Free University Amsterdam
Department of Artificial Intelligence
Head: Prof. Dr. Jan Treur
Research Groups:
- Agent Systems Research Group
- Head: Dr. Catholijn M. Jonker
- Main Themes: Analysis and Specification of Dynamics of Behaviour of Agent
Systems often studied in other disciplines like Biology, Cognitve Science, and
Organization Theory with the aim to further all those disciplines.
- Intelligent Interactive Distributive Systems
- Head: Prof. Dr. Frances Brazier
- Main Themes: The IIDS group aims to support the development of flexible,
adaptable architectures for intelligent interactive distributed systems. The research
programme focuses on the design and development of middleware to support the design of
large scale agent systems, including services such as an agent factory and agent
directory services.
- Knowledge
Representation and Reasoning
- Head: Prof. Dr. Frank van Harmelen
- Main Themes: The KR&R group investigates modelling and representation of
different forms of knowledge and reasoning, as found in a large variety of AI systems.
We have an interest in both applications and theory. We study theoretical properties of
knowledge representation and reasoning formalisms, but are also involved in developing
practical knowledge-based systems. Recently, we have been very active in developments
around the Semantic Web.
- Computational Intelligence
- Head: Prof. Dr. Guszti Eiben
- Main Themes: The groups mission is to perform research on various aspects of
computational intelligence.
