Experience: Five years experience in Artificial Intelligence related programming or a Master’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence or a related field. Skills: Experience in the following, or similar, subjects a plus: Software Patterns, Agent-Based Simulation, Software Optimization and Scalability, Open Source Contributions, Ontologies, Inference Engines, Evolutionary Computation, Neural Networks, Bayesian Networks, Fuzzy Expert Systems, Data Mining, Case-Based Reasoning, Game Trees and Game Theory, Social Network Analysis, Statistical Design of Experiments. Programming Language: Java Other Software and Development Tools: Experience in the following, or similar, software a plus - Protégé, Owl, Pellet, Jena, Jastor, Weka, Repast, Groovy, ECJ, Ptolemy, JFuzzyLogic, Joone, Jung, R, Jboss, Prefuse Job Description: Artificial Intelligence Software Developers needed for cutting-edge Computational Social Science simulation project. Will be working in a Team based environment with other SW developers. Potential Task areas include: i) Scientific Experimentation and Data Mining: Enhance existing software to support finding patterns in wargame events, for the purposes of testing hypotheses about relations between events and for discovering relationships between events. Incorporate open source data mining and artificial intelligence software, such as, for example, Weka and ECJ, to automatically find patterns in moves and outcomes ii) Interoperation of Hybrid Models: Support the interoperation of hybrid models, to ensure that models that have multiple resolutions and perspectives share meaning. Through xml, implement the translations between models. Integrate with integration tools that support semantic interoperation through ontologies, and other methodologies such as, for example, the COMPOEX backplane or Ptolemy. Help implement a Hub and Spoke design for translation between data models a system by which simulation models and data of different data models may interoperate through their own individual data models, a common data model, and a translation data model between their own individual data models and the common data model. Enhance the software enforcement of a data model “contract” using ontology-based software engineering techniques. Extend an existing example implemented in Jena and Jastor, converting it to a Dynamic Object Model (DOM) language (such as, for example, Groovy). iii) Support for Conflict Resolution between models. Support the conflict resolution of possibly conflicting hybrid models, for the purposes of making a unified, coherent picture of the social environment. Integrate open source software (such as, for example, JFuzzyLogic) to match the simulation output to correlative social study data, and establish the correlative relations that should exist between and within component social science models in support of validation and consensus building of possibly conflicting models. Implement a framework for consensus-building. Make possible the specification of arbitrary schemes for developing a model consensus. The framework would have a way to handle issues of integration, for example, the models may conflict by having mutually exclusive or uncorrelated behaviors. The framework would allow various consensus schemes to be switched in and out. Implement a simple prototype weighted voting scheme in the framework iv) Support for Component Models. Enhance the Nexus Intelligent Adaptive Agent Based Models to increase their generality, scalability, efficiency, and ability to work as component models for other software. -- Christopher Brooks (cxh at eecs berkeley edu) University of California CHESS Executive Director US Mail: 337 Cory Hall Programmer/Analyst CHESS/Ptolemy/Trust Berkeley, CA 94720-1774 ph: 510.643.9841 fax:510.642.2718 (Office: 545Q Cory) home: (F-Tu) 707.665.0131 (W-F) 510.655.5480 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list.
