Daniele Miorandi

Daniele Miorandi was born in Rovereto, Italy, in 1977. He received the laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2001, with a thesis on spectral synthesis using finite state machines. He received the Ph.D. degree in Communication Engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2005, with a thesis entitled “Stochastic Modelling of Wireless Ad Hoc Networks”. In 2003/04 he spent one year of his doctoral thesis visiting the MAESTRO project at INRIA Sophia Antipolis (France). In 2004 he had an appointment as “Incaricato di Ricerca” at IEIIT-CNR, Torino (Italy). In Jan. 2005 he joined the Pervasive team at CREATE-NET, Trento (Italy). Since Oct. 2006 is the Head of the Pervasive area. Since Mar. 2007 he is the coordinator of the EU-funded BIONETS project.

My main research interests lie in the area of modelling, performance evaluation and protocol design for wireless networks. The Pervasive Team is currently working on the following projects:

• SMART-NET : SMART-antenna multimode wireless mesh Network, EU-FP7-223937 (2008-2011)
• BIONETS : Biologically-Inspired Autonomic Networks and Services, EU-FET-SAC-FP6-027748 (2006-2009)
• WING : Wireless Mesh Networks for Next Generation Internet, joint Italy-Israel project, sponsored by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (2006-2009)

I am currently working on:

• Information spreading patterns in opportunistic networks
• Evolutionary epidemic-style spreading in DTNs
• Scaling laws for large-scale wireless networks
• Experiments with emergence of network protocols in chemical computing
• Architectures and techniques for service evolution

• BIONETS @ ICT 2008: Come visit us at exhibition stand J-03!

• I got recently elected to serve in the Advisory Board of the PANORAMA Coordination Action
• Together with L. Yamamoto, E. Hart and T. Yu we are organizing a special session on Techniques for Online and Distributed Evolutionary Computation at IEEE CEC09. See the CfP at: CEC09
• Together with E. Altman, T.Basar, E. Hart, A. Moustakas and S. Toumpis, we are organizing a special issue of Computer Networks on cross-disciplinary approaches to networking paradigms and approaches.cfp_newnetwrkpara.pdf
• I will act as TPC co-chair for WiOpt 2009, to take place in Korea WiOpt
