Research Interests: Ubiquitous computing as a platform for modeling, designing and implementing interactive multimedia documents.

Current research is related to the investigation of distributed multimodal multimedia systems and their relation to capture-based systems in general, and exploited in the context of Interactive TV in particular. This research is under development in the context of:

From 2003 to 2005, I coordinated the Project Hewlett-Packard Project Applied Mobile Technology Solutions in Learning Environments funded by HP. From 2001 to 2004, I coordinated the the InCA-SERVE Project, which investigated the use of ubiquitous infrastructures, augmented with multimedia document engineering, in learning environments. The project was supported by an international cooperation effort involving ProTeM-CC/CNPq in Brazil and NSF/CISE in the U.S., ans is also supported by FAPESP and CAPES in Brazil.
