Research Interests

My research focuses on developing systems with cognitive and social capabilities. My research interests include:

Models of Cognitive & Autonomous Agents; Agent Learning; Organisation and Regulation in Artificial Agent Societies; Knowledge Representation of Interactive Systems as Games; Computational Logic Tools for Multi-agent Systems; Programmable Agents; Multi-Agent Systems Platforms; Service-Oriented Computing.

The work is being applied in social computing applications such as Ambient Intelligence, Connected Communities, GRID and Cloud Computing, Business Continuity, and Computer Games.
