Fachgebiet

My principal area of research is AI Planning. My interests in this area include:

  1. Engineering of AI Planning Systems (algorithm design, domain knowledge engineering, and developing advanced planning systems).
  2. Hierarchical Task Network (HTN) Planning (domain modelling, incorporating real-world features, efficiency, and adaptability to complex scenarios).
  3. Real-World AI Planning Applications (e.g., smart energy systems, autonomous vehicles).

In addition to my primary focus on AI Planning, I am intrigued by the potential and challenges within Service-Oriented Computing. My research interests in this area include:

  1. Automated Service Composition
  2. Automated Configuration of Distributed Cloud Applications
  3. Service-Oriented Design of Intelligent Systems
  4. Interconnection between Service-Oriented Computing and AI Planning

Ilche Georgievski is a researcher at the Service Computing Department of the Institute of Architecture of Application Systems, University of Stuttgart. He leads the research area on Planning, Learning, and Intelligent Systems. His research interests include AI planning, with an emphasis on HTN planning, understanding real-world planning domains, engineering AI planning systems, service-oriented computing, and smart energy systems.

Ilche Georgievski obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands in 2015. After his doctorate, he continued as a postdoctoral researcher at the same university until 2017. In addition to his academic pursuits, he also ventured into the corporate world, having served as the CTO at Sustainable Buildings between 2017 and 2018. In 2023, he was a visiting researcher at Carnegie Mellon University. Georgievski's background is international, having grown up in Bitola, Macedonia, and studied Computer and Information Science at the University of Maribor in Slovenia.

His work has been awarded the SummerSOC Best Paper Award in 2023 and the IEEE UEMCON Best Paper Award in the category of Intelligent Control in 2021.

MatchIT

We integrate cross-sectorial expertise on power distribution, control systems, building automation, computer science, and social and behavioral science to propose an interdisciplinary framework that uses innovative distributed control algorithms and an ICT platform coupled with intelligent automated techniques to improve demand-supply matching in a financially and psychologically way that is attractive and acceptable to end-users.

Since 2018, I have had the opportunity to supervise more than 70 student projects. This experience includes the supervision of one Ph.D. student, over 25 Master's theses, more than 20 Bachelor's theses, and over 25 various student projects.

In 2022, I was granted the authorisation to serve as an examiner for courses and theses (Prüfungsberechtigung). Since then, I have examined over 35 theses and student projects.

A list of supervised student projects can be found here.
