Short Biography

Vincenzo De Florio is a post-doctoral researcher with the PATS research group of the University of Antwerp

He is one of the recipients of the 2013 Faculty Award of IBM.

Within PATS Vincenzo is responsible for the PATS' task force on adaptive-and-dependable systems, i.e. software, devices, and services that are built so as to sustain an agreed-upon quality-of-service and quality-of-experience despite the occurrence of potentially significant and sudden changes or failures in their infrastructures and environments. The research interests of Vincenzo can be best visualized via the following image, composed after the titles of Vincenzo's publications (until April 2010):

Vincenzo published 3 books (one as author, two as editor), 24 journal papers, 3 book chapters, and 80+ conference papers. His H-index is 13. He is or was member of several program committees for international conferences and workshops such as PDP (International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing), ARES (the International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security, SSDU (the International Workshop on Service, Security and its Data management technologies in Ubi-com), and DASC (the IEEE International Symposium on Dependable, Autonomic and Secure Computing). He was co-founder and co-organizer of the international workshop ADAMUS (on Adaptive and DependAble Mobile Ubiquitous Systems), for which he also served as co-chair in its third and fifth editions. He is co-inventor of a European patent. One of his algorithms is in use at CISCO (Service Provider Video Technology Group, R&D Division, Belgium) for dynamically load balancing and parallelizing the nightly tests of a digital television content-processing embedded device. Vincenzo is holder (with Prof. Blondia) of the course "Seminarie Computernetwerken".

Vincenzo was co-proposer and principal investigator of project ARFLEX (Adaptive Robots for FLEXible manufacturing systems, IST-NMP2-016680). Vincenzo is the Editor-in-chief of IJARAS, the International Journal of Adaptive, Resilient and Autonomic Systems.
