Simone Agostinelli

About

Simone Agostinelli is a prominent researcher at the intersection of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Business Process Management (BPM), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), whose work has significantly advanced the field of intelligent automation. His research focuses on automating the generation of software robots from user interface logs, enabling organizations to streamline high-volume routines previously performed by human operators. Among his most influential contributions is his 2019 paper on research challenges for intelligent RPA, which has accumulated 68 citations and helped define the open problems shaping the field. Agostinelli has made notable strides in automating RPA script generation, log segmentation, and reactive synthesis of software robots, with key papers published between 2019 and 2022 collectively amassing over 200 citations. His development of SmartRPA, a tool for reactively synthesizing software robots from UI logs, exemplifies his commitment to translating theoretical insights into practical solutions. By integrating process mining techniques with RPA, Agostinelli continues to push the boundaries of what automated systems can achieve, making his work highly relevant to both academic researchers and industry practitioners seeking smarter automation strategies.
