Research interests

Pierluigi Plebani’s research interests are mainly focused on Web service retrieval. He is developing a tool based on UDDI, named URBE (Uddi Registry By Example), which implements matchmaking algoritms based on functional and non functional requirements. The proposed approach has been mainly adopted in frameworks which allow Web service substitutions. In particular, Web services are considered in multi-channel information systems, where the functionalities are provided through several channels and exploiting several deviced (PDA, PC, Smartphone). In this scenario, Web service substitution might occur in case the Web service is no longer available, or is not reachable, or even if data provided does not satisfy a given set of constraints.

His research has also focused on data quality in cooperative information systems and the information systems security assessment.

Web service retrieval

The proposed retrieval mechanisms are based on matchmaking algorithms able to evaluate the similarities among Web services. These algorithms takes into account both the syntax to be respect to properly invoke a Web service, and the semantic aspects associated to this syntax.

Web service quality

Web service retrieval also considers quality aspects and a matchmaking algorithm is proposed. Quality offered by a Web service provider should actually not correspond to the quality really perceived by final users. Influence of networks and devices about quality of a Web service has been analyzed and a model able to capture such an influence is proposed. In addition, starting from the work at IBM Research Labs, a run-time monitoring mechanism has been defined.

Data Quality in Cooperative Information Systems

Design of an architecture for data quality management that allows the control and improvement of data quality through the analysis of organizational processes.

Information systems security

Design of methodologies and policies to ensuring distributed information systems.
