Agent-Based Modelling (ABM) is a tool that faciliates the study of complex systems, which is being applied for the analysis and understanding of social phenomena and as support for decision making. Social system entities can be modelled as autonomous agents that interact in an environment. These models can be simulated in order to analyse emergent [...]
Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) is concerned with methods and tools for the development of multi-agent systems. This work is organized around the INGENIAS methodology and the ICARO framework. INGENIAS provides a modeling language for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). This has been the first MAS methodology in using model driven engineering, by defining a complete MAS meta-model, which [...]
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) pursues developing intelligent environments, where applications, sensors and actuators seamlessly and transparently integrate to provide a user-centered experience. One of the main difficulties in AmI is the integration of heterogeneous components at different levels of abstraction, both at developemnt and production. Our research is developing an agent-based architecture and developemnt tools for AmI [...]
Big and Open Data power data analytic applications with a massively parallel processing (MPP) analytics engine that stores and processes big data analytics together with data. Our research deals with breakthrough performance and scalability at competitive edge in the following areas: Enable new analytics: Big data analytics framework with pattern and graph analysis to define [...]
The Collaborative Economy, an umbrella covering from peer production (like Wikipedia) to crowdfunding (like Kickstarter) and the sharing economy (like Blablacar) is an emergent paradigm where communities of people collaborate mediated by an online platform, while harnessing the network effects of the Internet. We perform social research to study how these communities operate (their functioning, [...]
Integration of AI techniques for the development of real applications in different domains: Ambient Assisted Living Aeronautics Flexible manufacturing Energy Web services personalization Knowledge management Social neworks analysis and simulation Systems of Systems Most of the projects in this line are developed in cooperation with industrial partners.
