MARCO SCARPA

Formazione e posizioni lavorative

Marco Scarpa received the degree in Computer Engineering in 1994,
from University of Catania, Italy. and the Ph.D. degree in Computer
Science in 2000, from University of Turin, Italy.
He is currently full professor of Computer Engineering at University of Messina.
He is stable referee of several international conferences and computer Science journals such as: “IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing”, “IEEE Transactions on Parallele and Distributed Systems”, “International Journal of System and Sciences”, “Performance Evaluation”, “Journal of Computational Science”, and many others.
He served as guest editor of a special issue of Performance Evaluation (Elsevier); he is currently editorial board member of the Journal of Distributed Sensor Network” and Area Editor of EAI Transactions on Cloud Systems.
He has been involved in many Technical Program Commitees of international conference.
His research activity includes reliability and availability analysis of distributed systems, wireless sensor networks, algorithms for management of opportunistic access in cognitive radio systems, algorithms for solution of non Markovian stochastic Petri net, phase type distributions, and software performance evaluation techniques especially applied to
distributed systems. Recently, he started a collaboration with industries in efficient music recognition algorithms field.
He has been actively involved in several research projects.
He coordinates the developments of WebSPN, a software tool able to manage stochastic Petri nets with generally distributed firing times for the study of system performances and reliability, and MAGNET, a C/C++ software library providing easy management and implementation of complex Markovian Agent based models.
