Agent-based Software Engineering Workshop 1999

Friday, March 26, 1999

(sponsored by Software Engineering Australia, Victoria)

For this the second agent-based software engineering workshop, we are pleased to present UK agents expert Mike Wooldridge.

Mike Wooldridge obtained his PhD at UMIST in Manchester in 1992 for work in the theory of multi-agent systems. Since that time he has been a lecturer in the Department of Computing at Manchester Metropolitan University, a member of the agent team at Zuno Ltd (Mitsubishi Electric Digital Library Group) in London, where he developed agent applications for information management. Since September 1997 he has been a lecturer in the Department of Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary and Westfield College. He is the founding general coordinator of AgentLink, the ESPRIT-funded European Network of Excellence for agent-based computing, and the author of numerous publications on the subject of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems.

Agent-based software engineering is a new paradigm for developing software in the heterogeneous, open, distributed environment that is the global network of computing.
