About the group

Web systems, algorithms and combinatorial optimization at IFMA Campus Imperatriz, Brazil.

What we want to understand

From building systems to analysing algorithms.

  • Web systems and software

    Web systems and software engineering: interfaces, APIs, testing and maintenance of applications in use.

    • web applications
    • software architecture
    • testing and quality
  • Algorithms

    Algorithm design, implementation and analysis, with attention to correctness, performance and computational resources.

    • data structures
    • performance analysis
    • graph algorithms
  • Combinatorial optimization

    Exact methods, heuristics and hybrid approaches to combinatorial optimization, including patterns mined from good solutions.

    • branch-and-bound
    • heuristics
    • pattern mining
  • Artificial intelligence

    Machine learning, data mining and natural language processing for search, information ranking and explainable models.

    • machine learning
    • natural language
    • explainable models

From question to result

  1. Question

    Each project starts from a real problem on campus or in the literature, registered as a research or teaching project.

  2. Experiment

    Depending on the project, the group compares algorithms, measures results or tests a prototype through experiments someone else can repeat.

  3. Shared result

    Results may take the form of papers, algorithms, prototypes or systems in use. How they are evaluated and shared depends on each project.
