Dilma M Da Silva
My primary research interests are operating systems, distributed computing, and high-end computing.
I received my PhD in Computer Science in 1997 from Georgia Institute of Technology. I was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, from 1997 to 2000.
I intend to add my papers to this page, but until I do that you can take a look at my CV and find my older papers either here or at my very old page.
