We are looking for excellent candidates for the PhD project.

Title PhD project: Intelligent Trading Agents that Facilitate Decision
Making in Multi-Agent Marketplaces using Preference Modeling

PhD supervisors: Eric van Heck, Wolf Ketter

Abstract: Modern business networks and markets are highly dynamic and
exhibit a high degree of uncertainty. Under these conditions business
managers are routinely faced with complex strategic, tactical, and
operational decisions; decisions ranging from the macroscopic (i.e.
which markets should we enter and when?) to the microscopic (i.e. which
products should be packed on which pallet?). Also customers are faced
with multi attribute decisions, such as from whom can I book a travel
under certain constraints (money, time, quality, etc)? Within this
project we investigate how learning agents may be designed to support
humans in these decision making processes. We define learning agents as
software entities that carry out some set of operations on behalf of a
user or another program with some degree of independence or autonomy,
improve their performance from experience and in so doing employ some
knowledge or representation of the user's goals or needs.

The candidate must fit in the following profile:

MSc or MBA degree in Business Administration, or Management & Economics,
or Information Management, or Computer science & Economics; Excellent
study record; International orientation and the capacity to speak and
write in English; Affiliation with the IT industry, Commitment and drive
to execute PhD research.
