Bio:
Dr Chris Simons is a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University
of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Chris is very interested in how people design, test and code
software and is currently researching into various ways that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help. Chris
is convinced that elegance has a crucial role to play in software design and development, and is
currently researching into interactive, evolutionary systems that exploit software symmetries. Chris
has published in books, and many journal and conferences papers. Prior to joining academia, Chris
consulted and developed systems across a variety of fields. When time allows, Chris enjoys scuba
diving and underwater photography (where his interest in symmetry originated).
