Carlo Caini received the Dr. Ing. Degree (summa cum laude) in
Electronic Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in
1986. At present he is with the Department of
Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering
"Guglielmo Marconi" (DEI), of the same University, as Associate
Professor of Telecommunications. His teaching experience
includes a wide variety of courses on different fields of
Telecommunications.
His present scientific interests are related to the study of the DTN (Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking) architecture and to its application in space environments (Interplanetary Internet and satellite systems). In particular, they are focused on the study of the Bundle Protocol (BP), Transport protocols (TCP, LTP) and DTN routing algorithms (CGR). A significant part of the research activity is devoted to the implementation of these protcols and algorithms (Unibo-BP, Unibo-LTP, Unibo_CGR, ECLSA) and to the design and development of DTN application and tools (DTNperf, DTNchat, DTNbopx, DTNproxy, DTNfog, LTPDrop, etc.), all as free software. He has also been contributing to the development of the virtual testbed manager "Virtualbricks".
He participates to several international research projects, He is author of many international publications on these and other topics. He is member of IEEE Communications Society.
