In General

I hold a Ph.D. in Engineering (1993, Computer Science and Operational Research) and a B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering (1989), both from the University of Patras, Greece. I was recently granted an ERCIM fellowship (December'96 - June'98), to be spent at the Artificial Intelligence and Design Group of INRIA-Sophia Antipolis (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) and Computer Science Department of EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Before joining INRIA, I held post-doctoral research positions at the Dept. of Electronic Engineering, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London (1993-94), and the Artificial Intelligence Research Division of the German National Research Center for Information Technology (GMD) (December'94 - December'96). While in the latter, I was involved in the ZENO (Computational Dialectics), and GeoMed (Geographical Mediation System) projects.

Research Interests

Collaborative and Computer-Mediated Decision Making, Argumentation and Negotiation Systems, Defeasible and Qualitative Reasoning, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Case-Based Reasoning in Argumentation, and applications of the above on the Web.

Personal stuff*

Go Greece


You have no right to the Marbles!

Far away from their native (and my mother) land, the Parthenon Marbles have been situated at the British (Smugglers, I would add) Museum for over 150 years. The Museum insolently claims that they hold them "in trust for the whole world" (sic!) and that the marbles are "legally obtained".

Give back the Elgin marbles, let them lie
unsullied, pure beneath the Attic sky ...
... let them hear again the sounds that float
around Athene's shrine on morning's breeze ...

Verses by Roger Casement; an Irish revolutionary who was hanged by the British during the First World War.
