Laboratory of Applied Research to Distributed Systems (PASID)
Founded in 2017 at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI), the Laboratory of Applied Research to Distributed Systems (PASID) is a CNPq-registered research group focused on performance evaluation, dependability, and analytical modeling of distributed systems. PASID investigates the behavior, scalability, and reliability of modern computational infrastructures, applying stochastic models, simulation, and experimental methods to areas such as Internet of Things, cloud and edge computing, e-Health, smart environments, blockchain, secure communication platforms, and unmanned aerial vehicle systems.
The laboratory brings together undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral researchers in a collaborative environment that connects scientific production with applied technological development. PASID’s research has resulted in qualified publications, funded projects, software tools, and partnerships with public institutions, companies, and universities in Brazil and abroad.
Through collaborations with national institutions such as UFRPE, UFAL, UnB, UFPA, UFC, UNICAMP, USP, and UFPE, and international partners including Aalborg University, University of Tartu, University of Helsinki, Dublin City University, Sapienza University of Rome, University of Salerno, Konkuk University, and the Max Planck Institute, PASID contributes to the advancement of distributed systems research with academic rigor, innovation, and practical impact.
