Bruno Ciciani
is Full
Professor of Computer Engineering at the
University of Rome "La Sapienza". His
research interests include fault tolerance, computer architectures,
distributed operating systems, manufacturing yield prediction,
performance and dependability evaluation of
distributed and parallel computing systems. In these fields he has
published more than 130 papers, some of them
have been published in qualified journals as: IEEE Trans. on Computers,
IEEE Trans. on Parallel and Distributed
Systems, IEEE Trans. on Software Engineering, IEEE Trans. on Knowledge
and Data Engineering, IEEE Trans.
on Communications, IEEE Trans. on Reliability, IEEE Trans. on Computer
Aided Design, Performance
Evaluation Journal, Distributed Computing and Journal of Parallel
& Distributed Computing.
Moreover
he has published some books, among which two have been published by Mc
Graw Hill and by IEEE Computer
Society Press. Since his employment as Assistant Professor in 1983
(University of Tor Vergata, Rome), and
then as Associate Professor in 1992 and Full Professor in 1994
(University of Rome “ La
Sapienza”.
Prof. Bruno Ciciani has engaged advising roles for more than 200
undergraduate and graduate students. Moreover he acted as
Advisor for several PhD students working in the field of parallel and
distributed computing. Also, he
has been teaching supervisor of Master degree in Computer and
Communication Systems. Prof. Bruno Ciciani spent
more than two years as visiting researcher at the IBM Thomas J. Watson
Research Center (N.Y.), where he
contributed to the definition of three patents. He is a member
of the IEEE Computer Society. Prof.
Bruno
Ciciani served as consultant for several public institutions like CNIPA
(National Center for, Informatics in the
Public Administration) during these experiences he contributed in the
infrastructure definition for the
egovernment. Prof. Bruno Ciciani cooperates with colleagues of
international research institutions like: Boston
University (USA), Massachusetts University at Amherst (USA), Texas
A&M University( USA), LAAS (France), IRISA
(France), IBM Research Center T.J.Watson (USA), INESC (Portugal),
University of Luebeck (Germany), Red
Hat Research Center (England).
He is also a founder member of the
International
Research Institute for Autonomic Network Computing
(IRIANC, Munich, Germany / Boston, USA), namely a nonprofit research
institution constituted in late 2006, which involves computer
scientists in the field of distributed
computing from both Europe and the United State. Moreover he is a
founder member of InfQ (Informatica Quantitativa), a
national association for the research development in the field of the
Performance Evaluation.
Prof. Bruno Ciciani has participated in international and national and research projects either has coinvestigator or as Principal Investigator (PI). In particular, in the 1980 he participated to the first and second Informatics National Research Projects, in the Air Traffic Control National Research Projects. In the ?90 he participated to European projects like the Scientific Cooperation Network of the European Community “OLOS”. (A holistic approach to the dependability analysis and evaluation of control systems involving hardware, software and human resources) and the COST action “Stereoscopic Television: standards and technologies” . In the meantime he participated to many large national research projects like: Reliable Web Systems (MIURCOFIN); Wide ScalE Broadband Middleware for Network Distributed Service WEBMINDS (MIURFIRB); Performance Evaluation of Complex Systems: Techniques, Methodologies and Tools “PERF (MIURFIRB).” Actually he is participating to two European projects related to the cloud computing and to distributed transactional memory (CLOUD-Transactional Memory STREP project, EuroTransactional Memory COST Action.
