Background
Michael Wooldridge is a Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool. He is a member of the Agent Applications, Research, and Technology research group (Agent ART), which carries out both pure and applied research in the area of autonomous agents and multiagent systems.
He has published over two hundred articles in the theory and practice of agent-based systems, including thirteen books in the area. His main interests are in the use of formal methods of one kind or another for specifying and reasoning about multiagent systems, and computational complexity in multiagent systems. Other interests include agent-oriented software engineering and negotiation.
He was elected a AAAI Fellow in 2008, and an ECCAI Fellow in 2007. In 2006, He was the recipient of the ACM Autonomous Agents Research Award. In 1997, He founded AgentLink, the EC-funded European Network of Excellence in the area of agent-based computing.
He is co-editor-in-chief of the Journal Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, an associate editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR), and serve on the editorial boards of the Journal of Applied Logic, Journal of Logic and Computation, Journal of Applied Artificial Intelligence, and Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence. He will be program chair for the 19th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI-2010), to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in August 2010.
