Shlomo Zilberstein is Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Resource-Bounded Reasoning Lab at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He received a B.A. in Computer Science summa cum laude from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley. Professor Zilberstein's research focuses on the foundations and applications of resource-bounded reasoning techniques, which allow complex systems to make decisions while coping with uncertainty, missing information, and limited computational resources. His research interests include approximate reasoning, decision theory, design of autonomous agents, heuristic search, information gathering, principles of meta-reasoning, planning and scheduling, multi-agent systems, reinforcement learning, and reasoning under uncertainty. He has published over 120 refereed papers on these topics. Professor Zilberstein is a recipient of National Science Foundation RIA (1994), CAREER (1996), and ITR (2002) awards, Best Paper Awards from ECAI (1998), AAMAS (2003), and IAT (2005), and the Lady Davis Visiting Associate Professorship at the Technion (2000). He serves as associate editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Journal of Autonomous Systems and Multi-Agent Systems, and Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. He has participated in the program committees of numerous AI-related conferences, and served as the program committee chair of the 2006 International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics (AI&MATH). He was the co-chair of the 2004 International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling (ICAPS) and is a member of the ICAPS Executive Council.
