Opera

Labor omnia vicit improbus et duris urgens in rebus eges­tas.

Pro­duc­tion is orga­nized into four groups.

The first group—Papers—includes book chap­ters, jour­nal arti­cles and con­fer­ence com­mu­ni­ca­tions. The list of ref­er­ences is pre­sented in reverse chrono­log­i­cal order. Click­ing on a doc­u­ment’s title pro­vides access to the full text of the paper.

The sec­ond group—Tech­ni­cal Reports—com­prises doc­u­ments pre­pared as part of tech­ni­cal ser­vices for var­i­ous enti­ties. When per­mit­ted by the terms of ser­vice, the con­tent is avail­able online.

The third group—Teach­ing Notes—con­tains the notes I pro­vide to stu­dents of the fol­low­ing courses: Fun­da­men­tals of Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems (under­grad­u­ate level), Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems Audit­ing (grad­u­ate level), Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems Secu­rity Man­age­ment (grad­u­ate level), and Man­age­ment of Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems (grad­u­ate level). For his­tor­i­cal rea­sons, two doc­u­ments related to Com­puter Pro­gram­ming courses are also included. Only the most recent edi­tions are listed. Cur­rently, these teach­ing notes are avail­able exclu­sively to my stu­dents in those courses.

Finally, the fourth group—Soft­ware Devel­oped—lists IT appli­ca­tions I have cre­ated or adapted.

Software Developed

Conum

• Cod­ing and test­ing of the numer­i­cal com­put­ing soft­ware Conum, 1995.

• Conum was devel­oped as the com­puter appli­ca­tion that imple­mented the numer­i­cal com­put­ing algo­rithms pre­sented and dis­cussed in the book Com­putação Numérica (Numer­i­cal Com­put­ing, in Eng­lish) by Pro­fes­sor Edite Fer­nan­des.

  At the begin­ning of the appli­ca­tion’s devel­op­ment, the pro­gram­ming lan­guage For­tran was used. Shortly there­after, due to the inter­est in cre­at­ing an inter­ac­tive graph­i­cal appli­ca­tion that could run in a Win­dows envi­ron­ment, the deci­sion was made to switch to Turbo C++.

  At the time, the appli­ca­tion was dis­trib­uted on a 3½ floppy disk that accom­pa­nied the book.

  The main numer­i­cal com­put­ing pro­ce­dures imple­mented in Conum are as fol­lows, grouped by chap­ter top­ics:
