EMIF

The EMIF project aims to develop a common information framework of patient-level data that will link up and facilitate access to diverse medical and research data sources, opening up new avenues of research for scientists. To provide a focus and guidance for the development of the framework, the project will focus initially on questions relating to obesity and Alzheimer’s disease.

I have been in charge of developing the EMIF Catalogue which is an on-going work of the IMI-funded research project EMIF (European Medical Information Framework). The main idea of Catalogue will be aggregate summarized data from disperse databases. Furthermore, I'm working in integration of this component with other components of the EMIF Platform.

Another tool, that I have been involved is "Taska", is a collaborative and easily extendable workflow-oriented system designed to manage processes of data extraction and data handling.

Open Source and other iniciatives

Dicoogle

Dicoogle is an Open Source platform for medical image. It is a PACS that replaces the traditional PACS database by an indexing and retrieving engine.

The new paradigm introduced with the Dicoogle index engine is that it can potentiate queries over a set of distributed DICOM repositories, which are logically indexed as a single federated unit. To implement this and other DICOM services in a peers’ federation it is used a Peer-To-Peer (P2P) network.

Steve

Steve is a visual stimulation application designed to help all those who suffer from cerebral visual impairment. With Steve's training programs, everyone will realize that the world is much more beautiful when discovered.

Open Monitor

Open Monitor is a project developed by Umit Project, and was started during Google Summer of Code 2011. Its goal is to provide real time data about internet censorship and restrictions world wide. This is a free service that runs on top of our free and open source software, and we’re working hard on it in the hope that it will be useful for people facing these issues anywhere in the world.

More info

Umit

Umit Project is an open source international software organization in Computer Networking. The project was born in 2005 in Nmap's Organization and it became an independent organization in 2007. The aims of Umit Project is to make life easier for network administrators and for other users that want to be aware of what is happening in their networks.
Umit Project currently have two main concerns in Networking: Network Scanning and Packets Manipulation/Sniffing. Umit's Network Scanner is a graphical interface that offers network mapping capabilities, discovering of hosts, services and track changes in the network. It is also valid for Bluetooth Network Devices.

At the other hand, the Packet Manipulation/Sniffing have other goals: create protocols, packets, send packets, sniffing, protocol testing, help on network software development tests, and other very cool features available throught a backend library and a nice frontend. Umit Project has being supported by Google Summer of Code since 2005, and never failed a participation until this year. Umit Network Scanner has even appeared in The Bourne Ultimate movie, helping the CIA to crack into a journalist's account to find out where was he going to.

Google Summer of Code

Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. I worked in GSoC since 2007 mainly with Nmap and Umit projects. In this section I present the tasks I performed every year.

  • 2009: In the GSoC 2009 I mentored 2 students doing an Security Audit Framework and a Sniffing/Inject network packets library.
  • 2008: In the GSoC 2008 new features comming for Umit Project.
  • 2007: In the GSoC 2007 Interface Editor was accepted by Umit Project.

About

Luís Bastião Silva (also known as Bastiao) is working at BMD software, as a CTO. His main fields of expertise are software architectures, scalability, data integration and big data exploration. In the last 15 years, he worked mostly designing software architectures, and he worked mostly with Java, Python, NodeJS and Golang ecosystems, mostly bringing innovation for medical informatics. He is author and co-author of several innovative software and open source initiatives used world wide, such as, Dicoogle, EMIF-Catalogue and Montra.

Bastião work closely with Engineering (Internal and Partners Team) and Business Strategy on developing new ideas and integrations which extend into on-premises customers. Lastly, through customer interactions he continue champion their challenges and needs to help further improve products and services.

His main programming and skills are: software architecture design, developing web applications in #Java, #Golang, #NodeJS, #Python (PlayFramework, Jetty, Django). I’m also experience with deployment applications in productions, #Windows Servers, UNIX (#FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Linux distros), #Docker, #Kubernetes, HAproxy, nginx, application servers (Tomcat, uwsgi, etc) and general IT experience (for instance, experience with #AWS Console, Google Console, #Azure Services and #VMWare ESXi, vCenter).
