Curriculum

Fausto Spoto si occupa di:

  1. Analisi e verifica di software, in particolare di codice scritto in linguaggi a oggetti, finalizzata a inferire proprietà di correttezza e sicurezza del codice analizzato;
  2. Sviluppo di strumenti di analisi statica, con particolare attenzione alla loro scalabilità, affidabilità e mantenibilità;
  3. Ingegneria del software, specificamente di tecniche, strumenti e metodologie di programmazione;
  4. Tecniche per lo sviluppo metodologico di applicazioni concorrenti e mobili, in particolare nei linguaggi Java e Android; primitive per la concorrenza, librerie concorrenti, modelli di sviluppo di codice Android affidabile;
  5. Linguaggi e tecniche per lo sviluppo e l'analisi di smart contract per blockchain.

Le sue pubblicazioni vertono principalmente nell'ambito dell'analisi statica e dell'ingegneria del software.
Le sue competenze si rivolgono a società che sviluppano software, di dimensione medio-grande, interessate alla progettazione e implementazione di applicazioni complesse, anche in ambito mobile e concorrente, con metodologie e tecniche che ne aumentino la qualità ingegneristica e la correttezza.
