Research Projects

Please find here a list of research projects I have been/I am participating in:

Ongoing Projects OMELETTE: Open Mashup Enterprise service platform for LinkEd data in The TElco domain. Small or medium-scale focused research project in the context of the Seventh Framework Programme. Partners: Informática Gesfor S.A., Huawei Technologies, SAP AG, TIE Kinetix, Technische Universität Chemnitz, Università degli Studi di Trento, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, University of Bolton, and T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH. OMELETTE aims at researching the development, management, governance, execution and conception of converged services with a specific focus on the telco domain. The idea is to create a model of mashups that follows the REST architectural style (also supported by standard widget technology), as well as a standard specification of a mashup container platform that guarantees portability and interoperability among different vendors and versions. MoPAL:Mobile Palm for Assisted Living. Industry-university partnership project funded by the Province of Trento, Italy. The goal of MoPAL is to equip home/social assistants with mobile devices and a mobile software solution that, jointly, allow them to collect data of, monitor, manage, and analyze the socio-sanitary services they provide in their terrotory. MarcoFlow: Industrial project in cooperation with Huawei Technologies, Shenzhen, P.R.China. MarcoFlow aims at devising models, languages, tools, and a methodology for the development of web applications that are composed of web services and user interface components and that are able to orchestrate multiple web browsers, i.e., users. mashArt: Industrial project in cooperation with SAP Research, Palo Alto, California. The aim of mashArt is to develop novel composition technologies for the Web, ranging from data integration and UI composition to what we call universal composition. mashArt.org will represent the resulting integration platform with hosted development, hosted execution and hosted analysis capabilities. Special focus is given to end users. MASTER: Managing Assurance, Security and Trust for Services. Large-scale integrating EU project in the context of the Seventh Framework Programme. Partners: Atos Origin, SAP AG, Università di Trento, Engineering Ingegneria Informatica S.p.A, British Telecom, ETH, University of Stuttgart, LERO, ANECT, Deloitte, IBM, CESCE, Fondazione San Raffaele. MASTER aims at providing methodologies and infrastructures that facilitate the monitoring, enforcement, and audit of quantifiable indicators on the security of a business process, and that provide manageable assurance of the security levels, trust levels and regulatory compliance of highly dynamic service- oriented architecture in centralized, distributed (multidomain), and outsourcing contexts. COMPAS: Compliance-driven Models, Languages, and Architectures for Services. Small or medium-scale focused research project in the context of the Seventh Framework Programme. Partners: Vienna University of Technology, Center for Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Claude Bernard, University of Stuttgart, University of Tilburg, University of Trento, Apera sp z.o.o., Thales. COMPAS aims at the design and implementation of novel models, languages, and architectural frameworks to ensure dynamic and on-going compliance of software services to business regulations and quality of service, licensing, and security requirements. COMPAS particularly focuses on model-driven development approaches to compliance.
