PhD Position in Reasoning with Preferences at Cork
Description : A PhD position will be available from 1st January 2009 in a research project on AI methods for reasoning with preferences, at Cork Constraint Computation Centre (4C), University College Cork (UCC), Ireland. The project is funded by Science Foundation Ireland, and is led by Nic Wilson of 4C, with collaborators Derek Bridge and Barry O’Sullivan also of UCC, Helene Fargier and Jerome Lang of IRIT, Toulouse, and David Lesaint of British Telecom, Ipswich. It will involve developing approaches for reasoning with preferences (and uncertainty) in multi-variate problems, including formalisms for reasoning with comparative preferences and soft constraints formalisms. The project will consider various applications including recommender systems, telecommunications personalisation, and intelligent buildings. The candidate should have a good honours degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or a related subject, strong mathematical ability and competent programming skills. CORK CONSTRAINT COMPUTATION CENTRE (4C) The Cork Constraint Computation Centre at University College Cork in Ireland is one of the leading academic centres of constraint programming research in the world, and a major centre of research in Artificial Intelligence. The centre has about 50 staff members, including academics, research staff and students, from over a dozen countries and collaborates with researchers from many countries. It, therefore, has considerable experience absorbing non-Irish including non-EU researchers into its organisation. 4C is collaborating on research projects with a number of companies and has an Industry Associates Program (www.4c.ucc.ie/iap) with over 50 members. 4C is situated close to the centre of Cork City, and a short walk from the main University College Cork campus.

I have a BA degree in English, I have another BA degree in Management, and I have a master’s degree in curriculum, all from Addis Ababa University of Ethiopia. If I get full scholarship I want to study your offer.
I have completed M.Sc. in Information and Communication Engineering from Rajshahi University of Bangladesh. I would like to do phd in Abroad.
I like anything related to space since when i was young, so i decided that i will go for aerospace engineering. But no institution is offering it as a course in my country. When my dad heard about this, he tried to convince me to quit because he has no money to sponsor me as he is the bread winner of both the nuclear and extended family. He said he can’t cope with the huge financial task attributed to the course, because he will also cater for other members of the family as i am also aware of. So i have no option left than to look for sponsors. I have been searching but found none, i will be very glad if you can provide any that can cater for me and i promise to abide any law that follows such rear opportunity. Thanks, from V.
