Distributed Systems Laboratory (LSD)
The mission of the Distributed Systems Laboratory (LSD) of the Institute of Computing (IC) of the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) is to carry out research and development to improve the reliability and performance of distributed systems.
LSD was formed in 1996 with funds from a thematic project FAPESP (process 96 / 01532-9). During its existence LSD trained dozens of Doctors, 30 (until 2018), and Masters (155 until 2018) and received resources from
FAPESP, CNPq, CAPES, NSF (USA) and European Community (Horizon, FP7). Today, researchers trained by the Laboratory are part of teams from Universities and Companies around the world. Several of the results of the research carried out at LSD have been incorporated into
national and foreign companies.
