Welcome to my web pages. I am an assistant professor in Computer Engineering
in the
Computer Science, Systems and Production Department at the
University of Roma "Tor Vergata", Italy.
My research interests are in distributed systems and Web-based infrastructures
and services.
I teach and have taught courses in distributed systems, computer architecture and Web engineering.
I am currently one of the editors
of the book
Performance and Dependability in Service Computing:
Concepts, Techniques and Research Directions.
The deadline for chapter proposals is February 15, 2010.
