WHERE COGNITIVE SCIENCE MEETS COMPUTER SCIENCE


Dr Patrícia Dockhorn Costa is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil. She received her MSc and PhD degrees from the University of Twente, the Netherlands. Her research interests include the development of situation models, situation specification languages and implementation platforms. She investigates model-driven approaches to allow realization of situation detection from high-level situation specifications. Her team has been working on a framework to support the development of Situation-Aware applications, which includes (i) a Situation Modeling Language (SML) to allow graphic expression of primitive situations and complex situations involving the composition of situations; and (ii) a distributed implementation platform to allow rule-based situation specification and situation lifecycle management. She has coauthored more than 30 peer-reviewed papers on context- and situation-awareness and served as reviewer for numerous scientific conferences and journals.
