Biography

Marco Antonio Alba Winckler was born in Nonoai (Lat.: 27º 21'30"S, Long.: 52º46'14"W) - RS, Brazil .

He came to Toulouse France in 2000 to work in his PhD thesis (completed in 2004) whose main focus is the navigation modeling of complex Web applications. During the master thesis he worked on remote usability evaluation methods to support the assessement of Web-based interactive systems.

His current research mingles Human-Computer Interaction methods and Software Engineering methods applied to the development of Web-based interactive systems. His goal is to propose models, methods and techniques to support the development of usable, sound and effective Web applications.

Most recent projects include methods to design and evaluate e-services applications for e-Government initiatives (MyCitizSpace and WebAUDIT project) and formal description techniques to dealt with navigation modeling of Web applications (MEDIA Web and SpiderWeb project).

Other topics of interest are:

• Automation of guidelines inspection;
• Model-based usability evaluation;
• Navigation and dialogue modeling through formal description techniques;
• Task models.
