Welcome! I'm Paolo Massa and this is my very static Web page. For something much more dynamic, have a look at my blog.

I'm a researcher at the Scientific and Technological Research Centre of Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK), located in Trento, north-east of Italy. At FBK, I lead the SoNet (Social Networking) explorative project.

Here there is my Curriculum Vitae in English (PDF) and in Italian (PDF), and a list of papers.

My interests are: social networking and Web2.0, trust (trust networks, trust metrics), reputation (reputation systems), recommender systems, carpooling, couchsurfing, free software, gift economy, reputation economy, sharing as a modality of economic production, and some more.

I keep a blog at gnuband.org

If you would like to discuss anything, I would be delighted, so please contact me.
