Software Engineering and Fault Tolerance Research Group

The Software Engineering and Fault Tolerance Research Group is part of the Distributed Systems Laboratory (LSD) in the Institute of Computing at University of Campinas (UNICAMP).
Our main research focus is on object-orientation and fault tolerance, aimed to the development of new methods and tools that can be applied to improve the quality of software intensive systems.
We are specially concerned with those aspects related to dependability, such as availability, reliability, and security, and our current research efforts can be classified under the following areas:

Exception handling;

Computational reflection;

Software architecture;

OO frameworks and design patterns;

Software fault tolerance;

Design diversity in software;

Component-based development;

Software development processes;

Software engineering environemts;

Fault tolerance of distributed systems;

(Coordinated) atomic actions.

If you have questions or comments about us please send them to the Chair:

Prof. Cecília M. F. Rubira email(cmrubira@ic.unicamp.br).
