I am Full Professor at the Alma Mater Studiorum, the University of Bologna. As a researcher, I am working on coordination, agents, software engineering, intelligent systems, simulation, and self-organisation. As a professor, I am teaching distributed systems, multi-agent systems, and autonomous systems. I have two wonderful sons, Enea & Noè, and I play basketball. I like reading books and comics, listening to many sorts of music, as well as watching / playing almost every kind of sports. I am also slightly technology-addicted, and maybe not-so-slightly Apple-bound. Food, drinks, and all the other sorts of pleasures of the flesh? Well, of course: I am Italian, after all.
