The research focuses on networked control systems which are systems composed of physically distributed smart agents that can sense the environment, act on it, and communicate with one other through a communication network to achieve a common goal.

The research focuses on:

The research focuses on the analysis of the main theoretical properties of this class of systems, with possible applications in the context of genetic regulation networks. Ongoing projects are the following:

The research focuses on industrial communication networks, that are real-time communication systems deployed in several application contexts such as, for example, factory automation, motion control, process automation, networked control systems, building automation and automotive systems.These specific types of networks have to cope with the tight requirements typical of the industrial scenario. Particularly, they have to provide real-time performance as well as high reliability and robustness. The main research topics are the following:

The semiconductor industry is one of the most technology-evolving and capital-intensive market sectors. The speed and effectiveness with which new products are developed have an important influence on market competitiveness. Efficient control of manufacturing operations is well recognized to be a source of competitive advantage.
