Capacità e competenze tecniche

Programmazione, gestione sistemi di calcolo, reti di calcolatori, sistemi wireless, IoT, GRID, Cloud computing e Cyber Security.
Ha contribuito a realizzare i seguenti strumenti software:

WebSPN: tool per lo studio delle reti di Petri non Markoviane che permette la soluzione analitica di modelli estremamente complessi
MAP: piattaforma ad agenti mobili basata su Java e su meccanismi di sicurezza avanzati
DAVID: server per video on demand basato su una architettura totalmente distribuita in grado di garantire prestazioni elevate e costi contenuti
ArgoPerformance: tool per l’analisi delle prestazioni del software basato su UML
GridVideo: una applicazione basata su Grid per offrire un server di video on demand virtuale.
WHEREX: middleware per la realizzazione e gestione dell’Internet of Things (in seguito trasformato in prodotto commerciale da Inquadro srl)
CLEVER: middleware per la realizzazione e gestione di infrastrutture di Cloud computing
Stack4Things: ambiente di sviluppo per Cyber-Physical Systems in grado di interconnettere l'Internet delle cose al Cloud, adottato dalle città di Torino, Padova, Lecce, Siracusa e Messina per realizzare un ambiente smart city.

L'attività scientifica è rivolta principalmente allo studio dei sistemi di calcolo distribuiti e paralleli con particolare attenzione verso la modellazione delle prestazioni e dell'affidabilita', il networking, le architetture orientate ai servizi. Applicazioni specifiche sono state sviluppate sul network management e sulla gestione della qualità del servizio. Si e’ occupato di tematiche legate alla gestione della mobilità dell’utente ed alla sicurezza sia nelle reti wireless che ad hoc. Particolare enfasi viene attualmente dedicata allo studio dei sistemi di calcolo Grid e sul Cloud computing ed alla adozione di tali paradigmi per fornire servizi multimediali avanzati all’utente finale, avendo particolare riguardo alla realizzazione di servizi per le PMI e la Pubblica Amministrazione. Interesse specifico riguarda l'Internet delle cose ed i Cyber Physical Systems e le loro applicazioni.
L’attività di ricerca riguarda le seguenti aree tematiche:

Tecniche di modellazione e Valutazione delle Prestazioni
Fog ed Edge computing
Smart cities
Sensori ed IoT
Cloud Computing

Negli ultimi anni particolare attenzione e' stata posta all'integrazione del mondo Cyber con quello fisico contribuendo all'estensione di OpenStack verso l'IoT, con la realizzazione del middleware Stack4Things (S4T). S4T e' alla base del progetto #SmartME.
In ecosistemi fortemente eterogenei quali le Smart City, in cui numerosi stakeholder condividono risorse e servizi, un tema fondamentale è quello della cyber security ed in particolare la fiducia (o trustness). Volendosi focalizzare sull'ambito dell'Internet of Things, tale tematica si declina in svariate direzioni: fiducia deve poter essere data ai dati, ai loro produttori (generalmente dispositivi IoT sparsi per il territorio) e ai loro consumatori (cittadini, pubblica amministrazione, aziende). L’attività di ricerca si sviluppa in tutte queste direzioni per progettare e realizzare infrastrutture IoT totalmente decentralizzate in cui l'utilizzo delle tradizionali tecnologie IoT e Cloud si combinano all'uso di tecnologie innovative quali i Trusted Platform Module (TPM) e le blockchain.

Technical skills and competences

The following is a list of software tools and products whose development was coordinated that summarize the main technical skills and competences:

WebSPN: software tool to solve non-Markovian stochastic Petri nets that allows to analytically solve extremely complex performance and dependability models.
MAP: a Java-based mobile agents platform that provides advanced security mechanisms.
DAVID: a distributed server to provide video on demand streaming with high performance and limited costs.
ArgoPerformance: a performance software engineering tool for preventive analysis of UML-based software systems.
GridVideo: a Grid-based video on demand service.
WHEREX: middleware to support and implement the Internet of Things (it is now a commercial product of Inquadro srl).
CLEVER: middleware to setup and manage Cloud computing infrastructures.
Stack4Things: framework for Cloud-IoT integration based on OpenStack - stack4things.unime.it, being adopted by the cities of Turin, Padoa, Lecce, Syracuse and Messina to create a smart city environment.

The scientific activity is mainly devoted to distributed and parallel systems with specific attention towards performance aspects and reliability analysis, networking and service-oriented architectures. Specific solutions have been developed with regard to the management of networked systems and to ensure adequate levels of QoS. User mobility and security in wireless and ad hoc networks are other fields of interest. Grid and Cloud infrastructures have been devoted great attention and specifically on how to develop advanced services to the final users, such as SME and public administration. IOT and cyber Physical Systems in general are another area of interest, where specific product/services have been developed. The research activity covers the following thematic areas:

Modeling techniques and performance evaluation
Fog and edge computing
Smart Cities
Sensors and IoT
Cloud Computing

In recent years particular attention has been paid to the integration of the Cyber world with the physical one, contributing to the extension of OpenStack to the IoT, with the construction of the Stack4Things middleware (S4T). S4T is the basis of the #SmartME project.
In highly heterogeneous ecosystems such as Smart Cities, in which numerous stakeholders share resources and services, a fundamental theme is that of cyber security and in particular trust (or trustiness). Wanting to focus on the field of the Internet of Things, this topic is developed in various directions: trust must be given to data, to their producers (generally IoT devices scattered throughout the territory) and to their consumers (citizens, public administration, companies). The research activity is developed in all these directions to design and implement fully decentralized IoT infrastructures in which the use of traditional IoT and Cloud technologies are combined with the use of innovative technologies such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and the blockchain.
