I graduated in Computer Engineering at the
Universita' di Catania, Italy in 2005 with
a thesis on Markovian modelling of peer-to-peer networks. In 2006 I moved to
Edinburgh to pursue my Ph.D., supervised by
Stephen Gilmore.
My research is funded by the EU through the IST
SENSORIA project.
Briefly, this project's goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical aspects
and software engineering of service-oriented computing. My involvement in
the project is to bring quantitative methods -
in particular stochastic process algebra - to the
software engineering community. This research is heavily influenced by
the use of the stochastic process algebra
PEPA.
Much of my research is being devoted to the development of tools to to make formal methods accessible to software engineers. I am one
of the lead engineers of the PEPA Plug-in Project,
a tool that supports PEPA within the Eclipse framework.

Part of the tool's functionality is also available as an extension to the
Sensoria CASE tool,
an umbrella software for the contributions of the Sensoria partners.

I am investigating the use of PEPA for automatic extraction performance models from UML diagrams. More information on the tools that support this analysis is here.
Together with Allan Clark and
Stephen Gilmore, I am
also working on SRMC - the Sensoria Reference Markovian
Calculus. Find out
how to use the language to carry out scalable analysis of scalable systems.
