Paolo Besana 
I am currently working in the Unité INSERM U936, Université de Rennes, France, for the ASTEC project. While in Edinburgh, I worked as Research Fellow on the Safe and Sound project, one of the grand challenges within the Information-Driven Health Initiative funded by EPSRC. and for the OpenKnowledge project.
I hold a PhD in Informatics from the University of Edinburgh. The focus of my PhD, completed under the supervision of Dave Robertson and Michael Rovatsos, was verifying how the use of interaction models, or choreographies, in heterogeneous multi-agent systems can simplify the problem of dynamic ontology mapping.
My research interests concentrate on dynamic service composition and coordination in open distributed environments and on tackling the semantic heterogeneity issues encountered in such a task.
