[misc.jobs] Post-doc position in New Zealand in Expert systems

ian@calgary.UUCP (12/10/86)

The computer science department at Victoria University of Wellington has an
open post-doc position for someone to work in the general area of expert
systems.  The position is tenable for up to two years.

The department is currently working on a project to build an expert system for
management consulting in manufacturing companies.  The primary goals of the
project are to investigate the kinds of knowledge required for consultative
problem solving systems, especially strategic knowledge and qualitative
simulation, and to discover ways of integrating formal analysis techniques
with heuristic techniques.

We also have a project to build a teachable robot system that can combine
learning procedures from examples with the ability to reason about
those procedures to construct more complex procedures without a teacher.

In 1987, there will be three faculty members and a number of graduate
students involved in these projects.
