Paulo Sérgio Lopes de Souza received a Ph.D. from IFSC/USP in 2000, researching High-Performance Computing and Process Scheduling. He held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Southampton / UK (2010/2011), in partnership with Prof. Ed Zaluska, investigating testing concurrent programs. He was a professor at UEPG for 14 years (1991/2005) and has been working since 2005 at the Department of Computing Systems at ICMC/USP in São Carlos, where he develops his activities as an Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Distributed Systems and Concurrent Programming (LASDPC), advising Doctoral, Master, Scientific Initiation and TCC students. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses such as computer architecture, operating systems, high-performance computing, parallel programming, computer networks, and data structures. He received several honors for the courses taught at graduation. He is responsible for research and university extension projects. In academic administration, he serves in leadership positions and on various committees. He is currently Vice-Mayor of the USP Campus at São Carlos and Vice-Coordinator of the Information Systems Course. He reviews projects and articles for research funding agencies, journals, and conferences. He has already organized different events in his area of expertise and is the editor of special editions in international journals. He is a member of SBC (Brazilian Computing Society), where he works in Computer Architecture and High-Performance Processing, Computing Education, and Software Testing in Parallel and Distributed Programs. He is a member of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery). (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Computing is considered pervasive and distributed nowadays. Computing Systems take part in different sectors of the society and interact to improve our life quality. Concurrent programming takes part in such systems, offering primitives for the interaction (communication and synchronization) of processes. These primitives are widely used and are responsible for defects that are difficult …

Machine Learning (ML) has gathered a lot of interest from industry and academia as it increases the range of tasks that can be performed by computers: speech recognition, sentiment analysis, cancer detection, and much more. Neural Networks (NN) are a particular branch of ML that has achieved great popularity after winning recent well known image recognition contests; however, they can tak…
Due to the abundance and importance of proteins, a greater knowledge about these molecules is known to be of great interest to science. However, laboratory experiments for studying them are expensive and lengthy, which led to the arising of studies on computational methods for predicting the behavior of proteins, which includes its tridimensional structure (3D). The problem of determining…
The testing of concurrent programs is essential to ensure quality for current distributed and parallel applications under development. Although essential, this testing activity is not used properly, due to factors such as high cost of execution, large gap between industry and academy results and access to tools to automate the testing. This project aims to define the parameters related to…

The TestPar project aims to support the concurrent programs testing activity. This master's project aims to improve the structural testing of concurrent programs activity by providing a web services composition, bringing to this testing activity the benefits offered by Web services. This service composition involves two levels of interactions: interactions between clients (desktop tools …
Distributed computing is constantly improved by technological advances offering new solutions and services. Different aspects from concurrent software guide the distributed applications development. Despite intensive use of communication and synchronization in concurrent processes, there are deficiency of both mechanisms and tools to support activities related to quality assurance in this…
