Opportunità di lavoro

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 40,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) per year, low taxes.
Application deadline: Deadline 15 January, 2008.

More details are available and the application procedure is explained at http://www.idsia.ch/~monaldo/Open_Positions.html

Please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Monaldo Mastrolilli (monaldo@idsia.ch) with questions if you are interested in the position.

Digital Twin – Il caso Hyperloop

  Con il termine  hyperloop  si identificano una serie di tecnologie che promettono di rivoluzionare il trasporto di persone e cose. L’idea di base è molto semplice: far viaggiare all’interno di tubi, dove viene creato il vuoto, delle capsule ad alta velocità con binari a levitazione magnetica.   Credits: Virgin Hyperloop on instagram.com/p/CRHEB9ctQ6u/   Qualche tempo fa, mi è capitato di leggere un interessante articolo su come la progettazione della soluzione guidata dal gruppo Virgin, sia stata affiancata da analisi svolte mediante un sistema di ottimizzazione matematica. Come meglio descritto nel seguito, un digital twin, completamente basato su un modello matematico di ottimizzazione, permette di valutare le migliori scelte progettuali tenendo in considerazione i vari obiettivi di progetto.   La necessità di avere un digital twin nasce probabilmente dal fatto che le tecnologie  hyperloop  non hanno una base di partenza già esistente. No...

Amazon’s SCOT

Amazon’s SCOT The most amazing application of mathematical optimization in logistics What is SCOT? The state of the art in advanced mathematics at the service of the operations management. I like how some important companies implement this scientific development. — Julio Mora Olivares SCOT is an acronym meaning Supply Chain Optimization Technologies . Probably it is the largest and the most complete application of operational research in the field of logistic. In summer 2017, I discovered that Amazon was hiring operational researchers in Italy. This intrigued me enough to start some research on the Internet. I found a plentiful source of information on LinkedIn profiles, where people were sharing their working experience, their goals and successes. I’ve collected all the pieces of information and, with my experience, I was able to reconstruct a whole picture of this project. Human resources First things first: people The team working on SCOT project covers many countr...

Teoria dell'incertezza

Dal sito internet del Prof. Baoding Liu ho trovato due interessanti libri sulla teoria dell'incertezza. Uncertainty Theory Uncertainty theory is a branch of mathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, and countable subadditivity axioms. The goal of uncertainty theory is to study the behavior of uncertain phenomena such as fuzziness and randomness. The main topics include uncertainty theory, probability theory, credibility theory, and chance theory. This book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of uncertainty theory. The purpose is to equip the readers with an axiomatic approach to deal with uncertainty. Theory and Practice of Uncertain Programming Real-life decisions are usually made in the state of uncertainty (fuzziness and randomness). How do we model optimization problems in uncertain environments? How do we solve these models? In order to answer these questions, this book provides a self-contained, comprehensive and up-to-date ...
