Jiming Liu is a Professor and the Head of Computer Science Department at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), Hong Kong. He was a Professor and the Director of School of Computer Science at University of Windsor, Canada. Prof. Liu received a Bachelor of Science degree from East China Normal University, Shanghai, a Master of Arts degree from Concordia University, and a Master of Engineering and a Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, Montreal.  Before 1994, he held full-time R&D positions at Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM), Virtual Prototypes Inc. (VPI), and Knowledge Engineering Technology Inc. (KENTEK).

 

Prof. Liu is presently working on Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC), Web Intelligence (WI), Self-Organizing Systems, and Complex/Social Networks. His previous research has focused on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human-Machine Interaction, and Pattern Analysis. Prof. Liu has contributed to the scientific literature in those areas. His work on AOC and Nature-Inspired Computing (NIC) was highlighted in Science, October 2006, in Editors' Choice, and the work on Adaptive User Interface was referenced in Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century outlined by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering (NAE).  Prof. Liu was invited to give Keynote Talks at ICNC’08-FSKD’08, AWIC’07, RSEISP’07, RSKT 2006, AMT’06, and AWIC'05, and Invited Plenary Talks at KES’05, MMAS 2004, ISMIS’03, and IJCAI’03, among others.  He received the President's Award for Outstanding Performance in Scholarly Work at HKBU in 2007.

 

Prof. Liu has served academic and professional communities in various capacities, e.g., as an Editor-in-Chief of Web Intelligence and Agent Systems, an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (2005-2009), IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part B (2009-), and Computational Intelligence (2007-), an Editorial Board Member of four other international journals, a Co-Director of Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC), a Member of Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) Engineering Panel, and a Member of Hong Kong Young Scientist Award Selection Panel (Physical Sciences and Engineering Panel).
