Alberto Rodrigues da Silva

Alberto Rodrigues da Silva is a Professor at the Institute Superior Técnico, part of the University of Lisbon. He teaches Fundamentals of Information Systems, primarily during the 1st Semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. His scientific interests revolve around Information Systems, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), Requirements Engineering (RE), Social Computing, and Software Engineering.

He has extensively contributed to the development of rigorous requirements specification languages like RSL (Requirements Specification Language) and its extensions (e.g., RSL-IL4Privacy for privacy policies). His collaborative work spans automated acceptance testing, GDPR compliance, and domain-specific languages (DSLs) for applications such as mobile development, digital twins, and legal contexts (e.g., LegalLanguage).

His research trends focus on integrating model-driven engineering with privacy policies, IoT applications, and low-code platforms. He has also explored tools like Maestro for data classification and usability testing, and RiverCure for flood simulation.
