Post-Doctorat Position in Multi-Agent negotiation
University of Valenciennes, France
Period: 1 year starting January 2008.
Key-Words: Multi-Agent System, Negotiation
Retailing is a very complex business and "getting the right product to the right store with the right quantity at the right time with the right price at the lowest cost of delivery is a very challenging task" (B. Vinod). These parameters result of negotiations between units such as the commercial department, the financial department, the production unit and the stocks management unit. Each of these entities aims to maximize its own profits, but a global constraint obliges them to maximize together the enterprise's profits.
These parameters have an influence on the demand forecasting, and depend also of them. A cycle? parameters evaluation - demand forecasting? will be made, the termination condition being the optimum profits of the enterprise and of its entities.
The researcher will work in and cooperate with a multidisciplinary team covering the mentioned subjects.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD thesis in Multi-Agent System, Computer Science or Engineering. A good background in negotiation principles will be favoured.
Applicants should send by email a detailed resume, a CV and and a link to homepage and publications if available to: Emmanuel ADAM, Email: emmanuel.adam@univ-valenciennes.fr
