Prof. Marie-Pierre Gleizes — UPS / IRIT, France

Bio: Marie-Pierre Gleizes is Full Professor at the University Paul Sabatier of Toulouse and researcher at IRIT (Institute of Computer Science in Toulouse – France, www.irit.fr). She manages the laboratory strategic axis about ambient intelligence composed. She is in charge of the SMAC (Systèmes Multi-Agent Coopératifs or Cooperative Multi-Agent Systems) team. She is one leader of the strategic axis of the laboratory "ambient socio-technical systems" (www.irit.fr/SSTA). At the university level, she manages the neOCampus project which aims at designing a smart, innovative, sustainable campus at Toulouse III University.
Her main topics of interest are the design of complex systems with emergent functionality. Usually, classical design of computational systems requires some important initial knowledge: first, the exact purpose of the system, and second, every interaction with which the system may be confronted in the future. On the contrary, her researches are concerning theories and methods based on a multi-agent approach in which the global function emerges from the evolving reorganization between the agents. She works on adaptive multi-agent systems, self-organisation mechanisms, cooperation and in particular on methodologies to design this kind of systems and she applies these concepts to the ambient system design with a particular focus on context management. She has participated to works about the AMAS theory and the ADELFE methodology. She has applied the adaptive multi-agent systems approach in several national and European projects.
Since 2006, she co-chairs the organisation of the Technical Fora which is a meeting with all European working groups on Multi-Agent Systems. In the context of her scientific activities, she participates in several program committees and she was co-chair of several workshops such as: EUMAS’S 2009 “Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems and Simulation“, AOSE 2010 and AOSE 2009 “Agent-oriented Software Engineering”, EUMAS 2005 “European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems”, ESAW 2004 & 2005 “Engineering Societies in the Agents’ World” and co-chair of workshops organisation collocated with SASO 2008 (Self-Adaptive and Self-Organising Systems). She was co-chair of the program committee of SASO 2012. She also has written numerous papers in journals, conferences and workshops.
