postdoc positions in theoretical computer science, London (U.K.), Deadline: 14 Nov 2011 (tomorrow!)

Royal Holloway, University of London, Department of Computer Science.

Research Positions in Software Agents for Model Based Diagnosis

Applications are invited for two fully funded research posts to work on 
the COMMODITY12 project, an EU funded project aiming to design, build, and 
validate an intelligent system for the analysis of multi-parametric 
medical data about diabetes and cardio-vascular disease. The project will 
integrate state-of-the-art sensor networks, software interoperation, and 
artificial intelligence techniques in order to realize the concept of 
translational medicine by means of a Personal Health System. Work at Royal 
Holloway involves building an artificial intelligence layer to deploy 
logic-based agents applying diagnostic reasoning to the patient's 
condition related to diabetes and cardiovascular co-morbidities.

1. Research Assistant post (Please quote the reference: X1011/6694)
