João Paulo A. Almeida is associate professor at the Computer Science Department of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil. He is a member of the Ontology and Conceptual Modelling Research Group (NEMO). His research addresses ontology-based conceptual modeling, enterprise modelling and model-driven design of enterprise systems.

João Paulo received his Computer Engineering degree in 1998 from the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Vitória, Brazil), and his Master of Science in Telematics degree from the University of Twente in 2001, with the master thesis entitled Dynamic Reconfiguration of Object-Middleware-based Distributed Systems developed at Lucent Technologies Bell Labs Twente. He joined the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology at the University of Twente in September 2001, and received his Ph.D. from that university in 2006, with the Ph.D. thesis entitled Model-Driven Design of Distributed Applications (supervised by Prof. dr. ir. Chris Vissers, Dr. ir. Marten van Sinderen and Dr. Luís Ferreira Pires.)

During 2006, he worked as a Scientific Researcher for the Telematica Instituut on the application of model-driven approaches to the design of services and service-oriented architectures. In 2007, he held a position of adjunct researcher at the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology of the University of Twente. Since 2007, he has been working on the application of ontologies in enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling.
