Tim Norman

Tim Norman is Professor and the Head of Computing Science (Research) in the Department of Computing Science, University of Aberdeen. He is leader of the Aberdeen Intelligent Software Agents Research Theme.

Prof Norman's principal research field is multi-agent systems. He has interests in computational models of norms (or policies) for specifying and reasoning about the ideal behaviour of complex distributed systems. He is interested in how systems may be monitored for compliance with norms, and how these techniques can be applied to support for human decision making (e.g. in collaborative planning teams). A further focus of research interest is in computational models of argumentation, and, in particular, formal models of delegation, and social and dialogical commitment.

Prof Norman is Area Chair and member of the Senior Programme Committee of the International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems and member of the Programme Committee of the International Conference on Computational Models of Argument.
