Jaime Simão Sichman has obtained both his B.E. and M.E. degrees in Electrical Enginnering from the University of São Paulo. He was one of the first students to obtain an European label to his PhD degree in Computer Engineering, developed at the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), France, since part of his research was carried out at the Istituto di Psicologia del CNR, Rome, Italy. He has spent an abbreviated post-doctoral period at the University of Utrecht, at the Netherlands. His main research focus is multi-agent systems, more particularly in subjects like social reasoning, organizational reasoning, multi-agent-based simulation, reputation and trust, and interoperability in agent systems. He has advised/co-advised 23 MsC, 15 PhD, and several undergraduate students. He has published more than 230 papers in national and international conferences and journals. He is member of the editorial board of the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS), the Knowledge Engineering Review (KER), the International Journal on Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (IJAOSE), Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory (CMOT) and Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (JAAMAS). He has organized several national and international conferences and workshops; in particular he was the AAMAS 2007 Tutorial Chair, AAMAS 2009 Program Co-Chair, WCSS 2014 General Chair, AAMAS 2017 Local Organization Chair, AAMAS 2020 Workshop Co-Chair and AAMAS 2024 General Co-Chair. In Brazil, he was the SBIA/IBERAMIA 2000 General Chair, the SBIA/IBERAMIA 2006 Program Co-Chair and the WESAAC 2013 Local Chair. He was the coordinator of the Artificial Intelligence Special Interest Group (CEIA) of the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC), and was also a member of its Council. Between 2010 and 2013, he was the Director of the Electronic Computing Center (CCE) of the University of São Paulo (USP). He was indicated as a member of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Distinguished Speaker Program in 2012. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems (IFAAMAS) from 2018 to 2024. He is a Full Professor of the Computer Engineering and Digital Systems Department (PCS) of the Escola Politécnica (EP) at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), where he played the roles of Head of Department (2020-2024) and President of Escola Politécnica's Research Committee (2020-2023).
