in brief

I am a PhD student at the Computer Engineering Department of Boğaziçi University. I am studying under the supervision of Dr. Pınar Yolum in the areas of multiagent systems and service oriented arhitecture. I am also a member of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and Multi-Agent Systems Research Group. I am also working in the TUBITAK supported MANGO project.

research

My primary research areas are artificial intelligence, multiagent systems, service oriented architecture and semantic web. In my MS Thesis I worked on the service discovery and matchmaking problem in service oriented architecture and I developed two service matchmaking methods based on the internal processes models of services. Currently I am interested in formal methods and their applications to multiagent systems.
