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.   Author with R.
