Publications and Research Interests


We are working on component models for distributed-memory parallel programming, aimed at high performance computing (HPC) applications. Component-Based High Performance Computing (CBHPC)  has been emerged to deal with large scale and complexity of emerging applications in HPC. In such context, we have proposed the Hash component model, a concern-oriented approach to build parallel programs by overlapping composition of #-components. We are also interested any aspect about  parallel programming, including their languages and tools, covering theory, design, and implementation. Our favorite formalisms are Category Theory, Petri Nets and CSP.
Our research is funded by CNPq (National Council for the Scientific and Technological Development), the main research funding agency of Brazil, under grants 475826/2006-0 (2006-2008), 480307/2009-1 (2009-2011) and 486021/2011-4 (2012- …)
