The ICLL has long been recongized as a leader in the development of constraint-based scheduling techniques and frameworks, and the lab has been engaged in the development of innovative, AI-based solutions to complex planning and scheduling problems for many years. Current research spans a broad range of topics including: * visualization, analysis and manipulation of plans and schedules, * collaborative, mixed-initiative scheduling by user and system, * constraint modeling and reasoning techniques, * search techniques and heuristics for generation, iterative improvement and localized reactive repair of plans and schedules * delayed-commitment scheduling algorithms and construction of robust schedules, * interleaved planning and scheduling, * distributed, agent-based scheduling frameworks and methodologies, * (re)configurable scheduling system architectures Current projects are investigating these issues and developing experimental software systems in a number of application domains, including integrated airlift and tanker mission scheduling, air campaign planning, manufacturing production management and supply chain coordination. Research activities range from development of basic concepts/techniques to experimental system development to technology hardening and transition. The successful candidate must have a B.S. or M.S. Degree in Computer Science or a related field, demonstrated programming proficiency in Commonlisp, Java or C++, and familiarity with Unix, NT, and MacOS operating systems. Prior experience in the area of planning and scheduling systems is a big plus, as is experience in any of the following areas: object-oriented design and programming techniques, user interface design/development, large system development, and team-oriented research. Salary is comensurate with experience and competitive. Carnegie Mellon University is located in Pittsburgh, PA, a city of approximately 2 million with a high concentration of cultural and arts events, a vibrant and growing high technology industry, and quite reasonable cost of living. Carnegie Mellon University is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Interested applicants should send a resume to: Dr. Stephen F.
