Bio
Giuliano Casale
received the MEE and the PhD degrees in computer engineering from the
Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 2002 and 2006, respectively.
From January 2007 he is postdoctoral research associate at the
College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, where he studies
the performance impact of burstiness in systems. In Fall
2004 he was a visiting scholar at UCLA studying bounds for
queueing networks. His research interests include performance evaluation, modeling, capacity planning, and simulation. He is a member of the ACM,
IEEE, and officer of the IEEE Hampton Roads section.
