Short Biography

I'm an Assitant Lecturer in Computer Science at Universidad de Almería. I am a member of the research team Supercomputación: Algoritmos as well as a member of the Department of Computer's Architecture and Electronics.

Over the years,I have written some papers, and given some seminars (Low Level Programming Techniques) and (Security Vulnerabilities caused by poorly designed Instruction Architecture Sets). These pages are permanently under construction. Most sections may appear blank, time is gold. Constructive comments are most welcome.

I can be reached by email at jaberme at acm.org or jaberme at ual.es , and by paper mail at Department of Computer Architecture and Electronics, building CITE-III Matematicas e Informática. Ctra Sacramento S/N. P.O. BOX 04120. La Cañada. Almería. SPAIN.

Teaching

I teach two courses, and make a lot of research on how to create material in order to make the learning process an easy task.

  • Computer Architecture : interconnecting networks.
  • Advanced Device Programming: Computer-Human interaction. Adaptability issues.

An important part of my time is also devoted to educational research, I have guided projects where we developed tools to organize and improve the human resources in schools, big organizations, etc. Also I have wide experience on cooperative groups and everything related to the new teaching models. I am part of the SIGITE group from ACM, dedicated to apply new technologies to education.

Research

I am working with two separate worlds. Object Orientation methodologies and High Performance Computing. I am trying to glue both worlds together. The purpose is to use both worlds together when using medical imaging applications in clustered environments and multicore processors. The underlying idea is quite simple, I do need parallelism and objects offer a natural way of parallelism -messages sent from an object to another will act as two parallel processes, if they share a processor then we can think on some kind of concurrence (atention should be put on methods that cannot be interleaved with other methods, this will break concurrence) -.

You can get more info at the public section of my research (check the menu on your left).

I am member of the ACM special interest groups :SIGACCESS, SIGARCH, SIGITE, SIGSAC, SIGCHI, SIGOPS

But my research is not only centered in the topics described above. I will leave all references to my work (as long I have spare time to do it)  in the Research: public area link .
