Her research interests include information systems design, adaptive information systems, service engineering and web services, data quality, energy efficiency in information systems. She has published more than 80 papers in international journals, co-edited 26 books, and published about 350 papers at international level. She was scientific leader in the European project GAMES (Green Active Management of Energy in Service Centers). She also participated in the following European projects: TODOS, developing a tool to support office information system design, ITHACA, developing a model and tools for supporting reuse of object-oriented conceptual components, EQUATOR, developing a model and a temporal deductive information system, and F3, working on the definition of a reuse model and methodology, WIDE (Workflow on Intelligent Distributed database Environment, 1995-1999), RENOIR (network of excellence for requirements engineering) (as Italian coordinator), Chorochronos on spatio-temporal databases (Training and Mobility of Researchers program), WS-Diamond (2005-2008) on self-healing web services, S-Cube, European research network on software services, ECO2Clouds, on energy efficiency of information systems on cloud, E2MC e Crowd4SDG on information extraction from the social networks. She has been chief scientist of the Italian MIUR-MURST FIRB research project MAIS (Multichannel Adaptive Information Systems). She has coordinated several National Research Council and Italian Research projects. She has been part of the program committee in several international conferences, among which ICWS, ECOWS, WWW, VLDB, SIGMOD, ER, ECOOP, CAISE, BPM, Mobis, IFIP conferences, and referee for several international journals. She has been program chairperson of Working Conferences of IFIP WG 8.1 and 8.4 and of the IFIP TC8 working conference on Mobile Information Systems, held in Oslo. She was Program chair for the 10th International Conference on Information Systems Engineering (CAiSE'98) in Pisa in 1998, in 2010 in Hammamet, and General chair in Rome in 2019. In 2004, she co-chaired the international conference on Business Process Management, held in Potsdam, and general chair of BPM 2008, Milano. She cochaired ER in Brasil and ICSOC in Canada. She has been involved in the editorial board of the Requirements Engineering Journal, the Journal on Cooperative Information Systems, the Journal on Database Management, the ACM Journal of Data and Information Quality, IEEE Transactions on Service Computing e ACM Transactions on the Web, Journal on Business Information Systems Engineering. She has been invited speaker at the RCIS, DEXA, ICEIS, Coopis, CAiSE international conferences. She was chair of TC8 Information Systems of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and of IFIP WG 8.1 on Information Systems Design. She is one of the proposers of the IFIP WG on Services. Prof. Pernici was the Dean of the PhD School of the Politecnico di Milano.
