Welcome to my site,

where I keep some track of the things that I write and other stuff...

 

My name is Salvatore Loreto and I am originally from Italy.

I spent my childhood among Salerno, Napoli, Florence and Nocera Inferiore.
I went to high school (Liceo Classico G.B. Vico) in Nocera Inferiore (a town in Italy closed to Salerno, the Amalfi coast and the metropolitan city of Napoli) and obtained a Master Degree in Computer Science Engineering from the Napoli University "Federico II".

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Networking in the fall 2006 from the Napoli University "Federico II".

Nowadays I live in Helsinki and I work as senior scientist at NomadicLab "MultiMedia Technology" section branch, which is part of Ericsson Research in Finland. There I am involved both in  standardizations and research projects related to Internet, VoIP, Media & Web Communication and Internet of Things (IoT).

 

Currently I am also serving as

  • co-chair of the SIP Overload Control (soc) and of the BiDirectional or Server-Initiated HTTP (HyBi) working groups within the Internet Engineering Task Force: the principal body engaged in the development of new Internet standard specifications based on "rough consensus and running code";
    • SIP Overload Control (soc):The objective of the working group is to develop mechanisms for SIP overload control.
      A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server can suffer from overload when the number of SIP messages it receives exceeds the number of messages it can process (due to not sufficient resources to complete the processing of all incoming SIP messages within the required time).

    • BiDirectional or Server-Initiated HTTP (HyBi) working groups is in charge of WebSocket protocol standardization.
      WebSocket       is a technology providing for bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels, over a single Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket. It is designed to be implemented in web browsers and web servers but it can be used by any client or server application. The WebSocket API is being standardized by the W3C as part of HTML5, and the WebSocket protocol is being standardized by the IETF.
  • Associate Technical Editor and Design & Implementation (D&I) Series editor within the board.

    IEEE Communications Magazine is the flagship monthly publication of the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and is distributed to all ComSoc members (ComSoc is a professional group for communications technologists, with approximately 45,000 members worldwide).
    The D&I Series is included in the Magazine every six months or so and publishes articles that specifically address industry member’s needs for information that will help them build next-generation communications products and services.

 

My research interests include but are not limited to

  • application (e.g. HTTP), signaling (e.g. SIP/SDP, XMPP) and transport (e.g. UDP/TCP/SCTP) Internet protocols;
  • Multimedia, NAT traversal and security;
  • Web Architecture and protocols, WebSocket, Web Real Time Communications and SPDY;
  • Internet of Things (IoT), specifically Web of Things using 6LowPan, Roll and CoAP protocols;
  • Network Neutrality

WebRTC - CFP

Web-Based Communications

IEEE Communications Magazine

The web has shifted away from a document based paradigm to a more distributed and collaborative form of communication.Whereas once the web server was the center of interaction, in today's model, the user and the browser have replaced the web server as the nexus of communications.

...Collaboration between the IETF and W3C also proceeds on extending the web architecture to allow browsers to natively support interactive peer to peer communications in the form of voice- video- or gaming-sessions, and document collaboration in real time. In such architectures, browsers become the source and sink of both media packets that flow directly from a browser to another while web servers are only involved during the "setup" phase of the communication.

 
 
NWeSP 2012

The conference will bring together the world's most respected authorities on semantic web, Web based services, Web applications, Web enhanced business information systems, e-education specialists, Information security, and other Web related technologies. The aim of NWeSP'12 is to serve as a forum to present current and future work as well as to exchange research ideas in this field.

As a member of the Programme Committee
I want invite you to consider to submit your studies and research here: CFP
 
IEEE Com Magazine: Design & Implementations Series VIII

Welcome to the eighth installment of the Design and Implementation (D&I) Series. The goal of the D&I Series is to facilitate knowledge transfer between industry-oriented engineers and scientists...
This installment’s two articles cover three of the most active areas in telecommunications today: cloud computing, IP multimedia subsystem (IMS), and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). more
 
Il Futuro del Web

“Il Web non é morto sta semplicemente crescendo e cambiando, insieme al suo protocollo HTTP che sta diventando il mezzo di accesso a tutte le applicazioni presenti nel Cloud” more
 
IEEE Com Magazine: Design & Implementations Series VII

Welcome to the seventh installment of the Design and Implementation (D&I) Series:  building next-gen applications enabled by broadband wireless.

The goal of the D&I Series is to facilitate knowledge transfer between industry-oriented engineers and scientists. To differentiate from other peer-reviewed, academically rigorous articles on communications technologies, the focus of D&I articles is primarily on the Lessons Learned information gained while designing, implementing, and deploying new communications products, services, and solutions. more
