Brief Bio

Professor Ghose holds PhD and MSc degrees in Computing Science from the University of Alberta, Canada (he also spent parts of his PhD candidature at the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and the University of Tokyo) and a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, India. While at the University of Alberta, he received the Jeffrey Sampson Memorial Award. His research has been funded by the Australian Research Council (Chief Investigator on 8 ARC Discovery and Linkage Projects), the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Japanese Institute for Advanced Information Technology (AITEC) and various Australian government agencies as well as companies such as Bluescope Steel, CSC and Pillar Administration. His research has been published in the top venues in service-oriented computing (SCC and ICSOC), software modelling (ER), software evolution (IWSSD, IWPSE) and AI (Artificial Intelligence Journal, AAAI, AAMAS and ECAI). He has been an invited speaker at the Schloss Dagstuhl Seminar Series in Germany and the Banff International Research Station in Canada. He has also been a keynote speaker at several conferences, and program/general chair of several others. He is a senior technical advisor to several companies in the areas of constraint programming and business process management, both in Australia and Canada. He serves as assessor (Ozreader) for the Australian Research Council and as an external reviewer for the research funding agencies of Canada, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland and South Africa. Professor Ghose is a Research Leader in the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Smart Services, Co-Director of the Centre for Oncology Informatics at the Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute, Co-Leader of the University of Wollongong Carbon-Centric Computing Initiative and Co-Convenor of the Australian Computer Society NSW SIG on Green ICT. He is Vice-President of CORE, Australia's apex body for computing academics. He is also President of the Service Science Society of Australia.

Research Interests


( See our latest research on Green BPM at www.greenprocess.org)
( The University of Wollongong Carbon-Centric Computing Initiative)
I work on services, software engineering and business process management on the one hand and AI on the other. My work in both areas are closely inter-linked. In both areas, my works spans the spectrum from the very formal to the very applied. Some of the work I do in services and software engineering crosses over into what might be properly described as management, involving issues such as business process management, strategy and strategic alignment. Some of this research could also be characterized as information systems research. Some of the research I do in AI crosses over into operations research, while some other portions intersect with philosophy and cognitive science. Currently, my work under the (very loosely defined and broad) "services" and "software engineering" banner includes the following problems:
  • Services engineering, including service optimization, service lifecycle management and compliance issues.
  • Requirements engineering
  • Model management systems: We're looking at how we might manage large collections of multi-perspective, multi-stakeholder models in a diversity of notations.
  • Agent-oriented conceptual modeling (particularly in the context of i* and TROPOS). Some of my recent work addresses question relating to how agent-oriented conceptual models co-evolve.
  • Business process management - in particular managing process lifecycles, regulatory and legislative compliance, business rules and related issues.
  • Rapid Model Discovery (our ER-2007 paper describes some of this)
My work in AI includes: My research on supply chain management and optimization brings many of these themes together. I've been involved in several projects with Bluescope Steel and other organizations - this is a link to one of these (an older one): Industry collaborative project with BHP-IT(CSC) (ARC SPIRT project). We have completed another ARC Linkage project with Bluescope Steel's Coated Products division, and are engaged in another ARC Linkage project with Bluescope Steel's Hot Strip Mill.
