Vitor Barbosa Souza

Short bio:
Vitor Barbosa Souza, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Informatics Department (DPI) of the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Brazil. He has Bachelor's Degree (2006) and a Master's Degree (2010) in Computer Science at UFV and a Ph.D. (Cum Laude) in Computer Architecture at the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Spain (2018) with focus on advanced network architectures. He has been a member of European projects such as H2020 mF2C and H2020 GUAU. Also, he is a guest editor of MDPI Eletronics: Special Issue on Resource Management in Cloud/Edge Computing, and active reviewer of relevant journals such as ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), International Journal of Communication Systems (IJCS), Computer Communications, and Internet of Things Journal. Recent work is related to the provisioning of Control-as-a-Service in highly dynamic and heterogeneous fog environments and the employment of machine learning techniques for enhanced QoS in collaborative service-oriented architectures.
