Research Interests: Ubiquitous computing as a platform for modeling, designing and implementing interactive multimedia documents.
Current research is related to the investigation of distributed
multimodal multimedia systems and their relation to capture-based systems
in general, and exploited in the context of Interactive TV in
particular.
This research is under development in the context of:
A collaborative project funded by FINEP: Evaluation of the
GINGA Middleware for the Brazilian Digital TV System (SBTVD).
Partners: UFSCar, ICMC-USP-São Carlos, UNICAMP, CENPRA,
PUC-RIO, UFPB, C.E.S.A.R., Instituto Genius.
In the context of an international collaboration involving
research groups from France, Argentina, Chile and Brazil (funded by Stic-Amsud/FAPESP): Semantic-based Support for Collaborative Design Activity
The Collaborative TIDIA-Ae Project funded by FAPESP since 2004: http://tidia-ae.incubadora.fapesp.br.
In this project, 20 groups of the São Paulo State are involved in
Both research and development in collaboration and
distance learning supported by high-speed networks.
From 2003 to 2005, I coordinated the Project
Hewlett-Packard Project Applied Mobile Technology Solutions in
Learning Environments funded by HP.
From 2001 to 2004, I coordinated the the InCA-SERVE
Project, which investigated the use of ubiquitous
infrastructures, augmented with multimedia document engineering, in learning environments.
The project was supported by an international cooperation effort involving ProTeM-CC/CNPq in Brazil and NSF/CISE in the U.S., ans is
also supported by FAPESP and CAPES in Brazil.
