Expert Engineer Position
INRIA-Sophia-Antipolis, ACACIA project

FUNCTION:
The ACACIA team is looking for an expert engineer in the framework of 
the IST European project CoMMA (Corporate Memory Management through Agents) 
to which the ACACIA team takes part.

The CoMMA project aims at developping support tools for building and
searching a corporate memory materialized in XML documents annotated by
metadata expressed in RDF format. This corporate memory will be accessed
via the corporate Intranet. Search in the memory will be guided by
corporate knowledge models : entreprise models, models of users members
of the company, document models... Such knowledge will enable to index
the corporate memory elements,  in order to ease their later retrieval
by the end-users.

The work planned concerns development of ontologies in RDF Schema and
development of a multi-agents system made of several agents cooperating
for information retrieval. Such agents will have inference mechanisms
exploiting ontologies as well as annotations expressed in RDF format.
These annotations will be translated into conceptual graphs thanks to
the CORESE platform of the ACACIA team, so as to exploit the reasoning 
capabilities on conceptual graphs. The multi-agents system will be
implemented in JAVA above the platform JADE dedicated to mutli-agent
systems and above the platform CORESE. It will be tested by the
industrial partners of the CoMMA project.

REQUIRED CAPABILITIES
- PhD in Computer Science or Diploma of Engineer in Computer Science
- Competence in one of the following fields: multi-agents systems, XML,
conceptual graphs, knowledge engineering, document engineering.
- Good capabilities of programming in JAVA are required.
- A good level in English is required, as the candidate will have to
take part in the meetings of the CoMMA consortium.
