In this undergraduate research project, we will initially study techniques for code quality assessment and the production of automated tests. Subsequently, we will explore the use of Artificial Intelligence for evaluating and improving code quality, as well as for the automatic generation of automated tests. The research will use a complex system from the Smart Cities domain as a case stu…
Never before has it been more urgent to restore damaged ecosystems than it is now. The UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration aims to prevent, halt, and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and ocean. It can help eradicate poverty, combat climate change, and prevent mass extinction. Our current environmental challenges are global and relate to many problems in several area…
The digital transformation is still little consolidated in Brazilian society. Improvements in performance and differentiation resulting of such transformation have not yet been fully absorbed in companies and in the public administration. In general, solutions required for implementing the digital transformation in cities and in manufacturing processes combine advanced connectivity and au…
The future internet will result from the convergence of mobile computing with cloud computing, integrating large-scale systems constructed from the composition of thousands of distributed services, running on a large amount of physical and virtual machines, and managing large quantities of multimedia data generated from various sources while interacting directly with the physical world vi…
During the last decade, the Internet made radical transformations in the ways humans communicate possible. At the beginning of me 21st Century, the internet has been both refined and expanded, thereby impacting the lives of a large part of the world population. Recently, with the popularization of the cloud computing and mobile computing technologies and the increasing use of sensor netwo…

In this scientific initiation research, we will initially study techniques for evaluating code quality and automated test production. Next, we will explore the use of Artificial Intelligence for evaluating and improving code quality, as well as the automatic generation of automated tests. The research will use a complex system in the area of Smart Cities as a case study: the BikeSP progra…
Technological advancements have enabled the advent of mobility-on-demand (MoD) systems, which are mostly used in ride-hailing platforms. There is increasing interest in applying this concept to public transportation, particularly in the context of sustainability concerns like reducing carbon footprints. One innovative approach is the implementation of on-demand transit (ODTs). For instanc…
Processes of evictions are characterized by the forced displacement of people from their houses. Obtaining information about these processes poses a research challenge, often tackled qualitatively. Identifying them on a broader scale and thus understanding their effects in large urban centers requires employing other methods and technologies. The diversity of data sources about cities off…
The use of bicycles as a means of transportation brings numerous benefits to society in many ways. For this reason, it is crucial to establish public policies that encourage its use. The financial incentive for cyclists, which exists in some countries where cycling is popular, is one of the current measures for this promotion. In 2016, the City of São Paulo approved a law for this policy …
Quantum computing was born from the idea of creating a machine capable of simulating more complex quantum systems, proposed by physicist Richard Feynman and mathematician Yuri Manin. The effort for such simulations on classical computers grows exponentially as a function of the size of the system, which makes them unfeasible for any problem of interesting size. In addition to this focus, …
Visualizing graphs and trajectory datasets is a key method to analyze such data, as it enables the identification of complex spatial or structural patterns. However, large datasets of such types are hard to visualize, as directly plotting them to images generates much clutter, obfuscating the patterns. Path bundling is a technique that aims to bundle paths in logical ways, minimizing clut…

The increasing demand for efficient and sustainable urban mobility solutions moves us towards new paradigms, such as using Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs). Managing fleets of AEVs requires advanced optimization techniques, but these do not work well for large-scale deployments in dynamic environments. This research project evaluates the potential of Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep R…
Quantum walks are a powerful algorithmic tool in quantum computing. They have proven to be universal for quantum computing and have provided quantum speed-ups in a myriad of applications. Despite all their generality and properties, quantum walks are simple. In particular, discrete-time coined quantum walks are described by the product of two operators, known as the coin and shift operato…
Simplified visualization of multivariate data by trail edge bundling remains an open and complex problem with no real method that targets generic datasets. In this FAPESP Research Abroad project, we will develop an effective and robust method to generically bundle paths with multiple attributes. To aid development time and increase the overall impact, our work will be based on CUBu, the f…
The push towards bicycle use is cities is a part of public policies which aim to promote the use of non-polluting means of transport that contribute to the population's overall health by inhibiting sedentary lifestyles. Deciding where to build cycling infrastructure is crucial to the viability of such policies. In this project we will evaluate data on bicycle trips in cities with public b…
