BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Paulo Novais is an Associate Professor with Habilita-
tion of Computer Science at the Department of Infor-
matics, in the School of Engineering of the University
of Minho (Portugal) and a researcher at the ALGO-
RITMI Centre in which he is the coordinator of the
research group ISlab - Synthetic Intelligence, and the
coordinator of the research line in “Ambient intelli-
gence for well-being and Health Applications”.
He is the director of the PhD Program in Informat-
ics and co-founder and Deputy Director of the Master
in Law and Informatics at the University of Minho.
He started his career developing scientific research in
the field of Intelligent Systems/Artificial Intelligence
(AI), namely in Knowledge Representation and Rea-
soning, Machine Learning and Multi-Agent Systems.
His interest, in the last years, was absorbed by the
different, yet closely related, concepts of Ambient In-
telligence, Ambient Assisted Living, Intelligent Envi-
ronments, Behavioural Analysis, Conflict Resolution
and the incorporation of AI methods and techniques
in these fields.
His main research aim is to make systems a little
more smart, intelligent and also reliable.
He has led and participated in several research
projects sponsored by Portuguese and European pub-
lic and private Institutions and has supervised several
PhD and MSc students. He is the co-author of over
250 book chapters, journal papers, conference and
workshop papers and books.
He is the president of APPIA (the Portuguese As-
sociation for Artificial Intelligence) for 2016/2017,
Portuguese representative at the IFIP - TC 12 - Artifi-
cial Intelligence chair of the Working Group on Intel-
ligent Agent (WG12.3), and member of the executive
committee of the IBERAMIA (IberoAmerican Soci-
ety of Artificial Intelligence).
During the last years he has served as an ex-
pert/reviewer of several institutions such as EU Com-
mission and FCT (Portuguese agency that supports
science, technology and innovation).
