Research

I had a research grant at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DISI) affiliated with the Alma Mater Studiorum–Università di Bologna.

Here I graduated in Computer Science Engineering in October 2004 with a thesis entitled “Analisi e progetto di un sistema multi-agente per l'interazione avanzata docente studente: Agenti e Servizi”.

I got my Ph.D. degree in April 2008, by discussing the thesis “Meta-models, Environment and Layers: Agent-Oriented Engineering of Complex Systems”.

My research activity was mainly focused on:

• Software Engineering
• Agent-Oriented Method Engineering
• Standardisation
• Agent-Oriented Software Engineering and Methodologies
• SODA Methodology
• Gaia Methodology
• Multi-Agent Systems
• Software Development Process

Other areas of interest were:

• Security Engineering
• Security Patterns
• Software Architectures
• Architectural Styles
