SCALABLE COORDINATION ARCHITECTURES FOR DEEPLY 
  DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS (SCADDS)
      PROGRAMMER POSITION

The University of Southern California - Information Sciences
Institute (ISI) has a job opening for a programmer on its SCADDS
(Scalable Coordination Architectures for Deeply Distributed
Systems) Project.

ISI, located in Marina del Rey, California, is part of the USC
School of Engineering and maintains close academic ties with the
Department of Computer Science. ISI is a leading research
laboratory with over 250 staff members of whom 95 have advanced
degrees, and over 80 graduate students pursuing advanced
degrees. ISI provides an exciting environment that encourages
publication and guarantees a wide dissemination of research
results.

and the SCADDS web site at:

The SCADDS project will explore and demonstrate scalable coordination
architectures for deeply distributed and dynamic systems.  Nodes in
these systems will be heterogeneous, having a range of sensing,
actuation and communication capabilities. In such systems,
data-centric and application-specific communication might be
preferable to traditional node identity based communication.  This
paradigm shift requires a different node coordination architecture. In
particular, we will focus on new communication and coordination
techniques, such as directed diffusion and localized algorithms, and the
system building blocks needed to support these.

The ideal candidate will have an MS in Computer Science and should be
familiar with networking and Internet protocols.  Familiarity with
Windows CE programming, with the design and implementation of
applications for embedded systems (PICs and microcontrollers), or the
design of custom hardware using off-the-shelf components are all
desirable skills.  The candidate will interact with other researchers
on the project in developing the system architecture, and will have
major responsibility for overseeing the development and deployment of
new system components.
