His main line of work is the application of Software Engineering methods and tools for the development of applications that make use of Artificial Intelligence techniques, based on the Multi-Agent Systems paradigm. The domain of applications is wide, including web services, knowledge management, social networks, simulation of complex systems, decision making, interactive art, e-learning, common-based peer production, ambient assisted living and smart cities.

Along the time the research is becoming more and more inter-disciplinary, specially with the incorporation in the group of experts in social research, communication, and health sciences. Current projects try to promote responsible research and innovation (RRI) principles, with emphasis on the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the processes, and focus on the development of social applications.
