[edit] Professional Background
Though his earliest publications were focused on memory and language, Bradshaw’s research focus soon turned to a wide variety of topics relating human and machine intelligence. With Ken Ford, he edited the seminal volume Knowledge Acquisition as a Modeling Activity,[2] and became well known for his role at The Boeing Company in working with John Boose and others to develop a suite of successful methodologies and tools for automated knowledge acquisition (ETS, Aquinas, Axotl, Canard, DDUCKS, eQuality).
While at Boeing, he also led industry-wide efforts in aviation safety and training technologies, founding the emerging technologies group of the Aviation Industry Computer-Based Training Committee (AICC).[3] He also provided technical leadership for projects to improve long-term follow-up care delivery for bone-marrow transplantation at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Bradshaw has helped pioneer the research areas of software agent technology and multi-agent systems, and his first book on the topic, Software Agents,[4] became a classic in the field and a best-seller for The MIT Press. Subsequent professional writings have explored a wide range of topics in human and machine intelligence and their interaction. He has held many leadership and service responsibilities in the international scientific community, and currently serves as a member of the Board on Global Science and Technology for the National Research Council.[5]
