Agent Employment Opportunities

Texas Instruments' expanding capabilities in software is spearheaded by the corporate Software Research Lab. The Lab is expanding its research and development programs and is seeking recently degreed and experienced scientists to develop new technologies in the following areas: Preferred candidates will possess a Ph.D. or equivalent experience. Internet Technologies Our active programs include Java and beyond Internet computing, mobile computing - from silicon to Internet services, multimedia information navigation and retrieval, personal agents, as well as Web/TV integration, next generation Web protocols, Web and speech technology integration. Applications in this area are developed using Java, VRML, and HTML extensions for real-time multi-media. Positions include: Computer Scientist, Agent Technology. Responsible for designing and implementing experimental prototypes of autonomous, cooperative, adaptive, and mobile software agents. Agents will be predominantly Web-based. Computer Scientist, Web/Java Technology. Responsible for designing and implementing experimental prototypes of Web-aware or Web-centered business information solutions. Team Leader. Responsible for proposing research programs and leadership of a team of experienced scientists in the development of next generation Web-centered software technology. The candidate should have a Ph.D. in EE or CS with experience in managing R&D teams in a high paced environment. Experience. Results focused on the "Web/Internet Tidal Wave" - for example involving: design and implementation of innovative Internet-based solutions; agent architectures, communication protocols (e.g., KQML), and communication infrastructures; distributed systems ; Java, C++, C, Perl and Prolog; Unix, X-Windows, Windows NT. Model Based System Technologies Active research and development programs include methodologies, tools and technologies supporting for the design and implementation of distributed information solutions for real and virtual enterprises. A significant portion of this research supports TI Software division, the world's leading supplier of software development environments to Fortune 2000 companies. Positions include: Computer Scientist, Model-based Computing. Responsible for research into techniques and the necessary tool support for model-based design and implementation of distributed/nomadic systems. Target application domains include (a) cooperating business information systems, including reuse and legacy aspects, and (b) personal productivity an business systems with unpredictable changes in network connectivity. Computer Scientist, Coordination/Collaboration. Responsible for research into techniques and the necessary tool support for facilitating group work, both in local areas and over geographically wide areas. Investigations will span both active and passive systems for a variety of environments, and will focus on techniques for integrating the results into both existing systems and into evolving CASE methodologies and tools. Experience. Results focused on tomorrow's computing in organizations - for example involving: design and implementation of distributed systems and coordination systems; working knowledge of object-oriented and knowledge based techniques, working knowledge of inter-application communications protocols and object service architectures, CORBA, OLE-2, Java, C++, Smalltalk, Unix, X-Windows and Windows NT. -- Richard Wiggins MSGID: RHW Texas Instruments Internet: wiggins@csc.ti.com Software Research Laboratory Voice: (214)997-5835 Center III, 2nd Floor Fax: (214)997-5568 M/S 8373, PC Drop: PVP7
