Antonio Corradi is a Full Professor of Computer Networks and Infrastructures supporting Cloud and Big Data at the University of Bologna's School of Engineering, within the Department of Computer Science - Science and Engineering. His roles include President of the regional CLUSTER RER for service innovation, President of the Alma Mater FAM Foundation, and Director of the UNIBO High Studies Center in Buenos Aires. He previously served as Director of the DISI department (2018–2021) and International Delegate for Latin America (2014–2018). His research focuses on distributed systems, middleware for pervasive computing, cloud solutions, mobile systems, smart cities, Industry 4.0/5.0, and 5G communication standards.
Education: Laurea cum laude in Electrical Engineering (University of Bologna, 1979) and a Master's in Computer Engineering from Cornell University (1981, supported by a Fulbright-Hayes grant). He joined the University of Bologna as a Researcher in 1983 and became Full Professor in 2000.
Research interests span distributed/parallel systems, middleware for mobile agent systems, cloud computing, smart city monitoring, and Industry 4.0 protocols. He emphasizes QoS-aware solutions, edge computing, and IoT integration. His work includes designing frameworks for big geospatial data and novel architectures for serverless and fog computing environments.
Selected scientific awards include the 1980 'Cavalieri del Lavoro' prize for his thesis. He actively contributes to institutional duties, including the CCIB (Computer Services Centre of the Engineering School) and CINI Bologna University Section (Italian Interuniversity Consortium).
In advising and grants: He coordinates PhD programs and has led projects funded by MIUR, CNR, and European initiatives. Notable collaborations include industry grants with Jakala, OTConsulting, ENAV-Sicta, and the Zefiro Consortium. His projects address challenges in energy efficiency, smart manufacturing, and healthcare management during crises.
Labs/Teams: Developed platforms like SOMA and REDMAN middleware. Involved in initiatives such as ParticipAct (mobile crowdsensing), COLOMBO (vehicular traffic monitoring), and the Audit4Cloud platform for cloud performance auditing.
