He is known as "The Founding Father" of He is a former President of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence). He works on constraint-based artificial intelligence with applications in vision, robotics, situated agents, assistive technology and sustainability. He is known as a pioneer in the areas of constraint satisfaction, robot soccer, hybrid systems and constraint-based agents.
He has authored over 100 papers and co-authored two books: Computational Intelligence: A Logical Approach (1998) and Artificial Intelligence: Foundations of Computational Agents (2010).
Alan Mackworth proposed and built the world"s first soccer-playing robots, which led to the development of robot soccer as the premier global platform for multi-agent robotic research through the International Foundation, where he has been honoured as "The Founding Father". Robot soccer as a challenge problem has great scientific significance.
lieutenant has now become a standard test environment for cross-testing research ideas: a forum for evolving theories of multi-agent systems Through regular international tournaments many research teams of students and professors compete and cooperate in the development, testing and evolution of new theories and new algorithms.
He served as the founding Director of the University of British Columbia Laboratory for Computational Intelligence.
He was President and Trustee of International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI) Incorporated. He is on the IJCAI Executive Committee. He has served on many editorial boards and program committees.
He was VP and President of the Canadian Society for Computational Studies of Intelligence (CSCSI).
He served as President of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence).
