Gabriel de Sousa Torcato David

I got a Ph.D. in Informatics, Artificial Intelligence branch, at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 1994.

I am currently Associate Professor at the Informatics Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), where I teach in the areas of databases, data warehouses, and digital preservation.

I have participated in the creation of the joint Doctoral Program in Computer Science (MAP-i) of the Universities of Minho, Aveiro and Porto and I have integrated its Scientific Committee from 2007 to 2023. I participated in the creation of the Information Science Bachelor (2001) and Master (1997) Programs jointly taught by the Engineering and Humanities Faculties and I integrate the corresponding Scientific Committees.

I am a member of the Scientific Council of the Engineering Faculty since 2010. I was a member of the General Council of the University of Porto in the mandate 2013/2017.

I have led the development team of SIGARRA, the U.PORTO Academic Information System, from 1996 to 2010.

I am a Researcher at INESC TEC since 1985, integrating its Administration since 2015. My main research interests are in Information Management, Digital Preservation, and Databases. I have been the leader of the projects FCT DBPreserve on preservation of databases, Gulbenkian APDIC on digital preservation plans and EEA Grant SeaBioData on research data management. I have participated in the project FCT EPISA on archival knowledge representation in the semantic Web. I participate in the EU Teaming project INESCTEC.OCEAN on the creation of a Centre of Excellence in Oceanic Engineering.

I have collaborated between 2000 and 2010 in the project Cooperation with the National University of Timor Leste led by the Foundation of the Portuguese Universities, as coordinator of the Informatics Engineering bachelor (2006-2010).

I am a member of the Engineers Portugal association where I have belonged to the Board of Admission and Qualification from 2010 to 2016.

Projects

DBPreserve

The project explores the application of DW technology to the preservation of complex electronic records. In more detail, the project will study: - properties that the DW must possess, according to the standards already established (like the Open Archives Initiative); - rules of transformation from operational systems into DW, adopting a process-centric but integrated view, which guarantees those properties; - a XML version of the DW, though the DW model is already very simple and thus fulfills the requirement of platform independence required by long-term preservation; - metadata needs, beyond the data in the operational database, to preserve the meaning of the processes, most often just implicit in the data but present in organizational procedures and in software development documentation; - application to the human resources system of a concrete institution, now undergoing an important reorganization; - assessment of the results obtained with the help of external experts.

Human-Centered Computing and Information Science

The Centre for Human-Centered Computing and Information Science (HumanISE) brings together engineers, scientists, and designers with expertise in Human-Centred Computing (HCC), Computer Science (CS), and Information Science (IS). Interdisciplinarity, one of the Centre’s defining features, fosters the development of software systems, methods, and tools designed to empower individuals and their communities. The excellence and impact of HumanISE’s research, innovation, and consultancy activities allow addressing increasingly complex, volatile, heterogeneous, ambiguous, and uncertain challenges, while ensuring compliance with legal, ethical, and organisational standards and frameworks. Value transfer is achieved through close collaboration with academia and industry partners. HumanISE’s core research areas include Human-Computer Interaction; Computer Graphics and Interactive Digital Media; Information Management and Information Systems; Software Engineering; and Large-Scale and Special-Purpose Computing Systems, Languages, and Tools; as well as Computing for Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems. HumanISE also explores innovation domains like Earth, Ocean and Space Sciences; Personalised Health Research; Geospatial Information Systems Engineering; and Applied Information Systems and Computing.
