Tiago Miguel Laureano Alves

I'm a PhD student from the Informatics Department, of University of Minho, Portugal and the Software Improvement Group , Netherlands. My PhD project is about "Techniques for Software Portfolio Understanding" and is financed by a grant from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) with the reference SFRH/BD/30215/2006. Here you can find information about my background, past and present projects and my publication list.

Background

In 2004, I've graduated Computer Science and Systems Engineering in University of Minho.

Between 2004 and 2005, I worked in the Research.IKF project (Research.IKF-P E-Learning Vertical Application Area) financed by a research grant (BI).

Between 2005 and 2006, I worked as "monitor" at the Department of Informatics teaching practical classes of the PLC, PL I and MP III courses. In June 2005 I finished the MSc in Informatics presenting the thesis "VooDooM: Support for understanding and re-engineering of VDM-SL specifications".

Between July 2006 to June 2007, I worked at European Space Operations Center (ESOC) as Young Graduate Trainee (YGT), in Darmstadt, the German facilities of the European Space Agency (ESA).

Finally, since Jully 2007, I've been working as PhD student.

Research Projects

As past projects I have been involved in:

• VooDooM Transform hierarchical formal specifications into its relational equivalent (SQL).
• SdfMetz Computes metrics for SDF, Bnf, Antlr, and Bison.
• 2LT Two-level data transformation.

At the present moment I am working in empirical software engineering, in particular estimating characteristics of software systems. Besides program comprehension techniques I am interested in language engineering.
