Dr Francois Taiani

Formerly at Lancaster University

Research overview

In my research, I focus on the programmability of complex distributed systems (e.g. grids, overlays, wireless sensor networks, social networks). More precisely, I seek to develop approaches and tools to help developers design, develop and analyse large-scale and composite networked applications. Since I finished Ph.D. at LAAS, my research works has taken place at the boundary between Distributed Programming, and Experimental Software Engineering. In the past, I have sought to identify reusable mechanisms and abstractions in large-scale decentralised systems, with a focus on peer-to-peer overlay networks, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and gossip protocols.
