Full CV

Teaching

This academic year, 2011/12, I will be teaching the following modules. Course material is available on the Department's Moodle site in the term when each module is being taught.

• The Internet (6CCS3INS / 7CCSMINT), Autumn 2011
• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (4CCS1IAI), Spring 2012

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 80 papers in these areas. A selection of my recent journal articles are listed below.

• PrIMe: A Methodology for Developing Provenance-Aware Applications, in ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, 2010 (to appear).
• The Open Provenance Model Core Specification (v1.1), in Future Generation Computer Systems, 2010 (to appear).
• Mapping Attribution Metadata to the Open Provenance Model, in Future Generation Computer Systems, 2010 (to appear).
• 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.
• Agent-Oriented Data Curation in Bioinformatics, in International Transactions on Systems Science and Applications, 2006.

For a wider selection, please see my CV or my publications in the Department EPrints repository.
