I am a tenured professor of Information Systems at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon, Portugal, where I lecture bachelor, master and doctoral degree course on enterprise architecture, business process management, conceptual modelling, and object-oriented analysis and design. The main focus of my research is the application of semantic computing to aid the representation, analysis and design of enterprise archiecture models. I conduct my research activities as a senior researcher at the Information and Decision Support Systems group at INESC-ID, and participate in knowledge-transfer projects for the public and private sectors as coordinator and consultant at the Centre for Organizational Design & Engineering at INOV. I am regularly engaged in European framework R&D programme projects , such as TIMBUS, E-ARK and 4C. I regularly serve the program committee and editorial boards of international information systems conferences and journals, and organize international events on enterprise modelling and engineering. I am a member of ACM, IEEE, INCOSE, The Open Group, and CIAO Enterprise Engineering Network.
