Perchè partecipo

Le conferenze e i seminari scientifici mi permettono di diffondere ricerche, creare contatti e discutere idee innovative stimolando collaborazioni future che favoriscono sia il progresso della mia conoscenza sia la crescita dei miei contatti  scientifici e professionali internazionali.

Pubblicazioni e Attività di ricerca

La mia attività di ricerca è focalizzata sullo sviluppo dell’innovazione e sul rafforzamento del rapporto tra mondo accademico e industria. Opero all’interno di reti educative nazionali per favorire il trasferimento tecnologico e promuovere un’adozione responsabile delle tecnologie emergenti nei contesti produttivi e organizzativi. In collaborazione con New Generation Sensors, sto sviluppando un framework operativo per portare il paradigma del Physical Internet in applicazioni reali, traducendone i principi in modelli e strumenti concreti per i sistemi logistici e industriali.

AI-Driven Financial Risk Prevention: the Role of HR Analytics in Corporate Crisis Management Under Industry 5.0

A Laudonia, F Avolio, N Cosmo, I Giannetti, P Liberanome, F Maciariello, ... 7th International Conference on Industry of the Future and Smart …, 2026

This paper addresses a persistent research gap: existing financial-distress models rely almost exclusively on ex post accounting ratios, overlooking human-capital variables that often signal crises much earlier. We propose an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven framework that integrates HR analytics with financial indicators under the Industry 5.0 paradigm. The pipeline combines machine learning, NLP, federated learning and...

Explainable AI as a Strategic Asset, Not a Technical Feature: Managerial Framework for Trust, Transformation and Governance

F Maciariello, F Benelli, M Caronna Advances in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence (AMLAI) 7 (1), 01-09, 2026

Explainable Artificial Intelligence is commonly framed as an optional add-on to technical AI design or as a complianceoriented enhancement that becomes relevant only in narrow regulatory contexts. Yet the rapid expansion of AI into highly regulated industries, critical infrastructures, public services and enterprise decision-making demonstrates that the real strategic challenge for leadership is not simply...

The TREATMENT project: a Physical-Internet-enabled reference architecture for end-to-end visibility in direct-to-patient clinical trial logistics

F Maciariello, E Lorenzo, C Caponio, G Tortora, C Salvadori Georgia Institute of Technology, 2026

Clinical trials are increasingly adopting decentralized and direct-to-patient delivery models, but these models intensify the need for auditable chain-of-custody, condition control, and coordinated execution across heterogeneous logistics actors. This paper presents TREATMENT as a Physical-Internet-enabled reference architecture for regulated direct-to-patient clinical trial logistics. The contribution does not lie in standards adoption alone, but in the...

Digitalizing a Territorial Fresh-Produce Wholesale Market as a Physical-Internet Node: Container-Centric Traceability, Evidence Packages, and Controlled Transparency at Mercato …

C Salvadori, F Maciariello, E Lorenzo, M Torchio, S Abrate Georgia Institute of Technology, 2026

Wholesale fresh-produce markets are critical territorial infrastructures, yet they remain difficult environments for Physical Internet deployment because operations are time-compressed, multi-actor, temperature-sensitive, and only partially digitalized. We present the design of a container-centric digitalization approach for Mercato Ortofrutticolo del Roero, framed as a Physical-Internet node. The approach combines reusable-crate identification, zone-based location awareness, EPCIS 2.0...

Competences for Society 5.0: Multidisciplinary Corporate Training for Inclusion, Safety and Competitiveness

F Maciariello, F Avolio, VS Cicoira, N Cosmo, A Laudonia, I Giannetti, ... Rethinking services for society 5.0 Opportunities and Challenges, 2025

This desk‑based review investigates how corporate training can support the transition from the efficiency‑oriented paradigm of Industry 4.0 to the human‑centric vision of Society 5.0. Drawing on philosophical, legal, economic, engineering and occupational‑health literatures, as well as European and Italian policy sources, the study maps converging requirements for inclusive, technology‑enabled learning. Analysis shows that (i)...
