Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Paulo Almeida is a Full Professor of Computer Science at the Federal University of Espírito Santo with over a decade of experience applying ontologies to enterprise architecture and conceptual modeling. A founding member of the NEMO research group and a CNPq productivity fellow, he has driven the development of OntoUML tools and core ontologies grounded in UFO, including leading the gUFO implementation. His research spans multi-level conceptual modeling (MLT/ML2) and practical semantic technologies, currently anchored in a FAPES-funded project. An active contributor to the research community, he serves on editorial and advisory boards and on steering committees for major conferences like EDOC and ER. Trained with a PhD from the University of Twente, he blends rigorous formal foundations with tool-building that bridges theory and enterprise practice—often translating ontological principles into usable modeling platforms.
