2010. Flexible workflow management systems in large organizations. Development of a flexible workflow

management system for tracking non-conformance costs. Integration with existing ERP systems.

Technologies: Web development with C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, Hibernate, NUnit testing.

2010. Using Aspects to Document and Enforce Software Constraints. Employed Aspect-Oriented Program-

ming (AOP) for documenting and enforcing different types of software constraints in the code, including archi-

tectural, platform, feature-specific and code-style rules. Technologies: Java and AOP.

2007 2009. UC, Irvine (UCI). Analysis of Flexibility Trade-offs in Publish/Subscribe Infrastructures: Developed

benchmarks and conducted empirical quantitative and qualitative evaluation of different research and industrial

publish/subscribe infrastructures, measuring and comparing their performance, maintainability, reusability, usa-

bility and flexibility. Produced different versatile software design principles and best practices.

Technologies: Java and RMI, CORBA-NS, JMS, JavaSpaces, Siena, YANCEES, OO metrics and analysis.

2003 2009. UC, Irvine (UCI). YANCEES Yet Another Configurable and Extensible Event Service: Developed

a versatile publish/subscribe infrastructure used in support of different awareness and collaborative applications

at UCI and IBM, including the SWIRL project described as follows.

Technologies: XML, XMLSchema, component software, distributed programming with Java and RMI.

2004 2007. UC, Irvine (UCI). SWIRL Effective Security Through Visualizations: Developed software infra-

structures, user interfaces and conducted user studies with Impromptu, an event-driven peer-to-peer file sharing

workspace, which provides security awareness through visualizations. This project investigated the benefits of

different security visualizations, running in different devices, in supporting ad-hoc collaboration.

Main Role: software architect & developer.

Technologies: WebDAV Servlets, multicast DNS (Zeroconf), notification servers, Java ME for PocketPC.

1998 2000. University of Campinas, S o Paulo, Brazil (UNICAMP): WONDER Workflow on Distributed Envi-

ronment: Developed and evaluated the scalability of a distributed architecture for large-scale workflow as part

of my MSc Thesis. This work shows the scalability benefits of a peer-to-peer agent-based workflow manage-

ment system and discusses extra security and management costs induced by the approach.

Technologies: Java, JavaCC, CORBA, Workflow Management Systems, Mobile Agents, benchmarking.
