Projects
- ASCENS - Autonomic Service-Component Ensambles. It is an Information Society Technologies (IST) project funded by the EU as Integrated Project (IP) in the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) as part of the Future Emerging Technologies Proactive Initiative (FET Proactive).

Teaching and Professional Service
- February - May 2012: Modelli di Calcolo (9 CFU)
- We present the principles of operational semantics, the principles of denotational semantics, and the techniques to relate one to the other for an imperative language and for a higher order functional language. We also present two process calcoli, CCS and pi-calculus. Finally we introduce probabilistic transition systems.
- Textbook: Glynn Winskel, The Formal Semantics of Programming Languages, MIT Press, 1993.
- February - May 2012: Semantica e Teoria dei Tipi (6 CFU).
- Some basic properties of models of computation are studied, like operational and abstract semantics, typing, higher order, concurrency, interaction. Algebraic semantics and elementary category theory are employed, but no prerequisites are required except some elementary knowledge of logic and algebra.
