معرفی
Luís Miguel Botelho is an Associate Professor at the Department of Information Science and Technology (ISTA), ISCTE – IUL (Instituto Universitário de Lisboa), where he actively contributes to teaching and research in Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Agents. He teaches courses in Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems Technology, using Prolog as the implementation language.
- PhD in Business Organization and Management, ISCTE-IUL (1997)
- Master’s in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Higher Technical Institute – UTL (1990)
- Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Higher Technical Institute – UTL (1983)
His research focuses on autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, context-aware computing, semantic web services, and affective interactions. He has led and participated in major projects including CASCOM, Agentcities, SAFIRA, and MODEST, contributing to architectures for service coordination, agent communication, and intelligent surveillance.
His recent publications (2021–2022) explore rhetoric modeling, automatic story generation, and enhancements to business tools, reflecting a trend toward cognitive modeling, narrative AI, and practical AI integration. Earlier works (2008–2013) emphasize service discovery, composition, and execution in agent-based systems, grounded in semantic technologies and distributed coordination.
He has held academic leadership roles, including Director of the PhD in Information Science and Technology and 3rd Year Coordinator for multiple undergraduate programs. His work is published in top AI venues such as AAMAS, IJCAI, and IEEE conferences.
Research Projects:
- CASCOM – Context-aware Service Coordination (FP6)
- KnowledgeAndCulture.org – Intelligent Team Selection (FCT)
- Agentcities – Worldwide Agent Network (FP5)
- SAFIRA – Affective Interactions (FP5)
- MODEST – Surveillance Video Analysis (FP4)
He advises students and leads research in agent-based systems, with a strong emphasis on open, dynamic, and semantically rich environments. He is affiliated with the Instituto de Telecomunicações and maintains active profiles on Scopus, ORCID, and Google Scholar.
