Roberto Baldoni

Full Professor

Roberto Baldoni does research (from theory to practice) in the fields of distributed, pervasive and p2p computing, middleware platforms and information systems infrastructure (here for a biographical sketch). He is the founder of MIDdleware LABoratory (MIDLAB) and he has been PI of many national and european research projects. A partial list of his publications can be found at DBLP, at Scholar Google and at MIDLAB publication repository. Roberto Baldoni has been visiting researcher at INRIA, Cornell Univ. and EPFL. He participated to the working group for the definition of the next generation systems for italian e-government (Servizio Pubblico di Cooperazione).

He regularly serves as an expert for the EU commission in the evaluation of EU projects in the security&dependability, embedded systrems and e-gov areas, he is a member of the Executive Board of the RESIST NoE, the coordinator person of the EU project SM4ALL on networked embedded systems and the Tecnical co-chair of the EU project CoMiFin on the protection of the financial infrastructure. He regularly participates and chairs committees of premiership international conferences and workshops. Recently he has been PC co-chair of SRDS 2007, and General Chair of DEBS 2008. In 2009, he is the PC chair of the track "Reliable and Dependable Systems" of ICDCS 2009. Roberto Baldoni is a member of the IFIP WG 10.4, of the steering committees of DEBS and of Autonomics. Finally he belongs to the Scientific Committee of Sapienza Innovazione the technology incubator of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" where he is director of the Joint-Lab on Security Research .

Roberto Baldoni is the Chair of the Ph.D Program in Computing Science and Engineering (Ingegneria Informatica) at the Dipartimento di Informatica e Sistemistica "Antonio Ruberti". Roberto Baldoni has been the advisor of Carlo Marchetti (Senato della Repubblica Italiana), Antonino Virgillito (Istituto Nazionale di Statistica), Sara Tucci Piergiovanni (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique), Alessia Milani (Université Pierre & Marie Curie), Leonardo Querzoni (Università di Roma "La Sapienza"), Adnan Noor Mian (Pakistan University of Computer and Emerging Sciences).
