RESEARCH PROFILE


My current research is focused around cooperation in agent-based systems, and considers issues of trust, reputation, coalition formation, motivation and emergence. I am interested both in the development of models and theories of trust and reputation, and in the practical application of these models in areas including peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, ad-hoc networks (including MANETs and VANETs) and service-oriented computing. I am also interested in the parallels between biological/social systems and agent-based systems. For example, current work is investigating how bacterial strategies can be applied to agents, the use of agents to model bacteria, and how social features such as the "green-beard effect" can improve performance in P2P networks. I am also interested in wider issues relating to software engineering, methodologies for software development, and computer aided learning.

BACKGROUND


I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Warwick. My primary research areas are multi-agent systems and distributed artificial intelligence, focusing on issues related to cooperation, norms and conventions, and trust/reputation. I am a member of the Performance Computing and Visualisation research group. Prior to Warwick, I was a founding director of software solutions company.
