About the Reviewers

JoĂŁo Ferreira Loff has an MSc in Computer Science and Engineering with a major in software engineering from Instituto Superior TĂ©cnico (www.tecnico.ulisboa.pt), University of Lisboa, Portugal. His interest in Cloud computing emerged from his master's thesis, where he researched predictive elasticity for Cloud applications.
He currently collaborates with the Distributed Systems Group at INESC-ID Lisboa (www.inesc-id.pt), a nonprofit computer science and electronics research institute, where he researches the latest developments in Cloud computing provisioning, elasticity, and scalability.
As a part of his research he developed Vadara, a generic Cloud computing elasticity framework that allows for the development of elasticity strategies that are decoupled from Cloud providers (https://github.com/jfloff/vadara). The foundation of this framework has been the subject of a published work at a top tier Cloud computing conference.
