Dr Amit Chopra
LecturerResearch Overview
My interests lie broadly in the software engineering of sociotechnical systems, social computing, and multiagent systems. Specific themes of interest include interaction protocols, commitments and other kinds of norms among actors, trust, and argumentation. My work is potentially a foundation for social computing and social informatics.
