Giuseppe Patanè's skills in Computer Science


Fields of interest

A number of papers, involving several of the topics above, have been published. They can be found in the related section


Operating Systems

UNIX and LINUX

  •  Very good knowledge of LINUX and, in particular, of networking. Such a knowledge has been mainly developed thanks to the administration of the computer system of his research group. Giuseppe Patanè has been performing this since the period of his master theses. A remarkable know-how has been acquired because of the management of the MULTISOFT machine, a cluster of PCs for distributed computing that will be described in the related section. In particular, he has dealt with:

Windows

  • Expert user of Win 95, Win 98, Win Me, Win NT, Win 2000.
  • knowledge of Windows domain management by Win NT. It has been acquired during the period when Giuseppe Patanè was the organizer of the computer system at the ``Prefettura'' of Messina.

Programming languages

  • General purpose programming languages: C, C++, Java, Matlab, Perl, Javascript
  • Description languages for digital design: VHDL
  • Programming languages for Automated Test Equipments: ATL
  • Description languages for texts and hypertexts: HTML and Latex

Development tools and environments

  • Open-source tools (vi, Xemacs, gcc, gdb, gpro, ...) both in the Unix and the Windows operating systems
  • “Altera Max+Plus II” and “Quartus II” for digital hardware design with FPGAs by Altera
  • “Microsoft Visual Studio” for the development of applications and Dynamically Linked Lbraries (dll)
  • “Java Software Development Kit”
  • “Netbeans IDE” (integrated development environment) for Java applications and applets in the Unix and the Windows operating systems
