Research Activities

Research interests

My domain of research is Multi-Agent Systems and I am a member of the MAS 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
  • Web Intelligence project. Rhônes-Alpes regional project (2006-2008)
  • ART project: Agent Reputation Testbed. Collaboration with the University of Texas , National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in Amsterdam  and Artificial Intelligence Research Institute in Bellaterra .
  • Integration of the functional ontology of reputation into the agent reputation testbed. Collaboration with the Laboratório de Técnicas Inteligentes (LTI) of the University of Sao Paulo . Supported by FAPESP 2005/02902-5.
Past research projects
