Curriculum Vitae

Luciano Lenzini holds a degree in Physics from the University of Pisa, Italy. He joined CNUCE, an institute of the Italian National Research Council (CNR) in 1970. From 1973 to 1974 he worked on computer networks at the IBM Scientific Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He has since directed several national and international projects including (in chronological order): RPCNET, the first Italian packet switching network; STELLA, the first European broadcasting satellite packet network and OSIRIDE, the first Italian OSI compliant network. Furthermore, at the end of the 1970s, in cooperation with Robert Kahn and Vint Cerf (the inventors of TCP/IP), he led the team that installed the first Internet nodes in Italy (the second country in Europe after the UK). The interconnection of the Italian section of Internet with USA and UK ones was done via a SATNET gateway.

In 1994 he joined the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa as a Full Professor. His current research interests include the design and performance evaluation of: MAC protocols for wireless networks, architectures and protocols for mesh networks, and the Quality of Service provision in integrated and differentiated services networks. He is currently on the Editorial Boards of Computer Networks and the Journal of Communications and Networks as area editor for wireless networks. He served as general chairman for the 1992 IEEE Workshop on Metropolitan Area Networks, for the 2002 European Wireless Networks and for the First International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools (ValueTools) which was held in Pisa in October 2006, of which he is a co-founder. He served as guest editor of several journals. He has been involved in several national projects and European projects of the 5th and 6th framework program.

Teaching

Courses on Networking for the Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria Informatica

The world of networking is in continuous and rapid evolution, both in terms of technologies (e.g. wireless networks) and the design of new architectures (e.g. IntServ, DiffServ) that can support the integration of multimedia traffic (voice, video and data).

In the framework of Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria Informatica the various aspects of Networking are developed into two courses of approximately 90 hours each.

The first, [Computer Networks] will take place in the first year and is mandatory for all students. The second, [Advanced Networking Architectures and Wireless Systems] will take place in the second year and is only mandatory for students who are part of the Networking and Multimedia program. Basically, the first is concerned with consolidated topics whereas the second is a course on cutting edge technologies and architectures.

Projects

Research interests

The main research area of prof. Luciano Lenzini is Quality of Service in multi-service networks, therein including:

  • QoS-oriented scheduling algorithms
  • traffic modeling and characterization
  • advanced network architectures (e.g. IntServ and DiffServ)
  • network simulation and testbedding tools
  • Network Calculus
