Jiri Vokrinek is a senior researcher in the Agent Technology Center at Gerstner Laboratory, Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic. He has a university master degree in Technical Cybernetics and a PhD degree in Artificial Intelligence and Biocybernetics from Czech Technical University in Prague. His research interests are artificial intelligence, multi-agent systems, planning and replanning in multi-agent systems with focus to two fields: (i) manufacturing, virtual organizations, supply-chain management and logistics and (ii) autonomous vehicles coordination and cooperation, mission planning, and team coordination.

He was participating on projects in the fields of agent-based planning in manufacturing (IST Trial Project ExPlanTech, 2000-2002) and extra-enterprise production planning and virtual enterprises (IST Project ExtraPlanT, 2002-2004), advanced agent-based technologies for supporting virtual organizations (IST Integrated Projects ECOLEAD, 2004-2008, PANDA, 2005-2008, and CONTRACT, 2006-2009), and agent-based production processes simulations (Austrian government funded project CONCEERN, 2003-2005). He is also participating on U.S. Army sponsored research in the field of distributed planning and coordination (I-Globe, 2008) and agent-based coordination and planning for heterogeneous teams (AgentScout, 2009-2010 and Tactical AgentFly, 2009-2010).

Now, he is involved in research of agent-based technologies for supporting virtual organizations, negotiation protocols, distributed planning and coordination, and unmanned vehicles cooperation.

He was also in charge of co-organizing Agent Development Tutorials (held on EASSS 2004, BASYS 2004, CEEMAS 2005 and EASSS 2005).
