Expertise: Ca’ Foscari University of Venice has consolidated experience in three key areas of telecommunications. The first concerns models, algorithms, and software for distributed systems and telecommunications networks. The primary objective is to improve the quality of service of distributed systems, defined as the level of security, performance, scalability, and reliability. Application areas include the study of wireless networks, cloud systems and distributed ledgers (blockchain), IoT systems, and highly distributed software architectures.
The second area is cybersecurity, which involves applied cryptography, network and web security, as well as formal method-based techniques for specifying and verifying the reliability and security of software systems. Research is conducted rigorously, with the aid of formal verification methods, and is aimed at improving the state-of-the-art in real-world system security.
Finally, the third area concerns the guarantee of Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile networks (especially cellular networks), which allows users to satisfy service requests while respecting the required constraints. This goal can be achieved through predictive Machine Learning (ML) algorithms (especially mobility and/or next-cell prediction), while also ensuring an adequate level of security, thanks to modern Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) techniques. The issue of QoS guarantee in next-generation mobile networks (5G and beyond) and the integration with ML approaches represent fundamental aspects for future sixth-generation (6G) networks.
