Antonella DI STEFANO

Professoressa ordinaria di Sistemi di elaborazione delle informazioni [ING-INF/05]

Antonella Di Stefano è professore ordinario del Gruppo Ingegneria Informatica (SSD: ING-INF 05) presso il DIEEI dell'Università di Catania dove insegna "Programmazione Orientata agli Oggetti" e " “Sistemi Distribuiti e Big Data".

Da diversi anni focalizza la propria attività di ricerca sui sistemi distribuiti di grandi dimensioni. Nel corso della sua ricerca, ha proposto contributi significativi relativi a modellazione, analisi, valutazione e progettazione di architetture software, algoritmi e protocolli con particolare enfasi rivolta alle problematiche di scheduling e discovering delle risorse, alla gestione della QoS ed all'ottenimento di servizi garantiti.

In particolare si è occupata di architetture Grid, Peer-to-Peer, Cloud e Fog, per le quali ha proposto soluzioni per il routing, la resource discovery, allocation & scheduling, la fault tolerance e la Quality of Service (QoS) management.   Risultati scientifici sono stati prodotti nello sviluppo di modelli, architetture ed algoritmi per agenti mobili e nella loro applicazione a vari scenari applicativi distribuiti. Particolare rilievo ha avuto lo studio di uno schema innovativo di naming, discovering e coordination di agenti mobili in ambienti di grandi dimensioni  efficace nel la localizzazione, anche in presenza di dinamiche critiche di migrazione e altamente affidabile, in grado di garantire il reperimento dell’agente anche in condizioni di guasti nelle fasi di migrazione.

L’attività di ricerca su tematiche riguardanti le Grid è confluita in diversi lavori di ricerca e progetti nazionali ed internazionali. In quest’ambito  si è occupata dello scheduling delle risorse in scenari best effort e QoS guaranteed. A supporto della garanzia della QoS nell'allocazione dei job in ambiente Grid, ha  proposto pattern per la gestione dell'advance reservation e strategie di allocazione dei job QoS-based nei cluster di workstation, che è stato applicato agli scheduler PBS ed LSF, e integrato nei middleware OGSA compliant Globus e GLite.

In ambito P2P si è occupata di protocolli di discovering QoS-based user-centric scalabili e fault tolerant. Ha proposto strategie flessibili ed adattative di allocazione in grado di far fronte a improvvise fluttuazioni di disponibilità di risorse, causate da repentine e impreviste variazioni di carico e da fault. Queste soluzioni si sono dimostrate particolarmente utili per scenari come il Cloud, caratterizzati da stringenti requisiti di scalabilità ed elasticità.

In ambito Cloud, per l’utilizzo ottimale delle risorse, ha anche lavorato ad un sistema modulare di Workflow Management (IWoM -Iaas Workflow Manager), integrabile con diverse piattaforme IaaS (pubbliche o private), che permetta ai Cloud provider di offrire ai propri clienti un modo semplice per comporre i flussi di lavoro con requisiti QoS e distribuirli automaticamente su un middleware IaaS . In questo quadro, ha proposto strategie per ottimizzare la performance isolation delle macchine virtuali di un sistema cloud. Ha anche definito un modello di gestione autonomico, lato utente, per monitorare e controllare il comportamento delle applicazioni degli utenti in un ambiente Cloud, in grado di modificare a run-time il mapping componente/Virtual Machine/Physical Machine con l’obiettivo di ottimizzare il rapporto tra lo sfruttamento delle risorse assegnate e il loro costo. Alcuni risultati di questa ricerca hanno riguardato lo sviluppo di soluzioni Cloud per Smart Cities.

Tra le soluzioni proposte per il routing e lo scheduling distribuito,  va evidenziato l’algoritmo bio-ispirato, denominato “Alienated Ant Algorithm” (AAA), che a differenza di altre stategie di Ant Colony optimization mira a bilanciare i flussi di instradamento e l’utilizzo di risorse. Questo algoritmo è stato applicato con successo alla distribuzione del carico su larga scala. Le caratteristiche di totale distribuzione, adattività alle variazioni di risorse, e fault tolerance hanno permesso  la gestione efficiente e scalabile di diversi requisiti di QoS. L’AAA è stato impiegato per l’allocazione di risorse di data center cluster, per il monitoraggio e il controllo di sistemi distribuiti e delle reti di sensori wireless e per il routing nelle Software Defined Networks. Gli algoritmi ACO based e AAA sono stati applicati al planning dei mezzi di soccorso e alle strategie di fuga in ambiente urbano in caso di eventi sismici. L’attività di ricerca più recente ha anche riguardato strategie di orchestrazione dei servizi containerizzati e l’intelligent transportation.
