Research Interests

Fatima Dargam’s research interests reside mainly in the development of intelligent, distributed and cooperative web-based decision support systems for various applications; bridging the areas of knowledge management and decision making. Other topics of her interest include: decision analysis; big data; data analytics for decision making; social networks relation to decision making; ontology; belief revision and updates; knowledge representation; theory and applications of inconsistent knowledge; non-monotonic reasoning; multi-agent systems; expert systems as well as multi-criteria decision making and dynamic systems.

In the area of Decision Support Systems, many different research projects were carried out over the years, including tutorial expert systems; cooperative DSS; Negotiation Systems and web-based tools for DSS. More recently, emphasis has been directed to projects concerning modeling and implementation of collaborative Decision Support Systems using up-to-date web technology.

Main Professional & Research Experience

Since 1996

Period: August 1996 – to date Position: Project Manager / Software Engineer (Research & Development) Institution: SimTech Simulation Technology Location: Graz, Austria

In 1996 officially joined the company SimTech Simulation Technology in Austria, where she had been cooperating in projects since June 1995. At SimTech, the work carried out concerns research and development of application software modules supporting computer-based simulations. SimTech is a company that provides state-of-the art tools and services for the analysis and optimization of energy systems. Based on several years of experience, it develops and markets software for design and performance analysis of energy systems and for optimizing plant operations.

Since 2007

Period: Jan. 2007 – to date Position: Coordination Board Member (Coordinator since 2010) Institution: EURO Association of European Operational Research Societies

EWG-DSS - EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems Location: (EURO – Brussels, Belgium)

In 2007 officially joined the Coordination Board (CB) of the EURO Working Group on Decision Support Systems (http://ewgdss.wordpress.com/), for which she is a founding member since 1989. Since 2010 she has assumed the Coordination position of the group, managing together with the CB its various research activities, publications’ editions and projects initiatives.

1990 – 1995

Period: From Sept. 1990 to May 1995 Position: Researcher (Ph.D. Candidate) Institution: Imperial College - Department of Computing Location: London, England

Researcher of the Logic and Automated Reasoning Section in the Department of Computing at Imperial College. The Ph.D. studies were undertaken with the supervision of Prof. Dov Gabbay. The Ph.D. thesis, entitled: On Reconciling Conflicting Updates: A Compromise Revision Approach (PhD Thesis Examination: 08/10/96), proposed a method for handling logically conflicting inputs into knowledge bases in a compromised way. The proposed approach caters for the specific case where compromised solutions for revising knowledge bases apply, when conflicts involving updates occur. The method revises finite bases which are subjected to some integrity constraints, and performs a reconciliation of the conflicting data, by allowing the consistent logical consequences of the given up database elements or inputs, to update the database as a compromise. In comparison with approaches that require preference among conflicting inputs, or that avoid them by canceling them out completely, the proposed approach fits as an alternative which provides more informative results.

During the time at Imperial College, participated also as an occasional research cooperator of the project MEDLAR “Mechanized Deduction in Logic and Automated Reasoning”, an ESPRIT European project on practical reasoning, which involved over 15 major European research groups of the area.

1988 – 1990

Period: From May. 1988 to Sep. 1990 Position: Researcher Institution: Instituto de Logica Filosofia e Teoria da Ciência ILTC-RJ Location: Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil

Fátima Dargam intensively cooperated in research with the Institute of Logics, Philosophy and Theory of Science in Rio. Related activities in ILTC included the research and development of multimedia systems for educational applications using artificial intelligence techniques, as well as investigation of knowledge based systems, knowledge representation, and neural networks. Participation in various national research projects, among others: RECOPE – IA “Intelligent Systems for Engineering Applications”, financed by FINEP involving 11 Brazilian research groups in the area of Artificial Intelligence; and CLoP – “High Efficiency Systems for Constraint Logic Programming”, financed by CNPq.

1983 – 1990

Period: From May. 1983 to Sep. 1990 Position: Engineer; Head of the Computer Graphics Division Institution: Brazilian Navy Research Institute - IPqM Location: Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil

Fátima Dargam worked as an engineer at IPqM, in charge of the Computer Graphics Division of the Informatics Group. Basically, the nature of the work carried out in the Computer Graphics Division concerned the use of CAE-CAD-CAM systems for electrical applications, mainly for the design and test of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB).

During this period, research and development of expert systems and decision support systems were also carried out by Fátima Dargam, for the defense application of electronic warfare. That research led to a Masters dissertation’s development, which concerned of an expert system applied to the specific field of electronic warfare for a naval environment. The thesis work (entitled “An Expert System applied to Electronic Warfare”, developed at IME-RJ, Instituto Militar de Engenharia in Rio de Janeiro and presented on March 1989) was directed to aid the process of decision-making concerning the electronic countermeasures to be adopted, aiming at deceiving or neutralizing a threat previously identified during a military conflict. This system was implemented using OPS5 (Official Production System - V.5).
