Marco Brambilla

I’m associate professor of Web Science and Software Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy.

I lead the Data Science Lab at Politecnico di Milano, DEIB.

My current research interests are on Web Science, Big Data Analysis, Social Media Analytics, and Model-driven Development.

I’m the inventor of the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) standard by the OMG, and of 2 patents on crowdsourcing and multi-domain search.

I started-up Fluxedo and WebRatio.

I currently teach:

Web Science (see course materials here)
Software Engineering
Advanced Software Engineering (Model-driven Engineering, see book here)

My most recent books:


Model Driven Engineering in Practice (second edition)	Web Information Retrieval	Model-Driven UI Engineering of Web and Mobile Apps with IFML

Driving Style and Behavior Analysis based on Trip Segmentation over GPS Information through Unsupervised Learning

December 12, 2017 by Marco Brambilla, posted in big data, data science, event, IoT

Over one billion cars interact with each other on the road every day. Each driver has his own driving style, which could impact safety, fuel economy and road congestion. Knowledge about the driving style of the driver could be used to encourage “better” driving behaviour through immediate feedback while driving, or by scaling auto insurance … Continue reading Driving Style and Behavior Analysis based on Trip Segmentation over GPS Information through Unsupervised Learning

FaST – Fashion Sensing Technology – is a project meant to design, experiment with, and implement an ICT tool that could monitor and analyze the activity of Italian emerging Fashion brands on social media.

Using Crowdsourcing for Domain-Specific Languages Specification

October 24, 2017October 24, 2017 by Marco Brambilla, posted in event, modeling

Improving the quality of the language notation may improve dramatically acceptance and adoption, as well as the way people use your notation and the associated tools. Here is a systematic (and automatic) method for creating crowdsourcing campaigns aimed at refining the graphical notation of domain-specific languages.
