I hold a PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from the Técnico, after a MSc and a
Licentiate degres in Electrical Engineering and Computer.
I am Associate
Professor at the Técnico,
in the scientific area of Information Systems of the Department of Computer Science
and Engineering. and researcher at the INESC-ID, as present coordinator
of the IDSS - Information and
Decision Support Laboratory.
My main teaching and research domains have been information systems
analysis, conceptual modeling and management, business process
management modeling (convering concerns of requirements engineering,
BPM challenges, enterprise architecture, and management of business
information systems in general; as techniques, I'm used with
ArchiMate, UML, BPMN, ontologies for conceptual models, etc.). In
research, I also have had a particular focus and impact in the
domains of digital libraries and achives, and recods management.

Some relevant highlights (present or past activities):
- DElix - Lisbon Winter
School on Data Science and Engineering (it has been a
great rewarding experience...)
- eArchiving
Building Block - "eArchiving provides the core
specifications, software, training and knowledge to tackle
the challenge of short, medium and long-term data
management and reuse in a sustainable, authentic,
cost-efficient, manageable and interoperable way" (the
research of our IDSS
research group at the INESC-ID
is one of the contributions to this great achievment)
- ISO
TC 46/SC 11 WG 14 Records requirements in enterprise
architecture - "The purpose of this project is to
create a common reference for records professionals and
enterprise architects about requirements for records
processes and systems." (a great experience as project
manager for the first outcome of this work, the new
forthcoming ISO
TR 21965 Information and documentation -- Records
management in enterprise architecture)
- BND - National Digital Library
(work done while at the National Library of
Portugal)
Europeana (involvement started while at the National Library of
Portugal and continued at the INESC-ID, within the scope
of several R&D and technology transfer projects, notably
REPOX...)
- ARQUIVO.PT (the notable
Portuguese Web Archive, triggered by small seed from the National Library of
Portugal)
- EuDML - "EuDML makes
the mathematics literature available online in the form of
an enduring digital collection, developed and maintained
by a network of institutions" (I proudly was the
project manager for the building of this great
initiative...)
- DCMI -The Dublin Core
Metadata Initiative (past memmebr of the Advisory
Board...)
