Short Bio

Luciano Paschoal Gaspary holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science (UFRGS, Brazil, 2002). He is currently Deputy Dean and Full Professor at the Institute of Informatics, UFRGS. From 2019 to 2022, he served as the Editor-in-Chief for Springer’s Journal of Network and Systems Management (JNSM). From 2008 to 2014, he worked as Director of the National Laboratory on Computer Networks (LARC) and, from 2009 to 2013, was Managing Director of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC). Prof. Gaspary has been involved in the area of network and service management for over 20 years. In recent years, his group has made contributions in network function virtualization, virtual networks, as well as in data plane programmability to solve long-standing and emerging management problems. Prof. Gaspary is the author of more than 130 full papers published in leading international peer-reviewed publications and has a history of dedication to a number of research activities. He served as General Co-Chair for LANOMS 2005, TPC Co-Chair of IFIP/IEEE DSOM 2009, TPC Co-Chair of IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2002, General Co-Chair for CNSM 2014, and in several other Organizing Committee roles of past IM, NOMS, and CNSM conferences. He also participated as an editorial board member of various journals.
