About

Oliviero Riganelli is a leading researcher at the intersection of cloud computing, telecommunications, and next-generation network infrastructures. His work centers on the paradigm shift toward cloud-native architectures, particularly how platforms can be virtualized and orchestrated to support the demanding requirements of 5G and beyond. Riganelli’s most cited paper, “The Next Generation Platform as a Service Cloudifying Service Deployments in Telco-Operators Infrastructure” (2018), has garnered 13 citations and is a foundational piece in understanding how telecom operators can transition from rigid hardware-based systems to agile, software-defined environments. In this work, he articulates a vision where cloud platforms become the universal fabric for deploying services, blending connectivity with computational resources. His contributions are pivotal for researchers and engineers working on network slicing, edge computing, and service orchestration, offering a blueprint for making 5G truly cloud-native. By addressing the technical and operational challenges of “cloudifying” telco infrastructures, Riganelli has helped shape the discourse on how future networks can be both scalable and intelligent. His research continues to influence the design of platforms that enable seamless, automated service deployments in an increasingly connected world.
