Research Activity

Main interests are in the all the general areas of Computer Networks and Distributed, Pervasive, and Mobile Systems, and Context-aware middlewares.

In general, the areas involve:

  • Operating Systems, Concurrent Systems, and Parallel Computing
  • Computer Networks, and Distributed Parallel Systems
  • Middleware to support Mobile Agent Systems and Service provisioning
  • Design and deployment of distributed services with differentiated quality and access
  • Infrastructures for secure services in global and open environments
  • Middleware to support mobility for users, terminals and resources
  • Models and technologies for dynamic support in ad-hoc network scenarios
  • Services and tools for high accessibility in mobile and heterogeneous systems.

For the current activity in general see more concises details in next page.

Projects:

Some areas have raised and produced several internal research activities and results:

  • Internet Architectures and Mobile Agents (see the SOMA Home Page)
  • Group handling in ad-hoc networks (AGAPE)
  • Context-aware and user-centric Discovery (MIDAS)
  • QoS Tailoring and Adaptation for Ubiquitous Multimedia Services (ubiQoS and MUM)
  • Policy-based Adaptation in Mobile Applications (POEMA)
  • Aggregation and Integration of Heterogeneous Positioning Systems (PoSIM)
  • Infrastructures for Mobility Prediction (MobilityPrediction)
  • Semantic context-aware support for social networks (SAMOA)
  • Middleware for Lightweight Replication in dense MANET (REDMAN)
  • Middleware for Urban Monitoring in Vehicular Sensor Networks (MobEyes)

Some current projects going on:

  • MIUR Negotiated Project FIRB, Strategic Program Enabling Technologies for the Information Society - Objective 2: Networks and Net-computing, "TOCAI: Knowledge-oriented Technologies for Internet-based Enterprise Aggregation", Coordinator Prof. Lenzerini (2006-2008).
  • MIUR Negotiated Project FIRB, Strategic Program Enabling Technologies for the Information Society - Objective 2: Networks and Net-computing, "WEB-MINDS: Middleware for Advanced Services over Large-Scale Wired-Wireless System", Coordinator Prof. Giovanni Chiola (2003-2005).
  • CNR Strategic Project, Funding Area: Enabling Software Platforms for Complex Distributed Objects, "IS-MANET: Middleware for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks and their Applications", Coordinator Prof. Carlo Ghezzi (2003-2005).

Other Activities and Memberships:

  • Antonio is currently serving as a reviewer for several magazines and journals, and for several conferences, within organizing, technical and steering committee (see the ISCC conference organization).
  • Member of the IEEE, ACM, AICA, TABOO
