Current position

Since nov 2009: Assistant Professor (ricercatore universitario) at the Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Informazione, Università di Bologna, Italy. My research interests include performance modelling of complex systems [MM10] [MFD11], applications of queueing network theory [M10], High performance computing [M11], and Green computing [MBP11]. I teach Algorithms and Data Structures for the undergraduate degree in Informatica per il Management.

Employment history

may 2008—oct 2009: I worked at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) Padova, Italy, in the EU EGEE-3 (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) project http://www.eu-egee.org/, JRA1 activity (Middleware Re-engineering). I worked on the gLite Grid middleware; in particular, I co-developed the ICE (Interface to Cream Environment) component of the gLite Workload Management System, and helped support the BES (Basic Execution Service) and JSDL (Job Submission Description Language) specifications within the CREAM Computing Element. More informations can be found at http://grid.pd.infn.it/cream/. Relevant publications: [INFN/TC_08/6] [AM09] [AAB+10] [A+09].
may 2006—apr 2008: I worked at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) Padova, Italy, in the OMII-Europe (Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute) project, JRA1 activity (Re-engineering of services). My work was focused on the analysis, implementation and extension of the JSDL (Job Submission Description Language) and BES (Basic Execution Service) specifications within the CREAM computing element on the gLite software infrastructure. More informations on this activity can be found on the activity wiki page http://grid.pd.infn.it/omii/. Relevant publications: [AAB+07] [MMR+07] [RMM+08]. The project deliverables and milestones are available as well: [OMII08-2] [OMII08] [OMII07-3] [OMII07-2] [OMII07] [OMII06] [R+09] [AAG+10].
apr 2005—apr 2006: I worked at the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) Padova in the EU EGEE (Enabling Grid for E-sciencE) project, JRA1 Activity (Middleware Reengineering and Integration). I worked on the development of a Computing Element (CE) service for the gLite Grid infrastructure. The CE is the Grid component which is responsible for execution of computational jobs. At INFN Padova we develope CREAM (Computing Resource Execution and Management), a Java application running inside an Axis container in the Tomcat application server. CREAM exposes a webservice-based interface allowing users to submit and manage computational jobs which will be executed on an underlying batch system. I worked initially on the development of the CREAM service itself, then moved to the co-development of ICE (Interface to Cream Environment), a C++ component which allows the gLite Workload Management System (WMS) to submit jobs to CREAM-based CE. Relevant publications: [A+08] [A+08-2] [VM+06] [A+06].
mar 2003—apr 2005: I was a post-doc researcher at the Dipartimento di Informatica, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, supported by the FIRB project Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems: Techniques, Methodologies and Tools. My research areas included: development of methodologies and tools for complex systems modeling, in particular software systems; analytical and approximate solution techniques for Queuing Network models with blocking; development of general-purpose simulation tools and libraries to support the above activities. Some relevant publications: [BMM06] [BM05] [BMM04] [MB04] [M04] [BDIM04]
nov 2000—oct 2003: I was a PhD student in Computer Science at the Dipartimento di Informatica, Università Ca' Foscari di Venezia, Italy, under the supervision of prof. Simonetta Balsamo. My initial research focused on methods and platform for distributed, discrete-event simulation. I developed a distributed simulation library written in C++ and using the MPI message-passing libraries. This work was presented in [M01]. I then worked on performance evaluation of software systems from UML specifications. In particular, I investigated the use of simulation as the performance model, and annotated UML Use Case, Activity and Deployment diagrams as the software specification model. The proposed simulation-based modeling approach has been implemented in the UML-PSI tool. The tool parses annotated UML specifications, automatically derives a simulation model which is then executed. Performance results are reported back at the UML level as additional annotations. During the years 2001-2002 my work was partially supported by the MIUR national project Sahara: Software Architectures for Heterogeneous Access Network Components. Since 2002 my work was supported by the FIRB national project Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems: Techniques, Methodologies and Tools. Relevant publications: [BM03-3] [BM03-2] [BM03] [M04].
sep 2001—feb 2004: I was with INFN Padova as a an external collaborator. I developed a monitoring system for a large computing cluster of about 180 dual-processor machines which is used for processing of data from the BaBar experiment. The monitoring system, written in C++, used the SNMP protocol to monitor the computing nodes and the network switch. Relevant publications: [M03] [MM03] [ACD+03].
nov 1998—jan 1999, nov 1999—sep 2001: I received a studentship from the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nuclare (INFN), Padova, Italy, to work on the BaBar experiment which was located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Menlo Park, California. I took part in the development of software for data transfer between SLAC and worldwide distributed regional computing centers. I gained significant skills with different programming languages (C++/Perl/Tcl-Tk/Bash) and with the OO database management system Objectivity [BA01] [BA01-2]. I spent several research and work periods at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

Software Developed

This section describes some of the software I have developed

LIBSVM_CBE: LIBSVM_CBE is an optimized version of LIBSVM for efficient training Support Vector Machines on the Cell Broadband Engine (CBE). LIBSVM_CBE has been described in [M11].
qnetworks: a Queueing Networks Analysis Package for GNU octave: qnetworks is a GNU Octave package which implements some Queueing Network analysis algorithms. qnetworks has been described in [M10].
Patch contributed to the gphoto project: I contributed a patch to the gphoto library for better supporting the Canon A40 digital camera. In particular, my patch improved the remote capture support capabilities of gphoto2 for this particular camera. My contribution has been included into the main development branch of gphoto2.
libcppsim and UML-PSI: During my PhD thesis I developed libcppsim and UML-Psi, libcppsim is a process-oriented simulation library written in C++; UML-Psi (the UML Performance SImulator) is a software package for simulation modeling of software architectures described as annotated UML diagrams. Both softwares, although no longer maintained, are still available as open source software under the GNU General Public License. These packages have been described in [M04] [MB04] [M04d].
perfmc: While I worked at INFN Padova for the BaBar collaboration I wrote perfmc, a mointoring system for compute farms. perfmc uses the Simple Network Management Procotol (SNMP) to query a large number of heterogeneous hosts (including other SNMP-capable appliances, such as routers, tape libraries and so on). perfmc has been used at INFN Padova for many years to monitor the BaBar reprocessing farm, which includes more than 300 CPUs. While never publicly released, this software has been described in [M03].
