Amir reza Razavi is a research associate in University of Surrey. He has a BSc in Software Engineering (SIU 1996-Iran, Grade 1st), two MScs, one in Software Engineering (Iran University Of Science and Technology 1999-Iran Distinction) and one in Internet Computing (University of Surrey 2003-UK Distinction) and also he has his PhD in distributed transaction modelling for Digital Ecosystems (University of Surrey 2009-UK). He has more than 7 years experience working with Digital Ecosystems and Software Agents (Argumentation Theory) in three European projects and a KTA project. Along with that, he has three years of teaching experience (1998-2001 lecturer in Shiraz Azad University & Sepidan Azad University). Meanwhile he has tried to build acceptable tracks of publications in the relevant areas. He has been a member of the Technical Program Committee for several conferences and organised tracks and workshops for respectable conferences. He is currently working as a Research associate at the University of Surrey, where he leads the Virtual University project (KTA project). Prior to that, he was a work package leader (WP3) and did research in the areas of analysis, design and optimisation of the business transaction and P2P network for OPAALS’ Digital Ecosystems (EU FP6-NoE). Aforementioned to this he was involved in designing a distributed Transaction model for the Digital Business Ecosystem project (EU FP6-IST). He has also done research work in other areas such as Business Transaction Modelling, Distributed Computing, non-conventional (&conventional) Database Management Systems, argumentation theory, Software Engineering & design and analysis algorithms. As a work package leader in OPAALS, he has worked closely with two separate teams of programmers in Brazil and Spain (http://kenai.com/projects/flypeer andhttp://www.sironta.com/). In recent years, his main interest has been long-running transactions in non-conventional environments. Much of his research has been directed towards analysis and design of the distributed transactional system and the network infrastructure support for Small and Medium Enterprises and Educational Systems. He has contributed in three EU projects; ASPIC, DBE and OPAALS.
