Biography
Tina Balke is a Research Fellow working on the EU-funded project: Engineering the POlicy-making LIfe CYcle (e-POLICY).
Tina's background is in Business Administration where she focussed in particular on information systems management. As a visiting student at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath, UK, she conducted research in the field of normative systems, multiagent simulations and wireless mobile grids.
Her current research interests are centred around normative systems and the impact of norms and their enforcement on (especially real world) open systems. She is particularly interested in the modelling of these systems, the analysis of different norm compliance strategies, and the social and economic aspects of norm enforcement.
