Sheila McIlraith
Department of Computer Science
University of Toronto
.
Sheila McIlraith joined the faculty of the
Department of Computer Science,
University of Toronto as an
Associate Professor in November, 2003. Prior to
joining U of T, she spent 7 years at
Stanford University where she was
a senior research scientist in the
Knowledge Systems Lab,
Computer Science Department.
She also spent 1 year as a postdoctoral fellow at
Xerox PARC.
Her research is in artificial intelligence, specifically knowledge
representation and automated reasoning (KRR). Her work focuses on developing principles
and systems that are self-describing, self-diagnosing, and self-reconfiguring. Her principal
areas of research include:
knowledge representation and reasoning for the Semantic Web, including automated composition of
Web Services
diagnostic problem solving (diagnosis, testing and repair) of
discrete and hybrid (discrete + continuous) dynamical systems
model-based programming of
next-generation web agents, and complex NASA space systems
detecting and exploiting structure in logical theories to improve the
efficiency of reasoning
reasoning about action and change
mathematical foundations of knowledge representation and reasoning
Recently, she has been
leading four exciting projects (Sorry these pages are in strong need up updating):
Planning and Agent programming with Qualitative User Preferences.
