My research interests include:

• Distributed artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems.
• Cooperation and coalition formation.
• Software architecture and design.

I am involved in the RETSINA project, where we design and implement agents to cooperatively perform tasks of information gathering from multi-modal web sources and decision support upon this information. We investigate issues of real time performance, load balancing, interleaving planning and execution, communication and coordination protocols, and human-computer interface.

The RETSINA framework is used in several other projects in which I participate: Thales, Agent aided command and control, and Warren.

artificial intelligence, game theory, and multi-agent systems

• Intelligent Software Agents - Here, researchers explore multi-agent planning and scheduling, multi-agent learning, multi-agent negotiation, and decision support for human teams

• Agent Aided Command and Control
• Aircraft Maintenance - A wearable software system that uses RETSINA agents to assist in the process of documenting and making repairs to aircraft.
• Ecommerce Institute - The function of the Institute is to serve as a focal point for Electronic Commerce activities at Carnegie Mellon, to offer degree programs and executive education and to conduct research.
• Integrating Intelligent Assistants into Human Teams (Joccasta) - A multi-disciplinary research project designed to increase the effectiveness of team decision making in joint planning tasks.
• Reusable Environment for Task Structured Intelligent Network Agents - An architecture for developing distributed intelligent software agents that cooperate asynchronously to perform goal-directed information retrieval and information integration in support of a varie
• Thales - Satellite visibility forecaster
• WARREN - The WARREN system is a multi-agent application that is designed to help users monitor and manage their financial portfolio.
