About Me

I am Associate Professor at Universidade do Minho in the Distributed Systems Group. Most of my teaching and research work focus on dependable distributed systems. In particular, the projects I've been involved deal with fault-tolerant database systems and very large scale reliable communication. I am now concentrated in studying the challenges arising from the Cloud Computing model.
