Research Activity

 

I work in the field of Distributed Systems and Computer Networks.

My current research activity is mainly focused on:

• Network, Systems and Service Management in Distributed Heterogeneous Systems
• Resource Monitoring and Accounting
• Mobile/Ubiquitous Computing

  Brief presentation: Introduction on Middleware and Research Directions in Middleware for Pervasive Computing (in Italian... sorry!)

Other areas of interest are:

• Location aware and context aware applications
• IT Management and IT Governance

I have worked and I am currently working on the above mentioned research fields in the framework of the following projects:
