AIDA:
Adaptive, Intelligent and Distributed Assurance Platform
PhD Researcher
The project aims at improving a platform used by Mobileum for integral risk management in
companies. This platform ensures revenue, corporate conditions and fraud control for
companies. Thanks to the newest version of the platform, developed by AIDA, companies will
be able to collect and monitor data in an extremely flexible way, with real time guarantees,
security and reliability.

SNOB-5G:
Scalable Network Backhauling for 5G
PhD Researcher
SNOB-5G will carry out the research and development of a self-optimised, intelligent and
fault-tolerant wireless backhaul solution for 5G networks that will empower cities, as
neutral hosts, in the 5G business, by promoting total connectivity with a high-bandwidth,
capacity and latency requirements, capable of accommodating new and innovative urban
services. The new and robust technological solution for 5G deployment may use existing urban
furniture to overcome the current limitations related to the availability and installation
costs of wired connections that support the backhaul communication.

ISSRE 2020:
International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering
Webmaster
The annual International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering (ISSRE) is focused on
innovative techniques and tools for assessing, predicting, and improving the reliability,
safety, and security of software products. ISSRE will be organizing its 31st edition in
Coimbra, Portugal, and will continue to emphasize scientific methods, industrial relevance,
rigorous empirical validation and shared value of practical tools and experiences as paper
selection criteria.

TalkConnect: Voice Architecture over Distributed Network
PhD Researcher
The TalkConnect project aims at research and implement a new solution which combines multiple
direct telco connection with third party Communication Platform as a Service (CPaas)
providers with global coverage. One of the main cornerstones of this work is related to
ensuring the security of the platform and of the communications. More precisely, these are
cloud environments that typically use microservice architectures and virtualisation
environments to deploy such application exacerbating security concerns that need to be
addressed.

METRICS:
Monitoring and Measuring the Trustworthiness of Critical Cloud Systems
Master Researcher
Cloud is pervasive nowadays, but its adoption in critical systems is limited by trust issues,
mainly influenced by security, dependability, privacy, fairness and transparency concerns,
as per the recent GDPR regulation. Organizations, businesses, and customers need to know how
much they can trust in the cloud systems storing and managing their sensitive data or
executing their business processes. As a evolving concept, the trustworthiness of the system
must be continuously monitored and measured, but there is a lack of means to do that in
cloud environment. This project aims to propose a framework and means for monitoring and
assessing the trustworthiness of cloud systems. This includes the definition of
trustworthiness properties, their continuous measurement and analysis. The solution can also
be used to monitor whether the data of individuals is handled properly. The project’s
outcome will be demonstrated in a big data analytics system used in city traffic management
and improvement.

QUATIC
2018: Quality of Information and Communications Technology
Volunteer
The International Conference on the Quality of Information and Communications Technology
(QUATIC) serves as a forum for disseminating advanced methods, techniques and tools for
supporting quality approaches to ICT engineering and management. Practitioners and
researchers are encouraged to exchange ideas and approaches on how to adopt a quality
culture in ICT process and product improvement and to provide practical studies in varying
contexts.

ATMOSPHERE:
Adaptive, Trustworthy, Manageable, Orchestrated, Secure, Privacy-assuring, Hybrid Ecosystem
for REsilient Cloud Computing
Master Researcher
ATMOSPHERE is a project aiming at the design and development of an ecosystem comprised of a
framework and a platform enabling the implementation of next generation trustworthy cloud
services on top of an intercontinental hybrid and federated resource pool. The framework
considers a broad spectrum of trustworthiness properties and their measures. The platform
supports the development, build, deployment, measurement and evolution of trustworthy cloud
resources, data management services and data processing services, and is demonstrated on a
sensitive scenario consisting of a cloud-enabled secure and trustworthy application for
distributed telemedicine.
