Franca Delmastro

I’m a researcher in the Ubiquitous Internet Group of IIT-CNR in Pisa, led by Marco Conti. I began my research activity within the group in 2003, starting the PhD in Information Engineering in collaboration with the University of Pisa.
My research started with the analysis, development and experimental evaluation of routing and middleware solutions for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks in the framework of the EU MobileMAN project (link).
Then, I moved to the more recent networking paradigm called Opportunistic delay-tolerant Networks , always focusing on middleware issues and, specifically, on context- and socio-awareness of mobile applications in this scenario. This activity has been developed within the EU Haggle project (link).
Currently, I'm also interested in pervasive computing and communications for e-Health systems. Specifically, my research focuses on design and development of Personal Health Systems for remote and continuous monitoring of patients.
