Research Activities

Research interests

My domain of research is Multi-Agent Systems and I am a member of the ISCOD group of ENSMSE. More specifically I am interested in:
  • Trust and Reputation in MAS (see our Reliability and Robustness research theme for more details)
  • Ambient Intelligence (see our MAIA research action for more details)
  • Multi-Agent Systems and Component-Oriented Programming (see our ISMA research action for more details)
Full list of my publications
Current research projects
  • ForTrust project. French ANR project "Security and Computer Science" (2007-2010). Collaboration with the IRIT (France) and Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies, Rome
