open Source Software Competition.
