About

I am Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Informatics Department of University of Minho, where I teach Fault-Tolerant Distributed Systems. I serve as a member of the Board of Directors of INESC TEC, director of the Minho Advanced Computing Centre, and co-director of the UT Austin Portugal program. I am the national representative to the EuroHPC JU.

I received my PhD. degree in 2000 from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. My main research contributions have been in the field of fault-tolerant distributed agreement and epidemic communication algorithms and in the conception, development and assessment of dependable database systems. I have coordinated the H2020 SafeCloud project on secure processing in the Cloud and the FP6 GORDA project on open database replication, two previous national projects on scalable dependable databases, ESCADA and StrongRep, and the U. Minho team in the FP7 CumuloNimbo and LeanBigdata projects. I published over 100 research papers on large scale and dependable distributed systems, and served on the programme committee of several highly reputed conferences. I chaired the PC of IFIP DAIS and IEEE SRDS, and served as general chair of SRDS and ACM Eurosys.

Abstract
The performance and scalability of byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) protocols for state machine replication (SMR) have recently come under scrutiny due to their application in the consensus mechanism of blockchain implementations. This led to a proliferation of proposals that provide different trade-offs that are not easily compared as, even if these are all based on message passing, multiple design and implementation factors besides the message exchange pattern differ between each of them. In this paper we focus on the impact of different combinations of cryptographic primitives and the message exchange pattern used to collect and disseminate votes, a key aspect for performance and scalability. By measuring this aspect in isolation and in a common framework, we characterise the design space and point out research directions for adaptive protocols that provide the best trade-off for each environment and workload combination. © IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2020.
