i-collaboration: Um modelo de colaboração inteligente

Recife, December 3rd, 2008
My name is Eduardo Araujo Oliveira. I graduated in Computer Science
(B.Sc.) from the Catholic University of Pernambuco in 2005 and pursued further
studies through a master degree (M.Sc.) in Computer Science at the Federal
University of Pernambuco, which I concluded in 2008. This letter is aimed to state
my interest in studying at INRIA and research on “Data reconciliation in trust-based
collaboration” (project number 44). Here in below I briefly describe my academic
and practical professional career which led my current interest on researching such
a topic at this time.
Ever since I was studying my B.Sc. degree, I was interested on researching.
I was a student of the Institutional Program of Scholarships for Scientific
Initialisation (PIBIC) of the Catholic University of Pernambuco from 2002 to 2004.
During two years of research as a trainee in PIBIC, I studied areas such as
Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), Computer Supported
Collaborative Learning (CSCL), e-Learning and i-Learning, Groupware, and Mobile
tools. I have worked with Moodle, AulaNET, Groove, Share 360, Blackboard and
other virtual collaborative environments.
During my master studies I researched on the use of Intelligent Agents in
collaborative and mobile works. I proposed the concept of “i-collaboration” or
intelligent collaboration model into my MSc program. This model is composed by a
learning agent which plays the role of a virtual friend integrated with collaborative
tools in virtual learning environments, so that it can act in promotion and in
mediation of collaborative interactions in the environments. At the “i-collaboration”
model, the learning agent provides a unique view (perception) of the environment
to each user. Such a view is based on the user’s own needs and preferences.
Moreover, the model seeks to provide each student the motivation to continue
learning virtually. The proposed model uses intelligent agents and provides
conditions to learn virtually in a mobile way, providing access to students in mobile
phone environments, msn chatterbot agents and others mobile mechanisms
(external to websites environments, not centralised).
Besides my academic activities, since August 2004 I am a system engineer
at C.E.S.A.R - Recife Centre for Advanced Studies and Systems, where I am
currently working on the development for Motorola's Developer Tool suite,
MOTODEV Studio’s. I have been engaged in several projects including Java ME
and SE for Motorola projects since 2004, where I have recently had experience
with mobile applications (Java ME and SE applications, SWT, Plug-ins
development, Eclipse Communication Framework…). I have also the Sun Certified
Java Programmer certification (as required, Java experience for the research
topic).
As a result of my professional background and previous academic
researches, I believe that this is the appropriate time to take deeper research
through an internship during my PhD studies in the fields of collaborative
environments and artificial intelligence. After analysing several programmes in
such areas, I strongly believe INRIA may provide me with valuable skills and
knowledge necessary for a broader and more accurate understanding on my
research topic. Apart of it, as I understand, to foster my academic network abroad
is an important step toward my future as an academic, so I may be able to spread
the knowledge and network of my own place for next generations of researchers at
the UFPE.
Yours Sincerely,
Eduardo Araujo Oliveira.
