Dr. Onn Shehory

Title: Software Self-Healing: Improving the Quality of Complex Software
Systems

 

Onn Shehory received his B.Sc. in physics and computer science in 1989,
M.Sc. in physics in 1992, and Ph.D. in computer science in 1996, all from
Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel. He was a post-doctoral fellow and
then a visiting assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University,
Pittsburgh, PA from 1996 to 1999. In 1999 he joined the IBM Haifa Research
Lab as a research staff member, a position he holds to date. From 2000 to
2006 he was an adjunct lecturer and senior lecturer at the Technion, Israel
Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel. From 2002 to date he is an adjunct
senior lecturer at Bar Ilan university, Ramat Gan, Israel. Dr. Shehory has
edited seven books and authored over 80 articles. Among his research
interests are autonomic systems, multi-agent systems, system and performance
management, and software engineering. Two of his paper won best paper
awards. From 1996 to 1999 he served as a coordinator, and technical leader,
of an international research project on software self-healing. Dr. Shehory
is an associate editor of the International Journal on Autonomous Agents and
Multi-Agent Systems, and of the International Journal on Agent Oriented
Software Engineering. He is a board member of the International Foundation
for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (IFAAMAS). Dr. Shehory served
as program chair of multiple international conferences including the
International Conference on Autonomic Computing (ICAC 2009) and the
international conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS
2007).

 

Prof. Michael Luck

Title: From Agents to Electronic Order via Norms

 

Michael Luck is Professor of Computer Science and Head of the School of
Natural and Mathematical Sciences at King's College London, where he also
works in the Agents and Intelligent Systems group, undertaking research into
agent technologies and intelligent systems. He is Scientific Advisor to the
Board for Aerogility.His work has sought to take a principled approach to
the development of practical agent systems, and spans, among other areas,
formal models for intelligent agents and multi-agent systems, norms and
institutions, trust and reputation, application to bioinformatics and
health, and deployment and technology forecasting. He is a director of the
International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
(IFAAMAS), was a member of the Executive Committee of AgentLink III, the
European Network of Excellence for Agent-Based Computing, having previously
been the Director of AgentLink II. He is an editorial board member of
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, the International Journal of
Agent-Oriented Software Engineering, Web Intelligence and Agent Systems, and
ACM Transactions on Autonomous and Adaptive Systems, as well as for the
SpringerBriefs in Intelligent Systems series. He was also general co-chair
of the Ninth International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent
Systems (AAMAS 2010), held in Toronto, Canada in May 2010.
