Carnegie Mellon - Research Programmer (Agents/Electronic Commerce)
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1996 17:14:07 -0800
From: Anandeep_Pannu@ISL1.RI.CMU.EDU
Research Programmer needed for a project involving development of
intelligent agents for information access and electronic commerce. The
project will involve working on integrating information sources with
different architectures, developing agents to access information
across architectures and negotiation protocols between agents. The
research content of the project will be significant but the project
also provides an opportunity to work with diverse architectures both
hardware (Apple, PC compatibles and UNIX workstations) and software
(UNIX, Perl, TCL/TK, Java). The task is challenging in that it
involves developing state of the art Intelligent Distributed Systems
in a real world environment while supporting research in knowledge
representation, scheduling, machine learning, case-based reasoning and
distributed systems.
Our group is working on projects such as WARREN - which involves
agents in the financial domain and PLEIADES - which involves
multi-agent coordination and learning. Research issues being
investigated span the full spectrum of agent research and include (but
are not limited to) multi-agent coordination, probabilistic planning,
using Bayesian learning in negotiation, agent architectures, machine
learning in information access, learning user preferences,
interleaving planning and execution and distributed agent
computation.
The work environment is supportive and informal. The task involves
interacting with faculty, graduate students and research programmers
in a high motivation and high technical competency environment.
Publishing of technical papers based on contributed ideas is
encouraged. Compensation will be based on experience and
qualifications.
The suitable candidates are expected to meet the following
requirements
REQUIRED -
Strong Perl or C or C++ skills.
Experience with CGI-bin programming
BS Degree in CS / related field.
Ability to get up to speed on new software
Ability to meet deadlines, work with in research environments
Some familiarity with AI techniques
DESIRED -
Experience with writing distributed (network) software
Experience with Java
Experience with CORBA
