Nilmax Moura’s Summary

I am a Ph.D. student in Information and Computer Science at University of California, Irvine. My track is Software Engineering and currently I am doing research in CSCW, software design, and SCM. My particular research focuses on how to best support developers’ coordination needs in a software development process. I also have personal commitment to always explore and integrate different computer science fields. At this manner I developed my skills in other areas such as software testing, computer networking and database.

  - TDE project
  Test Development Environment (TDE) is a tool that automatically generates test cases from previously created UML 2.0 models. The tool has been successfully used on several Siemens products to reduce the effort in creating and maintaining integration test suites. Project Manager: Dr. Marlon Vieira.

  - TDE project (described previously)
  - Global Studio
  Global Studio Project (GSP) was an empirical study of global software development practices that involved observation and analyses of artifacts to judge distributed project effectiveness. This methodology was used to implement a tool that allows the user to draw a UML diagram of a performance model and, from this diagram, get the performance metrics by using an already existing performance simulation package. Project Leader: Dr. Alberto Avritzer.

• Adjunct Professor

  Universidade Federal Fluminense

• Graduate Research Assistant

  Universidade Federal Fluminense

  (Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)

  January 2005 — March 2007 (2 years 3 months)

  - IC-VoIP Project
  In this project I performed an analysis of several VoIP sources, where the sources are capable of adapting their transmission rates. We proposed an algorithm for the adaptive adjustment of the transmission rate of VoIP sources, based on the voice quality estimated at the receiver. I implemented all the features required for my dissertation over a period of 2 years. I wrote my Master’s dissertation and published 2 papers describing the results of this research.

• Intern
