About
me
I
am assistant professor (ricercatore) in
computing at DEIS,
Università di Bologna. I am working on a project
funded by the EU (SOCS),
about logic based multi-agent systems. My
research interests are:
autonomous agents and multi-agent systems
computational logics, logic programming,
abduction
negotiation, dialogue, argumentation, and
resource exchange
social aspects of multi-agent systems and
semantics of agent communication
My
personal interests, other than research, are
music and photography.
