Classes taught
Edmund Durfee is professor of information and professor of electrical engineering and computer science.
His Ph.D. research developed an approach for planning coordinated actions
and interactions in a network of distributed artificial intelligence
problem-solving systems, and is described in his book, Coordination of
Distributed Problem Solvers (Kluwer Academic Press).
His research interests are in distributed artificial intelligence, planning,
cooperative robotics, and real-time problem solving. A central application
of his work is to artificial agents in information economies such as digital
libraries, where the changing population of information collections and
services makes flexible teaming of agents a central concern. He also
develops automated tools to support human coordination and collaboration.
His teaching interests are in artificial intelligence, research methodology,
and fundamental issues in computation.
Durfee was a 1991 recipient of a Presidential Young Investigator award from
the National Science Foundation to support this work, and was an invited
speaker at the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence in 1992. He is
an associate editor for Autonomous Agents and MultiAgent Systems
Journal, and was the conference chair for the Fourth International
Conference on Multi-Agent Systems in July 2000. He is a fellow of the
American Association of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and of the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a member of ACM.
