Two PhD Student Positions in the context of the EU project RACE.

Two PhD student positions in Computer Science. These positions are in the area of hybrid knowledge representaiton and reasoning, planning and execution monitoring.

About the positions. The main task of the students will be to perform world-class research on hybrid knowledge representation and reasoning, and hybrid planning and plan execution monitoring, for robotic systems. Hybrid in this context means that the robot is capable of inferring new information about its environment from a variety of information of different nature. For instance, the robot will consider flexible temporal requirements (e.g., serving food while it is warm, but not too soon after the previous course) together with causal requirements (e.g., serving a meal satisfies the goal of feeding the guests) and resource constraints (e.g., dishes from the previous course must be cleared as space must be made for the new course). Such requirements should be upheld both during planning and on-line execution monitoring.

Research Position (PhD or postdoc) on Scalable Mining of Uncertain Data Streams

Title: HiPerDNO Data Mining Research Associate
Grade: 7 (Salary in range £ 28,983 - 35,646pa)

This position is based at the Oxford e-Research Centre
(OeRC, http://www.oerc.ox.ac.uk)
and within the EC FP7 'High Performance Distributed Network Operation'
(HiPerDNO) project, which brings together researchers in electricity
distribution networks, electrical engineering, and computing science
from Brunel, IBM Haifa, and Oxford, as well as European energy
companies (EDF, Electricite de France, Union Fenosa, Indra, Gtd,
Korona, Elektro Gorenjska, and Iset).

Future electricity distribution networks with mass deployment of
network equipment sensors and instrumentation, millions of smart
meters, small-scale embedded generation, and responsive load will
generate vast amounts of data requiring near to real-time analysis. It
is the aim of this project to develop a new generation of distribution
network management systems that exploit novel near to real-time high
performance computing (HPC) solution. The approach of this project is
to employ cloud computing that will enable scalable data mining,
feature extraction, and near to real-time state estimation.
