Shlomo Zilberstein is Professor of Computer Science and Director of the ResourceBounded 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 Zilbersteins research focuses on the foundations and applications of resourcebounded 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 metareasoning, planning and scheduling, multiagent 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 EditorinChief of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, and Associate Editor of the Journal of Autonomous Systems and MultiAgent Systems and Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence. He has participated in the program committees of many AIrelated conferences, and was Program Committee Chair of the 2006 International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics AI&MATH. He was the CoChair of the 2004 International Conference on Automated Planning and Scheduling ICAPS and is currently the President Elect of ICAPS.
