Biography

Dr. Jeffrey M. Bradshaw is a Senior Research Scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) where he leads the research group developing the KAoS policy and domain services framework.

Though his earliest publications were focused on memory and language, Jeff’s research focus soon turned to a wide variety of topics relating human and machine intelligence. With Ken Ford, he edited the seminal volume Knowledge Acquisition as a Modeling Activity, and became well-known for his role in helping develop a suite of successful methodologies and tools for automated knowledge acquisition (ETS, Aquinas, Axotl, Canard, DDUCKS, eQuality).

While at Boeing, he also led groundbreaking industry-wide efforts in aviation safety and training technologies, founding the emerging technologies group of the Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee (AICC). He also provided technical leadership for a suite of projects to improve long-term follow-up care delivery for bone-marrow transplantation at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Jeff has helped pioneer the research area of multi-agent systems, and his first book on the topic, Software Agents, became a classic in the field and a best-seller for The MIT Press. At IHMC, he has further broadened his research interests and is currently involved in research on topics such as policy-based coordination of joint activity in humans and machines, Semantic Web technologies, adjustable autonomy and mixed-initiative interaction, cognitive systems, biologically-inspired security, visualization and performance support for complex analysis problems, network science, and augmented cognition.
