My research activity revolves around two prominent themes: how to best coordinate an ensamble of digital entities towards a systemic goal, and how to provide “intelligent” support to human activities through digital tools.

As such, I’m doing (or did) research activities in the following fields:

coordination models, languages, and technologies for multi-agent systems
agent-oriented models, languages, and technologies
self-organising mechanisms and systems
socio-cognitive models of behaviour and interaction to enhance coordination mechanisms
logic programming as a form of “Edge intelligence”
blockchain technologies and smart contracts for distributed and decentralised coordination
application of the above to pervasive systems such as the Internet of Things
application of the above to socio-technical systems such as information systems
decision support systems for patient empowerment in healthcare applications
decision support systems for clinical practice in healthcare applications
