Tiago Miguel Laureano Alves

Since July 2007 I'm a PhD researcher from the Informatics Department, of University of Minho, Portugal and the Software Improvement Group , Netherlands. My PhD project is about "Benchmark-based Software Product Quality Evaluation" and is financed by a grant from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) with the reference SFRH/BD/30215/2006. The thesis was submitted on November 2011. 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).

Between June 2009 to August 2009, I've participated in the Space Studies Program 2009 from the International Space University at NASA Ames Research Center.

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 defining methodologies and techniques to assess software product quality. Besides program comprehension techniques I am interested in language engineering.
