About me
Senior Manager
Research lab: Watson Research Center (Hawthorne)
I joined IBM Research in 1995, and I am currently a Senior Manager of the Distributed Middleware Department. My research work focus on the design, prototype and evaluation of management technologies for highly scalable distributed systems. I led the research team that pioneered the distributed resource management technology of IBM's WebSphere Extended Deployment.
Previously, I was a Research Scientist at the Center for Telecommunications Research at Columbia University in New York where I led several research activities that focused on the design and evaluation of real-time control and monitoring systems for high-speed networks with quality of service guarantees.
Prior to my assignment at Columbia, I was a visiting Doctoral Candidate there, during which time I designed and implemented a monitoring and multimedia traffic generation system for MAGNET II, a high-speed multimedia network.
I was the Technical Program Co-Chair for IEEE Infocom 2001 and the Technical Program Co-Chair for the Fourth IFIP/IEEE International Conference on Management of Multimedia Networks and Services.
I am a past editor of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. I was an editor of the Elsevier Science's Computer Networks Journal, and the Guest Editor for two special issues of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications.
I received the "Laurea" in Electrical Engineering and the "Research Doctorate" in Information Science and Telecommunications from the University of Rome, "La Sapienza" in 1984 and 1989 respectively. As a student, my main research activities were focused on the design and performance evaluation of access control protocols for local and metropolitan area networks.
I am a senior member of IEEE and a member of ACM.
