"Literature encourages tolerance - bigots and fanatics seldom have
any use for the arts, because they're so preoccupied with their
beliefs and actions that they can't see them also as possibilities."

Northrop Frye, writer (1912-1991)

Research

Multiagent Systems [conversation protocols, communication languages, social commitments]
Software Engineering [OOSE, agile development].

I am a computer scientist with research interests in multiagent systems (that is, autonomous task-oriented programs working in the same environment) and software engineering (which deals with techniques to build reliable programs in a timely and cost-effective way.) In multiagent systems, I aim at identifying rational and social concepts to build tools automating agent collaboration, from message meaning to protocol specification to team formation. In software engineering, I aim at exploring abstractions and techniques improving our understanding of software construction and testing, from programming language constructs to design patterns to automated functional testing of graphical interfaces.
