Prof. Dr. Jaime Simão Sichman

Jaime Simão Sichman has obtained both his B.E. and M.E. degrees in Electrical Enginnering from the University of São Paulo. He was one of the first students to obtain an European label to his PhD degree in Computer Engineering, developed at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France, since part of his research was carried out at the Istituto di Psicologia del CNR, Rome, Italy. He has spent an abbreviated post-doctoral period at the University of Utrecht, at the Netherlands. His main research focus is multi-agent systems, more particularly in subjects like social reasoning, organizational reasoning, multi-agent-based simulation, reputation and trust, and interoperability in agent systems. He has advised/co-advised 20 MsC, 12 PhD, and several undergraduate students. He has published more than 160 papers in national and international conferences and journals. He is member of the editorial board of the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS), Mediterranean Journal of Artificial Intelligence (MJAI), Computación y Sistemas (CyS), the Knowledge Engineering Review (KER), the International Journal on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (IJAOSE), Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory (CMOT) and Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (JAAMAS). He has organized several national and international conferences and workshops; in particular he was the AAMAS 2007 Tutorial Chair, AAMAS 2009 Program Co-Chair, WCSS 2014 General Chair, AAMAS 2017 Local Organization Chair and AAMAS 2020 Workshop Chair. In Brazil, he was the SBIA/IBERAMIA 2000 General Chair, the SBIA/IBERAMIA 2006 Program Co-Chair and the WESAAC 2013 Local Chair. He is a member of the IFAAMAS Board. He was the coordinator of the Artificial Intelligence Special Interest Group (CEIA) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), and was also a member of the Society?s Council. Between 2010 and 2013, he was the Director of the Electronic Computing Center (CCE) of the University of São Paulo (USP). He was indicated as a member of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Distinguished Speaker Program in 2012. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS). He is a Full Professor of the Computer Engineering and Digital Systems Department (PCS) of the Escola Politécnica (EP) at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), and currently plays the roles of Head of Department and President of Escola Politécnica's Research Commiittee (CPq).

Jaime Simão Sichman obteve seus títulos de Bacharel e Mestre em Engenharia Elétrica pela Universidade de São Paulo. Foi um dos primeiros alunos a obter um Selo Europeu associado ao seu Doutorado em Engenharia de Computação, desenvolvido no Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), França, já que parte de seu trabalho de pesquisa foi realizado no Istituto di Psicologia del CNR, Roma, Itália. Realizou um breve período de Pós-Doutorado na University of Utrecht, Holanda. Seu principal interesse de pesquisa são os sistemas multiagentes, mais particularmente em temas como raciocínio social, organizacional, simulação baseada em agentes, reputação, confiança e interoperabilidade em sistemas baseados em agentes. Já orientou e co-orientou 20 alunos de Mestrado, 12 alunos de Doutorado e vários alunos de Iniciação Científica. Juntamente com diversos outros colegas, foi um dos criadores de duas sub-áreas de pesquisa em sistemas multi-agentes, denominadas respectivamente de Multi-Agent-Based Simulation (MABS) e de Coordination, Organization, Institutions and Norms in Agent Systems (COIN), que originaram uma série de workshops internacionais desde 1998. Publicou mais de 160 artigos em conferências e periódicos nacionais e internacionais. É membro do Comitê Editorial do Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS), Mediterranean Journal of Artificial Intelligence (MJAI), Computación y Sistemas (CyS), the Knowledge Engineering Review (KER), the International Journal on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (IJAOSE), Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory (CMOT) and Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (JAAMAS). Organizou vários workshops e conferências nacionais e internacionais; em particular, foi o Tutorial Chair do AAMAS 2007, um dos Program Co-Chairs do AAMAS 2009, o General Chair do WCSS 2014. o Local Organization Chair do AAMAS 2017 e o Workshop Chair do AAMAS 2020. No Brasil, foi o General Chair do SBIA/IBERAMIA 2000, um dos Program Co-Chairs do SBIA/IBERAMIA 2006 e o Local Chair do WESAAC 2013. É membro do IFAAMAS Board. Foi membro do Conselho Deliberativo da Sociedade Brasileira de Computação (SBC) entre 2005 e 2009, além de ter sido coordenador da Comissão Especial em Inteligência Artificiial (CEIA) entre 2000 e 2002. Ocupou, entre 2010 e 2013,, a direção do Centro de Computação Eletrônica (CCE) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Foi indicado como Distinguished Speaker pela Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) em 2012. É membro do Board of Directors da International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS). É Professor Titular do Departamento de Engenharia de Computação e Sistemas Digitais (PCS) da Escola Politécnica (EP) da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), ocupando atualmente os cargos de Chefe do Departamento e de Presidente da Comissão de Pesquisa (CPq) da Escola Politécnica.
