Juan Pablo Soto Barrera

I hold a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). Previously, I received a MSc degree in Tecnologías Informáticas Avanzadas from the UCLM, and a bachelor degree in computer science from the Autonomous University of Baja California (UABC-Mexico).

My research interests include Knowledge Management, Multi-agent Systems and Software Engineering.
