Professor Kwang Mong Sim

Professor Benjamin Kwang Mong Sim, IET Fellow and former Associate Editor-in-Chief of Springer's Applied Intelligence Journal, conducts interdisciplinary research spanning the areas of game theory, fog computing, cloud computing, multiagent systems, and evolutionary computation. Placing great emphasis on validating economic efficiency and computational efficiency to demonstrate mathematical rigor, his research results culminated in the publication of articles in journals in two different fields: 1)  journals in the field of game theory and economics and 2)  journals in the field of computer science. Additionally, he previously published papers in the field of philosophical logic. The impact and efficacy of his research are evidenced by award-winning journal articles, most frequently cited papers, robust economic mechanism, mathematical solutions that are adopted by fog/cloud computing researchers, and award-winning proof-of-concept software prototypes. 

Professor Sim is a pioneer and a leading researcher in  agent-based Cloud computing and agent-based fog computing

Over the past three decades, he has also made a considerable amount of contributions to automated negotiation, including the publication of several best journal and conference papers.


In game theory, Professor Sim has contributed to mechanism design, bargaining theory, and cooperative game theory.

Moreover, he also made significant contributions to both the theory and (many) applications of agent-based techniques, including swarm Intelligence and biologically-inspired agentsagent-mediated e-Commerceagent-based information retrieval and search engine, and reasoning of multiagent systems.

Professional Activities and Services: Professor Sim held many notable and senior editorial appointments  - he was the Associate Editor-in-Chief of Springer's Applied Intelligence Journal and was an Associate Editor of four IEEE  Transactions/Journals. He served as an external tenure and promotion reviewer for a preeminent research university in USA and a referee for many national research grant councils, including the National Science Foundation, USA. He also served as a referee for Routledge Economics Book Series on Game Theory, Taylor & Francis, UK, and a PhD thesis examiner for universities in Canada and Australia.

Education: Professor Sim received the PhD and the MSc degrees in computer science from the University of Calgary, AB, Canada and the BSc (Hon) Summa Cum Laude degree in computer science from the University of Ottawa, ON, Canada.
