I am Ph.D. student in my final year working with Prof. Eric Yu on a new agent and goal-oriented modelling and analysis paradigm to be used during software design.
 
Our Research Group
We call ourselves the Agent and Systems Research Group at the Faculty of Information Studies. We are affiliated with the Knowledge Management Lab at the Department of Computer Science.
Broadly speaking, the group’s research focuses on identifying how groups of people make sure their strategic interests are met while collaborating with other groups of people. One focus is on describing how the first group communicates interests to the second group in a least prescriptive manner as possible. In that way, whenever a creative bunch of designers (belonging to the latter groups) come up with a creative solution, they can check whether and/or to what extend that solution in fact aids or hurts some strategic interest of the first group, and know with whom to re-negotiate conflicts of strategic interests during their solutions efforts. Most work is based on Eric's thesis work, which introduced the i* modeling framework.
