Research in PPgSI is organized in two Research Lines:
-
Systems Development and Management: this research line is related to the study, proposal, application and evaluation of Computing techniques and methodologies in the context of development of information systems with strategic value for different application areas. This research line proposes new approaches to be used in the development of Information Systems, as well as to systematically analyze existing ones. Moreover, it also covers the management processes related to information systems, including business processes related to Information Technology. In the context of PPgSI, this line aims at contributing to the advancement of the state of the art and to the practice in research and development in Database, Software Engineering, Information Technology Management and Human-Computer Interaction.
