MSc by research STUDENTSHIP

Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen invites applications for an
MSc by Research studentship. The successful candidate will work under the
supervision of Professor Katia Sycara and Dr Tim Norman. This research
project, entitled ³Proactive Agent Assistance for Military Missions², is
funded by the US Army Research Laboratory, and the student will work within
the International Technology Alliance (ITA) project teams based in the
University of Aberdeen and Carnegie Mellon University, spending time both in
Aberdeen and Pittsburgh during the period of the project. For more
