Juan Pavón holds a PhD degree in Computer Science from Universidad Politécnica Madrid (1988). From 1987 to 1997 he was working in R&D departments of Alcatel in Spain, France and Belgium, and in Bellcore (USA), especially in the development of component-based architectures for distributed systems, and their application to multimedia services on broadband networks and mobile systems. Currently he is Full Professor at Universidad Complutense Madrid, where he leads the GRASIA research group. His main areas of interest focus on the application of multi-agent systems technology in distributed control, service personalization, knowledge management, ambient assisted living, Systems of Systems engineering, and complex systems simulation.
