Generally, I am interested
in networked distributed systems, scalable Internet services, edge cloud
computing, cloud and Peer-to-Peer systems, economics based algorithms and
systems applied to cloud and peer-to-peer. I am part of the Distributed Systems Group.
I participate in a number
of research and development projects including:
·
DiPET - Distributed
Stream Processing on Fog and Edge Systems via Transprecise
Computing. 2020-2022.
·
LeadingEdge
– Holistic and foundational resource allocation framework for optimized and
impactful edge computing services.
·
Cloudy: Cloudy is a distribution based on
Debian GNU/Linux, aimed at end users, to foster the adoption of hosting
cloud-based services in community network clouds.
Other projects that I've been involved with in the past include:
·
Erasmus
Mundus Joint Doctorate in Distributed Computing EMJD-DC
(2012-2020).
·
LightKone: A
Horizon2020 research project on lightweight computation for networks at the
edge. 2017-2019.
·
netCommons: A
Horizon2020 research project in the CAPS
area, which proposes a novel transdisciplinary methodology on promoting and
supporting the creation of network infrastructures as commons. 2016-2018.
·
Fed4FIRE: A FP7 research project in the FIRE area, which federates the testbeds
developed in individual FIRE projects. UPC has made C-Lab available to Fed4FIRE, which was
developed in the CONFINE project.

domestic users, non-profit organisations such as schools, and small
enterprises, to share their resources and to access massive Grid resources when
needed, envisioning a future in which access to resources is democratised,
readily available, cooperative, and inexpensive (2006-2009).
·
