Edward Szczerbicki

Biography

Professor E Szczerbicki has had very extensive experience in the area of intelligent systems development over an uninterrupted 35 year period, 15 years of which he spent in the top information science research centres in the USA, UK and Germany. In this area he contributed to the understanding of information and knowledge management in complex systems operating in changing environments characterised by informational uncertainties. He has published over 300 refereed papers which attracted more than 1400 citations over the last 20 years (ISI Web of Science; Google Scholar). His DSc degree (1993) and the Title of Professor (2006) were gained in the area of information science for his international published contributions. Since coming to Australia in 1994, he has been awarded over 20 different competitive grants, and has also coordinated 4 Large European Union (EU) grants in the area of intelligent systems development. Contribution to the Research Area of Intelligent Information and Knowledge Management. The research of Prof Szczerbicki contributes significantly to the area of smart information use in modelling and development of complex and intelligent systems. With his papers published in the beginning of the nineties in IEEE Transactions he developed autonomous systems based on information processing for the purposes of intelligent decision support. This was his unique contribution to the emerging cross-disciplinary research area of smart information use for which information has a value, is treated as the main resource, and is the basis for intelligent decision making. Since then, he has contributed to the field with over 200 refereed publications making an outstanding impact at the international level. In 1999 he was invited to serve as a Board Member of International Academic Advisory Council for Natural and Artificial Intelligence Systems Organization (NAISO), Canada. He was also invited to join Editorial Boards of Cybernetics and Systems, Cognitive Processing, International Journal of Knowledge-Based Intelligent Engineering Systems, and Management and Control. The contributions of Professor Szczerbicki have additionally been most recently acknowledged by (i) 20 invitations to deliver keynote addresses at international conferences (ii) invitation to act as a General Chair for International Symposium on Advances in Intelligent Industrial Systems, Australia 2000, Co-Chair for International Conference on Intelligent Information Technology for Environmental Engineering, Poland 2003, Track Chair for KES06, KES10, KES12 in the UK and (iii) invitation to guest edit over 20 volumes of CBS Special Issue on Intelligent Systems in the period of 2002-2016.
