Short Bio
Giuliano Casale received the MEE and PhD degrees in computer engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 2002 and 2006, respectively. He is currently a research staff member at SAP Research UK, where he studies the performance impact of burstiness in service-oriented architectures and ERP applications. From January 2007 to December 2008 he was a postdoctoral research associate at the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA. In Fall 2004 he was a visiting scholar at UCLA studying bounds for scalability predictions of capacity planning models. His research interests include performance evaluation, modeling, capacity planning, and simulation. He is a member of the ACM, IEEE, and IEEE Computer Society.
