Esteban Guerrero Rosero

My name is Esteban, I am an assistant professor at the School of Technology and Innovations, Computer Science, University of Vaasa (UWA), Finland.

My specific research field is formal methods of software agents in Artificial Intelligence, and some of my research interests are:

• Software agents: practical reasoning, multi-agents systems (MAS)
• Non-monotonic reasoning (NMR): formal argumentation theory, answer-set, logic programming
• Knowledge representation: ontologies and knowledge bases and graphs
• Hybrid architectures: Machine Learning (Reinforcement Learning, Neural Net.) + NMR

... and at the human side, I have experience using:

• Activity Theory (Leontiev/Vygotsky/Kaptelinin's activity and the Engeström's activity system)
• Planning theory of intention (Bratman)
• Joint Intention or We-Intention (Bratman, Tuomela)
