Pasquale Pagano

The aim of my research is the study and experimentation of models, methodologies and techniques for the design and development of distributed virtual research environments (VREs) which require the handling of heterogeneous resources. A resource is here intended as a generic entity, physical (storage and computing resources) or digital (software, processes, data), that can be shared and interact with other resources to synergistically provide some functions serving its clients, either human or inanimate. Main keywords of my studies are: distributed virtual research environment architectures and protocols, service oriented architecture, grid oriented architecture, service oriented infrastructure.
