Amir Talaei-Khoei

Amir Talaei-Khoei joined Asia-Pacific ubiquitous Healthcare research Centre (APuHC) at University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia in 2008 where he is doing his PhD in Information Systems. Prior to that and after finishing his master degree, he experienced short-time research in different parts of Europe as well as working in software industry in Scandinavia.

Amir has gotten his MSc. in Software Engineering of Distributed Systems from Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. He did his master thesis at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland on a Microsoft-based tool called EasyWeb which was aimed to develop a software engineering environment for web applications in .Net. EasyWeb with a model driven approach conceptualizes web applications and automatically transforms high level models to executable low level codes. The thesis made Amir familiar with modeling and requirement engineering concepts as well as meta-level programming skills. Prof. Claude Petitpierre, from EPFL, supervised this thesis while A/Prof Vladimir Vlassov, from KTH, was the examiner.

He joined Systemic Modeling Lab at EPFL after improving his programming skills in mobile communication industry. There, he worked on "Systemic Conceptualization of Requirements in Coopetitive Environments" that was applied on SEAM tool, developed there. During that time, he was involved in research supervised by Prof. Alian Wegmann as well as teaching.

Amir is getting his PhD with A/Prof. Pradeep Ray at APuHC. In this research centre, as a part of Australian School of Business, he works closely with computer scientists, business experts and health professionals. His PhD on "A Policy-based Mobile Agent Framework for Cooperative Management; Mobile Health Monitoring Perspective" is co-supervised by Dr. Nandan Parameshwaran at School of Computer Science and Engineering, UNSW. In this thesis, he is bridging between Mobile Agents, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) while he tries to capture contextual awareness of mobile agents from policies. As a part of his PhD, he is also applying this theory in mobile health monitoring concept by developing a monitoring system for home-based rehabilitation of elderly with Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) games. Mobile monitoring of DDR-based rehabilitation games is a joint project between APuHC and Falls and Balance Research Group at Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute, Australia.
