About the researcher
Magnus Hjelmblom is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science but works in the Decision, Risk and Policy Analysis (DRP) group. His research interests mainly revolve around norm-regulation of agent systems, an area that lies in the borderland between BRP and computer science. In his thesis Norm-Regulation of Agent Systems: Instrumentalizing an algebraic approach to agent system norms, he has developed a general programming framework for handling normative systems. Another of Magnus Hjelmblom's areas of interest is computerised decision support systems.
Magnus teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in computer science, such as programming methodology, software engineering, algorithms and data structures, artificial intelligence and computer science logic.

Research area
Magnus Hjelmblom is involved in the two broad research programs, informally named 'Bentham' and 'Eudoxos', which characterise the research in decision, risk and policy analysis at the University of Gävle.
The Bentham program studies the formal representation of norms with the aim of constructing theories and models that can be applied in several areas, such as law, decision support and intelligent computer systems. Examples of application areas are the automation of decision-making in forest clearing and in real estate development. In my thesis work, I developed, among other things, a general programming framework for an architecture for norm-regulated multi-agent systems, based on an algebraic-logical representation of norms.
Another area of interest is computerized decision support systems. The long-term goal of the Eudoxos program is to develop a theoretically sound architecture for an analytical decision support system for value aggregation and multi-criteria analysis, based on, among other things, the representation of preferences as relations between value differences.
