Full CV

Teaching

This academic year, 2012/13, I am teaching the following modules. Course materials are available from the College's e-learning site.

• Internet Systems (6CCS3INS)
• The Internet (7CCSMINT)

Research

My research interests relate to e-research (particularly the provenance of data), and multi-agent systems (particularly agent-oriented software engineering and normative systems). Since 2000, I have published over 90 papers in these areas. A selection of my recent journal articles are listed below.

• Evolutionary Testing of Autonomous Software Agents, Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, in Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2012.
• Requirements for Provenance on the Web, in International Journal of Digital Curation, 2012.
• Using Normative Markov Decision Processes for Evaluating Electronic Contracts: A Case Study in a Simulated Aerospace Aftermarket, in AI Communications, 2012.
• Special Issue on the Eighth European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems (EUMAS 2010), in Applied Artificial Intelligence, 2012.
• PrIMe: A Methodology for Developing Provenance-Aware Applications, in ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2011.
• The Open Provenance Model Core Specification (v1.1), in Future Generation Computer Systems, 2011.
• Mapping Attribution Metadata to the Open Provenance Model, in Future Generation Computer Systems, 2011.
• A Model of Process Documentation to Determine Provenance in Mash-ups, in ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, 2009.
• Provenance: The Bridge Between Experiments and Data, in Computing in Science and Engineering, 2008.
• The Provenance of Electronic Data, in Communications of the ACM, 2008.
• Extracting Causal Graphs from an Open Provenance Data Model, in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2008.
• The First Provenance Challenge, in Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2008.
• The Requirements of Using Provenance in e-Science Experiments, in Journal of Grid Computing, 2007.
• Provenance-based Validation of E-Science Experiments, in Journal of Web Semantics, 2007.

Projects

I am currently a co-investigator on the following projects. Please see my CV for past projects.

• Electronic Health Records for Clinical Research (EHR4CR)

I am an invited expert to the following standards body.

• W3C Working Group on Provenance

In particular, I am co-editor of a primer on the forthcoming W3C model for provenance data, called PROV. Any feedback on the current draft of the primer is very welcome!

• PROV Model Primer (W3C Working Draft)

PhD Students

I am currently first supervisor of the following students (areas of expertise in italics).

• Valeriia Haberland: Negotiation strategies, Grid systems
• Christopher Haynes: Norms, emergence
• Benjamin Herd: Verification, agent-based simulations

I am second supervisor of the following students.

• Lina Barakat: Service selection and composition
• Paraskevi Zerva: Non-functional properties, provenance, composite services

I am not taking on further PhD students at the moment.

Conferences

I am involved in the organisation of these forthcoming workshops and conferences. Please see my CV for past activities.

• Fifteenth International Workshop on Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms in Agent Systems (COIN), 2013, PC member
