Education

MAP-i
2010-Current : MAP-i Doctoral Program in Computer Science
A joint program of Minho, Aveiro and Porto (MAP) Universities with the collaboration of CMU and UT-Austin Universities. The program represents a fusion of the doctoral offers in Computer Science of these institutions and constitutes a unified effort to prepare highly qualified human resources in Computer Science.
MEI
2007-2009 : MsC in Computer Science and Systems Engineering
LEI
2004-2007 : BsC Computer Science and Systems Engineering

Projects

PASTRAMY
2009-2010: Persistent and highly Available Software TRansactional MemorY (PTDC/EIA/72405/2006)
Researcher of project PASTRAMY. Conception, development and evaluation of a virtualized shared storage prototype using XEN hypervisor and its block tap mechanism.
RED
2010-Current: Resilient Databases (PDTC/EIAEIA/109044/2008)
Researcher of project RED. Current work involves database replication, shared storage cluster and storage virtualization. More specifically, the shared-storage cluster approach using mySQL is being ported to a virtualized environment that uses XEN.
Bolt
2009-Current: When using all the different computing devices available to us nowadays we constantly access, edit and create files. We can easily notice that we have a working set of files which are the most important and most intensively used. Often, we want these files to be accessible in different devices and places but it is difficult to keep the files synchronized and up to date everywhere. To make synchronization of files between different devices easier a new set of services has been arising. We call these services Working Set Dissemination Services. Bolt is our project aiming at implementing a Working Set Dissemination Service

Software

DEDISBENCH
DEDISbench is an open source micro I/O benchmark suitable for evaluating deduplication systems by generating blocks with a realistic content distribution. The benchmark also allows running tests with different load intensities and introduces a novel hotspot access pattern for I/O requests.
DEDIS
DEDIS is a novel open source distributed post-processing deduplication system. Its main contribution is a novel optimistic asynchronous mechanism for eliminating duplicated data among virtual machines deployed on several remote hosts. This mechanism along with other optimizations allows achieving nearly native disk I/O throughput for virtual machines even when deduplication is being performed in the background. Additionally, DEDIS is fully distributed, allowing the system to scale, and is resilient to server crashes. DEDIS is implemented within XEN, more specifically, is a reimplementation of the Tap:aio Blktap Driver asynchronous I/O block device.
MET
MeT is a Cloud-enabled framework that can be used alone or in conjunction with OpenStack for the automatic and heterogeneous reconfiguration of HBase. MeT is an workload aware system that provides automatic elasticity for the HBase NoSQL database. MeT not only adds and removes nodes automatically and according to system load, but also reconfigures them according to the observed workloads. As a result, it achieves a significant increase in overall system performance.
