Jiming Liu is Professor and Head of Computer Science Department at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), Hong Kong. He was tenured Professor and Director of School of Computer Science at University of Windsor, Canada, and is presently Adjunct Professor there and at University of Waterloo, Canada. Liu received the Bachelor’s degree in Physics from East China Normal University, Shanghai, PRC, the Master of Arts in Educational Technology from Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, and the Master of Engineering and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. He held full-time R&D positions at Computer Research Institute of Montreal (CRIM), Virtual Prototypes Inc. (VPI), and Knowledge Engineering Technology Inc. (KENTEK) (as well as Canadian Workplace Automation Research Centre (CWARC), Department of Communication, Government of Canada).

Liu’s current research interests include: Autonomy-Oriented Computing (AOC), Web Intelligence (WI), and Self-Organizing Systems and Networks. His previous research has focused on the theories and applications of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (AAMAS), Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Human-Machine Interaction, Pattern Analysis, etc.. Liu has contributed to the scientific literature in those areas. His recent research work on AOC and Nature-Inspired Computing (NIC) was highlighted in Science, October 2006, in Editors' Choice. He has been invited to give Keynote Talks at ICNC’08-FSKD’08, AWIC’07, RSEISP’07, RSKT 2006, AMT’06, and AWIC'05, and Invited Plenary Talks at KES’05, MMAS 2004, ISMIS’03, and IJCAI’03, among other international conferences or workshops. In 2007, Liu received the President's Award for Outstanding Performance in Scholarly Work at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU).

Liu has served academic and professional communities in various capacities, e.g., presently as Editor-in-Chief of Web Intelligence and Agent Systems, Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering and Computational Intelligence, Editorial Board Member of International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR), Journal of Intelligent Information Systems (JIIS), International Journal of Cognitive Informatics and Natural Intelligence (IJCINI), and International Journal of Software Science and Computational Intelligence (IJSSCI), Series Editor of Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Co-Director of Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC), Member of Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) Engineering Panel, and Member of Hong Kong Young Scientist Award Selection Panel (Physical Sciences and Engineering Panel).
