معرفی
Ricardo Azambuja Silveira is a Professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil, with a distinguished research career spanning over two decades in the fields of multi-agent systems, intelligent tutoring systems, and semantic web technologies for education. His work bridges artificial intelligence with educational technology, creating innovative frameworks for adaptive learning environments and intelligent educational agents.
Dr. Silveira's research interests focus on developing agent-based approaches to enhance educational experiences through technologies like BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) architectures, ontology-based systems, and multi-context reasoning. His work particularly emphasizes the integration of intelligent agents with learning management systems to create personalized educational experiences. His recent publications demonstrate a continued evolution from foundational multi-agent frameworks to sophisticated neural-symbolic integrations and context-aware educational technologies.
Throughout his career, he has published over 60 scholarly works, with consistent output from 2001 through 2024, demonstrating sustained research productivity. His publication trends show a clear trajectory from early work on JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) for distance education to current research on neural-symbolic integration in agent systems. The majority of his publications appear in prominent conferences like PAAMS, MICAI, and ICAART, reflecting his standing in the multi-agent systems community.
Dr. Silveira has mentored numerous researchers who have become his frequent collaborators, including Arnoldo Uber Junior, Rodrigo Rodrigues Pires de Mello, and Thiago Ângelo Gelaim. His research has been supported through various academic grants that enabled the development of frameworks like Sigon (a multi-context system framework) and iEnsemble (for committee machine learning).
He has been actively involved in the organization of academic events, particularly the Methodologies and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning (MIS4TEL) conference series, where he has served as both participant and organizer. His work contributes significantly to the theoretical foundations and practical implementations of intelligent educational technologies.
