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), Associate Professor in 2011 and Full Professor in 2020 at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering 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: Wireless and Mobile Systems' protocols and architectures, Internet of Things, Mobile Applications, Smart Energy Systems, Smart Mobility. Multiple experimentations of wireless testbeds and innovative system and service architectures have been performed leading to implementation of prototypes. Further design and experimentation are performed in the context of vehicular and sensor networks (UAVs), and best effort cooperation-based, crowd-sensing and epidemic services. 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).

He authored more than 115 International Journal and Conference Publications, and he authored 9 book chapters on Wireless and Mobile systems, protocols, modeling and simulation. He served as the General vice-Chair, Program Chair and other chair roles in more than 15 IEEE/ACM International Conferences. He served as Associate Editor of the Wiley's Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal (WCMC, until 2016), Wiley's Security and Communication Networks Journal (SCN, until 2016), Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom), Elsevier's Journal of Network and Computer Applications (JNCA, until June 2017). He is currently serving as associate editor of the Elsevier's Computer Communications Journal (ComCom), Elsvier's Ad Hoc Networks (Ad Hoc), 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 180 International Conferences and Workshops in the area of Wireless and Mobile Systems and Protocols, and in the area of Parallel and Distributed Simulation.
