====== Presentation ======

{{ :fubica.jpg}}Welcome to my home page! My name is Francisco "Fubica" Vilar Brasileiro. I received the Bachelor's degree in computing science and MSc degree in informatics from the Federal University of Paraíba, Brazil, in 1988 and 1989, respectively. I received my PhD degree in Computing Science in 1995 from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England, for my work on fail-controlled nodes and agreement protocols. In 1989, after a brief incursion in industry, I joined the Department of Systems and Computing of the Federal University of Paraíba (now Federal University of Campina Grande), where I am currently an Associated Professor. My main research areas are in fault tolerance, distributed systems and protocols, with special interest in grid computing and peer-to-peer systems. I am a member of the Brazilian Computing Society, the ACM, and the IEEE Computer Society.
