I'm an assistant professor of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) in the Centro de Ensino Superior do Seridó (CERES) at the Departamento de Ciências Exatas e Apilicadas (DCEA), where I teach in the Information Systems course. My main research topics are Network Security, Machine Learning, Dynamic Programming, Hybrid Intelligent Systems, Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.

Courses

Google Summer of Code

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. I worked in GSoC since 2007 mainly with Nmap and Umit projects. In this section I present the tasks I performed every year.
2009
In the GSoC 2009 the proposal about Zion and RadialNet improvements was accepted by Umit Project. The proposal can be found here and the development website here.
2008
For the GSoC 2008 I created one page with some ideas for Umit and Nmap projects. The proposal I wrote can be found here. Due to mastering courses I had no time to work in GSoC this year.
2007
In the GSoC 2007 RadialNet was accepted by Umit Project. For more information related to this project you see the initial proposal, the project website and the Umit website.

Projects

Butija
It is a software to catalog many electronic documents format like pdf, ps, djvu, chm and many other without restrictions. The project was interrupted years ago. Visit the project website for more information.
Clann
This library was developed in a mastering engineering course of Artificial Neural Networks. You can see the project website for more information.
Destate
It is a software developed for the Discrete Events Systems mastering engineering course. You can see the project website for more information.
RestaUm
It was developed in a mastering engineering course of Reinforcement Learning. The software purpose is to be a language independent peg solitaire game simulator, view and server. Where the communication between client and server is done by a simple plain text protocol. Visit the project website for more information.
Umit
It is a network security project that I work for since 2007. Almost all my research is implemented in some sense in Umit. Visit the project website for more information.
