Research interests:
My interests include distributed computing in general, mobile devices programming, P2P, gossip protocols, self-organization and complex adaptive systems (CAS). During my Ph.D., I focused on developing fully-decentralized protocols that work in “hostile” environments, where dynamism, crashes and selfish/malicious behaviors can be considered the norm rather than the exception.
When possible, I love to find inspiration from other disciplines, such as biology, sociology or economy (organization) to solve problems.
Short bio:
I received my MSc in computer science from the University of Bologna in 2002; after a 1-year work experience in an Italian IT company, I had the opportunity to move to the University of Bologna joining the BISON project and the Prof. Ozalp Babaoglu’s group.
After receiving my Ph.D. in 2007, I started working with Prof. Edoardo Mollona focusing on firm organizational models using agent simulations.
