Message-ID: <9ehiho$249$1@mulga.cs.mu.OZ.AU>
The Intelligent Coordination and Logistics Laboratory (ICLL) in the Robotics
Institute at Carnegie Mellon University seeks applicants for one or more open
research programming (Common Lisp) positions to support ongoing projects in
the area of planning and scheduling. The ICLL has long been recognized as a
leader in the development of constraint-based scheduling technologies, and
the lab has been engaged in the development of innovative, AI-based solutions
to complex planning and scheduling problems for many years. See our web site
http://virtual.cimds.ri.cmu.edu/index.html for more information.
Current research spans a broad range of topics including:
. Visualization, analysis and manipulation of plans and schedules
. Collaborative, mixed-initiative scheduling by user and system
. Constraint modeling and reasoning techniques
. Search techniques and heuristics for generation, iterative improvement
and localized reactive repair of plans and schedules
. Delayed-commitment scheduling algorithms and construction of robust
schedules
. Interleaved planning and scheduling
. Distributed, agent-based scheduling frameworks and methodologies
. (Re)configurable scheduling system architectures
Current projects are investigating these issues and developing experimental
software systems in a number of application domains, including integrated
airlift and tanker mission scheduling, air campaign planning, manufacturing
production management and supply chain coordination. Research activities
range from development of basic concepts/techniques to experimental system
development to technology hardening and transition. Commercialization of
some of the lab's more mature technologies is also being actively pursued
and, for interested individuals, there are opportunities to become involved
with these efforts as well.
The successful candidate must have a B.S. or M.S. Degree in Computer Science
or a related field, demonstrated programming proficiency in Common Lisp/CLOS,
Java and/or C++, and familiarity with Unix, NT, and MacOS operating systems.
Prior experience in the area of planning and scheduling systems is a big
plus, as is experience in any of the following areas: object-oriented design
and programming techniques, user interface design/development, large system
development, and team-oriented research. Salary is commensurate with
experience and competitive.
Carnegie Mellon University is a world class center for computer related
research. It is located in Pittsburgh, PA, a city of approximately 2 million
with a high concentration of cultural and arts events, a vibrant and growing
high technology industry, and quite reasonable cost of living. Carnegie
Mellon University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
