Ongoing Activities

Generally speaking, my research is about Data Mining, i.e. the study of principles and methods to extract useful information from great volumes of data, and P2P networks, in particular on data indexing.

Projects

• Autonomic Security MIUR PRIN National research project
  Network technologies now allow the deployment of systems involving a big number of devices and calculators. The overall system is the result of aggregation of autonomous and already existent resources. The dimensions and the complexity of such systems can lead to high management costs. Besides, the investments required to guarantee robustness and reliability may become unsustainable. Examples of this kind of systems are grid networks and enterprises' or governmental server clusters spread all over the world and used for business, social or scientific purposes. Other application scenarios are emerging where the system can not be configured by specific adjustments on its single components, for instance in sensor networks with thousands or millions of micro-devices. This means that the system must be able to self-configure, self-manage, self-recovery (in case of software problems), more generally speaking it must be able to self-organize without human interaction, adapting its working strategies so that it can optimize the usage of its resources and its overall efficiency.
  The goal of the project is to define and develop decentralized infrastructures which are able to self-organize distributed systems, included networks of micro-devices such as wireless sensor networks, in order to efficiently perform message routing, multi-dimensional data management and offering in-network data mining services.
