Massimo Orazio Spata, Ph.D.

The fundamental purpose of my Job is to research and develop new software architecture solutions for Cluster Computing in order to:

-define an evaluation criterion for scheduling
-manage resources
-define security policies
-reduce cost of hardware resource
-reduce job completion time
-provide methods in order to optimize job throughput

Massimo Orazio Spata, Ph.D.’s Specialties:

My main research interest is Game Theory applied to Grid Computing. Game Theory is a branch of applied mathematics and economics that studies situations where players choose different actions in an attempt to maximize their returns.

Virtualization: is a cornerstone design technique for all cloud architectures. It allows servers, storage, and other hardware to be treated as a pool of resources rather than discrete systems, so that these resources can be allocated on demand.
