Two vacancies exist within this highly rated Department to work on a
new EPSRC-funded research project entitled "Agent Technology for
Connection Admission Control in ATM networks". This project brings
together the work of the Department's internationally-recognised
research groups in Intelligent Agents and Telecommunications and will
provide the successful candidates the opportunity to work in a
challenging and vibrant research environment.
* The first post is for three years and the person appointed will
be responsible for the agent aspects of the work. It is expected
that the appointee will have a PhD in the area of Artificial
Intelligence and will have some experience of working with
intelligent agents or multi-agent systems.
The work will involve designing and implementing a number of
intelligent agents that can operate and interact in complex,
time-critical domains. In particular, the work will explore
the use of market-oriented techniques and reactive agents as
the guiding system design principle.
* The other post is for one year and covers the work on computer
simulation of ATM networks included within the project. This is
aimed at a someone who has recently graduated. The person
appointed to this post will have to travel to Switzerland to take
measurements there on a broadband testbed and it is essential
that such travel can be arranged without the need for a visa to
enter Switzerland.
For both posts a First-Class or Upper Second-Class Honours degree in
Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or a closely related subject
is essential. Another essential requirement is the ability to be able
to work in the UK without the need for a work permit.
The closing date for applications is 31st January 1997. Requests for
application forms can be emailed to Dr Nick Jennings.
