In 1971, CSELT built the "Gruppi Speciali", [3] a time-division processing computer for telephone call switching. It was the second electronic switching system in Europe, following Britain's 1968 Empress, [4] but it was very advanced in its design: e.g. in 1975 was introduced for the first time an architecture-independent [clarification needed] automatic bootstrap from ROM composed from ...
The institute was founded in 2002 as a merge of two previous CNR institutes: Istituto CNUCE and Istituto di Elaborazione dell’Informazione (IEI). The institute is named in honor of Alessandro Faedo, former President of CNR and former rector of the University of Pisa, for his important contributions to the development of Computer Science in Italy.

He was a pioneer of computer science in Italy, who led a group of scientists from the University of Pisa to invent in 1959 the Olivetti Elea —the world's most powerful ...
This decade marks the first major strides to a modern computer, and hence the start of the modern era. Fermi's Rome physics research group (informal name I ragazzi di Via Panisperna ) develop statistical algorithms based on Comte de Buffon's work, that would later become the foundation of the Monte Carlo method .
[11] American Scientist has included this work among "100 or so Books that shaped a Century of Science", referring to the twentieth century. [12] Covers of the third edition of Volume 1 quote Bill Gates as saying, "If you think you're a really good programmer… read (Knuth's) Art of Computer Programming… You should definitely send me a ...
