Holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (USP), 2003. In 2014/2015 also took a one year sabbatical at the Department of Informatics of the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio).
Main research area: distributed and ubiquitous computing systems. Currently engaged in projects related to Context Aware Systems, Internet of Things, and Smart Cities.
Coordinator of the Laboratory of Intelligent Distributed Systems (LSDi) at UFMA since 2005, having been engaged in several research projects in cooperation with Brazilian and international research institutions. Member of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
InterSCity is a multidisciplinary project aiming at addressing the key research challenges around smart cities from a software infrastructure point of view. Its goal is to develop an integrated open-source platform containing all major building blocks for the development of robust, integrated, sophisticated applications for the smart cities of the future.
This project proposes models, mechanisms and algorithms for fault-tolerant data stream processing and real-time reasoning based on the concepts of Semantic Informatin Streams, as a natural extensions of Complex Event Processing (CEP) and RDF (a graph-based knowledge model).
The M-Hub/CDDL is a new middleware for context data management (acquisition, distribution, and processing) with broad support for the development of context-aware IoT/IoMT applications with QoC (Quality of Context) requirements. It provides both, QoI (Quality of Information) and QoS (Quality of Service) parameters.
