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] In the early 2000s, Magrassi also was instrumental in introducing to the industrial and business world[6][7] then-emerging miniature RFID and internet of things technologies such as those proposed by the MIT's Auto-ID Center.
