MOTOROLA

INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS FOR TELECOMMS

The Department of Computing at the University of the West of
England, Bristol, has been awarded an EPSRC PhD studentship as
a result of Teaching Company Scheme (TCS) successes.  This
studentship is offered alongside a current Teaching Company
programme of research underway with Motorola European Cellular
Infrastructure Division (Swindon).  Presently the project is
investigating agent-based systems for network management and
novel user-interface technologies and follows an object-oriented
design approach.  It is envisaged that applicants will want to
conduct research in related fields in intelligent (potentially
AI-based) telecommunications management.

Applicants should have achieved at least a 2:1 degree in a
Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence degree, should be
well motivated, have a strong interest in research and have the
following skills:
(a)  Fluency in C and C++
(b)  Experience with Object Oriented Design techniques (eg OMT)
(c)  Originality of thought, creativity and innovation
(d)  Knowledge of distributed systems and/or network management
(e)  Experience with computing in a telecommunications
     environment would be advantageous.
For an informal discussion of the project, please ring Dr Tim
Charity at Motorola (01793 566339) or Nigel Baker at UWE (0117
965 6261 x 3135).

The position is available immediately.  Motorola ECID will
supplement the studentship to the level of a good graduate salary
to attract the highest quality candidates.  Contact the address
or phone number below for further details and an application form
to be completed and returned no later than 16 October 1996:
