Bio information:

Dr. Luciano Bononi received the laurea degree (Summa cum laude) in Computer Science in 1997, and a PhD degree in Computer Science in 2002, both from the University of Bologna, Italy.

In July-October 1997 he cooperated with National Research Council (CNR) Institute CNUCE in Pisa, Italy, on simulation of wireless network protocols. In 2000 he was a visiting researcher at the ImageLab of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of California at Los Angeles. In March-September 2002 he was a postdoc researcher at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna, since October 2002 he was an Assistant Professor (Senior Researcher in 2005) , and from April 2011 he is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bologna, Italy. In April 2012 he was elected as one of the 3 representative members of the technological area in the Academic Senate of the University of Bologna.

His research activity includes: the design, analysis and performance evaluation of Wireless and Mobile Systems' protocols and architectures, the Quality of Service (QoS) and Security management, the distributed resources optimization and the multi-hop communication in wireless systems, and the investigation of adaptation and cross-layering principles applied in wireless and mobile systems protocols. Multiple experimentations of wireless testbeds and innovative system and service architectures have been performed leading to implementation of prototypes for wireless e-ticketing distribution and event-admittance service based on GSM and ad hoc mobile admittance networks. Experimentation on Wireless Community Networks based on the Ad Hoc and Vehicular infrastructureless approach is still work in progress. Further design and experimentation are performed in the context of vehicular and sensor networks, and best effort cooperation-based and epidemic services. The design and experimentation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) services supported by Wireless Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) and vehicular sensor networks is one of the current research activities in this field. Additional research is performed in the field of cognitive radio networks and reinforcement learning techniques, and on the field of Networks on Chip design, modeling and simulation, discrete event simulation, parallel and distributed simulation, IEEE 1516 Standard for Modeling and Simulation (High Level Architecture). The research activity in the field of simulation and distributed simulation included the design, prototype implementation, and testbed evaluation of a new parallel and distributed simulation framework (ARTIS).

He authored more than 70 International Journal and Conference Publications, and he authored 7 book chapters on Wireless and Mobile systems, protocols, modeling and simulation. He served as the General vice-Chair of the 12-th ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM 2009), Program Chair of the 3-rd and 4-th edition of the IEEE International Workshop on Mobility Management and Wireless Access (MobiWac 2005 and 2006), Program Chair of the 3-rd ACM Workshop on Quality on Service and Security for Wireless Mobile Networks (Q2SWinet 2007), Program Vice-chair of the 5-th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS 2008), Program Co-chair of the 5-th ACM International Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Wireless Ad Hoc, Sensor, and Ubiquitous Networks (PE-WASUN 2008), Program co-chair of the 7th European Performance Engineering Workshop (EPEW 2010), Workshop Chair of the 4th IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS 2007), Workshop co-chair of the 12th IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM 2011), Demo Chair for the 4-th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PERCOM 2006). He serves as Associate Editor of the Wiley's Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal (WCMC), Wiley's Security and Communication Networks Journal (SCN), Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom), Elsevier's Journal of Network and Computer Applications (JNCA), International Journal of Smart Home (IJSH) and ETRI Journal. He served as Guest Editor of journal special issues of Wiley's Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC) Journal, Elsevier Computer Communications Journal, Elsevier's Performance Evaluation Journal and Elsevier's Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. He served as Program Committee member in more than 120 International Conferences and Workshops in the area of Wireless and Mobile Systems and Protocols, and in the area of Parallel and Distributed Simulation. He served as reviewer in more than 30 International Journals, including COMNET, MONET, WCMC, ETRI Journal, JCN, IJWMC, JPDC, Performance Evaluation, SIMPRA, WINET, IPL, IEEE Networking, IEEE TPDS, IEEE TMM, ACM MC2R, ACM TOMACS, IEEE TVT, IEEE TMC, IEEE TII, IEEE CL, IEEE IS, IEEE Communication Magazine, IEEE Networking, IJIS, EURASIP JWCN. He served as reviewer in more than 70 International Conferences and Workshops in the area of Wireless Systems and Parallel and Distributed Simulation including MOBICOM, CCNC, DSN, DS-RT, EUROPAR, PADS, MSWIM, MASCOTS, SEFM, GLOBECOM, I2TS, ICC, PERCOM, NETWORKING, PWC, WONS, RealMAN, WASNet, Qshine.
He regularly serves as an expert advisor for the EU commission in the review and evaluation of EU projects in the ICT for Transport (FP6) and ICT for Intelligent Vehicles and Mobility Services for People and Goods (FP7) area.
In June 2005 he received a Certificate of Appreciation from the IEEE Communications Society.

He has cooperated with the Web Based Learning System e-learning project of the University of Bologna, and he is teaching the courses of Wireless Systems and Networks together with a module of the course of Modeling and Simulation at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna, Italy. In the past he was teaching the course of Internet Architecture at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Bologna, and he has been assistant lecturer for courses of Computer Architecture and Web Design.
