IBM Scientific Prize

The IBM Scientific Prize was created in 1990, and it distinguishes outstanding research in any one of the areas referenced in the ACM Computing Classification System (1998). With this prize, IBM wants to stimulate young Portuguese researchers to divulge their work and to promote the interaction among the academic, industrial and research communities.

Work that received the prize: Tolerância a Intrusões em Sistemas Informáticos

Finalist at the EU Descartes Prize for Research

The Descartes Prize is awarded, since 2000, to teams of researchers who have achieved outstanding scientific or technological results through collaborative research in any field of science, including the economic, social science and humanities. Applications must have been completed through a collaboration involved at least two mutually independent legal entities in two different Member States or in a Member State and an Associated State. However, provided these minimum requirements are met, research collaborations can involve teams outside the European Union.

Work that received the prize: Investigator at project Malicious-and Accidental-Fault Tolerance for Internet Applications (MAFTIA)
