The project is funded by NWO, the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research. The aim of this project is to address task coordination problems in multi-agent systems that arise if a complex task consisting of a set of interrelated subtasks has to be solved by a number of non- cooperative actors (self-interested agents or competitive companies). Typical examples are multi-modal transportation problems, where different transportation companies are involved in bringing goods and/ or passengers to their destinations, and patient health care systems, where a sequence of treatments has to be assigned to different parties. The research can be characterized as fundamental with a clear eye on the applications. The PhD student at TU-Delft will concentrate on Plan coordination methods for complex tasks. Plan coordination methods are required whenever a complex task has to be performed by several planning agents each taking responsibility for a subset of the total set of tasks. Since in a complex task, several dependencies exist between the subtasks, these dependencies are distributed among the agents, preventing them to plan autonomously. The idea of the research project is to come up with algorithms and heuristics to identify and to distribute suitable constraints that can to be added to the complex task such that autonomous planning is ensured. Keywords are distributed planning, coordination, self-interested systems. ++ Project ++ In the project two PhD’s (CWI-Amsterdam and TU-Delft) will cooperate on the problem how to interleave the plan coordination and task allocation process, in order to find less costly solutions to the problem, and they will apply these methods in a multi-modal transportation as well as a patient-health care case. ++ Requirements ++ Required education/skills: University Graduate. Candidates are expected to have a university degree (MSc) in computer science, artificial intelligence, economics, or similar discipline; good communication skills, in written as well as spoken English. He or she must be open-minded and capable of working independently and in a small team. Job type(s): Ph.D. students, research trainees, non- tenured lecturers, researchers (Scientific expertise: Computer Science) ++ Organization ++ Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) website: http://www.tudelft.nl ++ Conditions of employment ++ Maximum salary amount in Euro's a month: 2394. Employment basis: Temporary for specified period Duration of the contract: Period of 4 years Maximum hours per week: 38 Additional conditions of employment: According Collective Labour Agreement (CAO) Dutch Universities. ++ Additional Information ++ Additional information about the vacancy can be obtained from: Dr. Cees Witteveen, TU-Delft, Tel. +31 (0)15 278 2521 Email: C.Witteveen@tudelft.nl ++ Application ++ You can apply for this job before April 1, 2005 by sending your application to: Delft University of Technology Faculty EEMCS attn: Dr. C.
