Ricerca operativa

The Istituto Dalle Molle di Studi sull'Intelligenza Artificiale  (IDSIA,  www.idsia.ch  ) invites applications for 1) One postdoc position for 3 years 2) One PhD student position (University of Lugano) for 3+1 years The positions are funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (Project Title: Approximation Algorithms for Machine Scheduling). We are looking for outstanding candidates for one postdoc position and  one PhD student position with excellent mathematical skills and with a  background in computer science or mathematics (preferably with a  specialization in one of the following topics: combinatorial  optimization, discrete mathematics, approximation algorithms and   computational complexity). The selected candidates, together with the current group working on  approximation algorithms at IDSIA, will try to attack some challenging  open problems in scheduling theory. Annual Postdoc salary: roughly 72,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year low taxes. Annual PhD salary: roughly 4

Segnalo l'uscita di questo libro: Reactive Search and Intelligent Optimization Series: Operations Research/Computer Science Interfaces Series , Vol. 45 Battiti, Roberto, Brunato, Mauro, Mascia, Franco ISBN: 978-0-387-09623-0 http://www.springer.com/978-0-387-09623-0 About this book Reactive Search integrates sub-symbolic machine learning techniques into search heuristics for solving complex optimization problems.  By automatically adjusting the working parameters, a reactive search self-tunes and adapts, effectively learning by doing until a solution is found.  Intelligent Optimization, a superset of Reactive Search, concerns online and off-line schemes based on the use of memory, adaptation, incremental development of models, experimental algorithms applied to optimization, intelligent tuning and design of heuristics. Reactive Search and Intelligent Optimization is an excellent introduction to the main principles of reactive search, as well as an attempt to develop some fresh intu
