This project builds on several years of research by our team members in areas such as multi-agent teamwork, coordination, plan-recognition, agent modeling and machine learning (single-agent and distributed learning) in both software agents and robots. In the past, we have developed software agents and robots that populate large-scale, dynamic multi-agent environments, and have established a strong research track record. For example, we have built agent teams that populate environments ranging from large-scale, real-world battlefield simulation environments to robotic and simulation soccer.

The desired start date for the new position is around October 1, 1998, but that is negotiable.

QUALIFICATIONS

• PhD in Artificial Intelligence
• Strong programming skills
• Background in one or more of the following areas: intelligent agents, multi-agents, distributed AI, agent architectures, and machine learning.
