With more than 200 books, articles and reports published, Regis Cabral is a historian of science with a background in physics. For many years he has been working at the interface between those that produce knowledge (universities, but not only universities) and society.
One dimension of this is the start up of new businesses and the generation of employment. This has led to what today is known as the Cabral-Dahab Science Parks Management Paradigm, the ten points that help people to start, manage and/or evaluate science parks, business incubators and similar organisations.
Another dimension of his work is that of international relations. Dr. Cabral has done a good deal of work on the consequences of the spread of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons - a topic which, unfortunately does not disappear.
The interest on the international dimension of knowledge diffusion has taken him back to information technologies and in 1992/93 he set up an Internet server in the Swedish polar area to assist in distance education projects and teaching in South Brazil.
Since then he has continued to work with information and communication technologies. His interest in economic development and management allowed him to combine transaction cost theory with network theory to define innovation. This definition of innovation is quite useful for quantification and further studies.
Dr. Cabral has used this definition of innovation, to advance the concept of Quality of Experience, QoE. The idea is to suggest the reshaping of the telecommunications industry and mobile telephony so as their development is directed from the user' perspective.
