As a tenured professor and Canada Research Chair in eSociety she founded the Adaptive Risk Management Laboratory and led several large scale projects targeting decentralization of the command and control backbone hindering the effectiveness of emergency response and security systems. Read more...
Professor Ulieru founded in 2001 the Canadian GAIN (Global Agents Integration Network) that joined the research efforts of 19 Universities and Research Institutes across the country working together with the industry to develop intelligent web services for collaborative virtual organizations. Several international consortia were involved, among which the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Consortium and the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (now an IEEE Computer Society association). Her main contribution as leader of this consortium was the Holonic Enterprise paradigm for modeling and analysis of targeted, response-oriented and short-living network-enabled hybrid organizational systems and the dynamics of their interdependent cascading effects under various conditions.

The broadness of her background and expertise enable Dr. Ulieru to tackle problems from original perspectives which require a high level of interdisciplinarity - such as her large scale international
collaborative projects aiming to make ICTs an integral component of policy making for social innovation generation for a healthier, safer,
more sustainable, and innovation-driven world Future of Medicine, Living Technologies
- book chapter here and Emulating the Mind, recently coined in a book.
Professor Ulieru obtained her PhD (1995) in computational intelligence applied to systems diagnostics under the illustrious supervision of Professor Rolf Isermann at Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. Her academic career started as Lecturer in Computer Science and Information Systems at Brunel University, London, UK. A postdoctoral fellowship (1997) with Prof. William Gruver in the Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics Group at Simon Fraser University brought her to Canada where she was awarded the Junior Nortel Chair at the University of Calgary in 1998. She founded in 2001 the Canadian GAIN (Global Agents Integration Network) that joined the research efforts of 19 Universities and Research Institutes across the Country working together with the industry to develop intelligent web services for collaborative virtual organizations. Several international consortia were involved, among which the Intelligent Manufacturing Systems Consortium and the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents (now an IEEE Computer Society association) . Her main contribution as leader of this consortium was the Holonic Enterprise paradigm for modeling and analysis of targeted, response-oriented and short-living network-enabled hybrid organizational systems and the dynamics of their interdependent cascading effects under various conditions. In 2002 she founded (under contract of international cooperation with Berkeley Initiative in Soft Computing) the Emergent Information Systems Laboratory at the University of Calgary which she led until 2005.
