معرفی
Francisco Moura is an Associate Professor at the University of Minho, affiliated with HASLab/INESC TEC. His research focuses on Systems Software, including compiler design, operating systems, middleware, and performance optimization. He co-founded Eurotux SA, specializing in open-source software and cloud-based systems. His work emphasizes the interplay between performance metrics (efficiency, availability) and software system architecture.
Research interests span distributed systems, database replication protocols, and mobile agent architectures. Notable contributions include studies on partial replication in databases, fault-tolerant group communication systems, and optimizing transaction processing in wide-area networks. Publications highlight practical applications of theoretical models, validated via network simulators and real-world benchmarks.
Publications (2001–2006) address challenges in distributed computing, from mobile agent frameworks for virtual enterprises to latency-reduction techniques in WANs. No scientific awards listed, but active in industry-academia collaborations through Eurotux SA. Advising activities are unspecified in available texts. His work is anchored in HASLab/INESC TEC, a leading center for high-assurance software research.
