I am director of the Multiagent Systems Research Group at Hebrew University, which made its mark in early work on game theory and mechanism design as applied to multiagent negotiation and planning. That research explored issues of cooperation and competition among agents, and the use of economic theory, voting theory, and game theory to establish appropriate foundations for Multiagent Systems (MAS). Our more recent work has touched on a variety of additional MAS research areas, including multiagent learning, reputation systems, and dynamic control, though we remain active in the area of computational social choice and preference aggregation.

During the semester, our research group, Critical MAS, meets on Wednesdays to hear research updates and talks. Visit the Critical MAS web site to find out more (and send me email if you'd like to get our mailings).

I taught two courses during Fall semester, 2008/2009, Introduction to Computer Science (our freshman CS course), and Introduction to Computer Science with an Emphasis on Procedural Programming (an alternative version intended for students with less CS and programming background). In the Fall semester, 2009/2010, I taught Introduction to Artificial Intelligence. In Spring semester 2009/2010, I am teaching Introduction to Multiagent Systems (an introductory course in that field, based on Wooldridge's textbook), and an Advanced Seminar in Artificial Intelligence. I was named one of Hebrew University's outstanding teachers for 2008/2009 (based on student evaluations).

I am co-Editor-in-Chief (along with Peter Stone) of the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (JAAMAS), and an Associate Editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR). I am a Fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). From July 2004 through June 2007 I served as president of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS), formerly known as IFMAS, a non-profit organization whose purpose is to promote science and technology in the areas of artificial intelligence, autonomous agents, and multiagent systems. IFAAMAS sponsors the annual International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, which will be held May 2010, in Toronto, after past conferences in Bologna, Melbourne, New York, Utrecht, Hakodate, Honolulu, Estoril (Portugal), and Budapest. I am currently chairman of the Israeli Association for Artificial Intelligence. Between October 2003 and June 2007 I was Chairman of Studies for Computer Engineering, within the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Hebrew University; I had previously served as Chairman of Studies for Computer Science, from February 1999 to October 2000.
