Welcome to my personal home page. I am assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna. My research interests include Grid computing, distributed systems, Performance Evaluation of complex systems and Queueing Networks.
Before joining the University of Bologna, I worked as a computer scientist at INFN Padova, Italy, on the European Union EGEE-3 project. I was part of the JRA1 activity (Middleware Reengineering), where I worked on the CREAM Computing Element for the gLite Grid middleware.
In these pages you can find more information about my research activity, the software I have developed and the courses I'm teaching or have taught. You might also be interested in some personal information, including my CV (also available in plain text and pdf formats).
2010/03/12 I gave a presentation on Simulating storage system performance: a useful approach for SuperB? at the SuperB Computing R&D Workshop, Ferrara, Italy
2010/02/15 Three technical reports are available:
