Armanda Rodrigues is an Associate Professor at Departamento de Informática, FCT/UNL. She joined the department in 2002, where she teaches courses and develops research in Computer Science and Geographic Information Technology. She is an integrated member of Multimodal Systems Group of NOVA LINCS and is interested in Web-GIS, Emergency Management and Geo-collaboration. The main issues in Armanda’s research are inspired from very practical and real situations, characteristic of different computational environments where geospatial information and context are relevant. From this initial setting she is interested in providing models, methods, tools and infrastructures that may enable improvements in the use of Web/Mobile GIS systems, particularly focusing in changes in context and in collaborative environments. She has developed research toward enabling geo-collaborative integrative environments involving heterogeneous information sources and structured user hierarchies. Armanda has been involved in several International and national research projects related with Geographic Information Systems, Simulation, Web-GIS and Geo-Collaborative Systems with case studies in the areas of Emergency Management, Digital Heritage and Agronomy. She is the author and co-author of several GI Science and Computer Science peer reviewed publications. She has also reviewed and served in the program committee of various GI national and international conferences as well as peered review journals.
