PhD Scholarship - Genetic Programming for Job Shop Scheduling, New Zealand
Job Shop Scheduling is important in the manufacturing industry. Dispatching rules are understandable to human operators and cope well with dynamic problems; thus considered an attractive approach. However, manual design of such rules is difficult. Due to flexible representation and global search ability, Genetic Programming (GP) can automatically evolve dispatching rules. However, current techniques do not provide satisfactory results for difficult instances. This project aims to investigate novel GP program representations, optimisation and search mechanisms to evolve reusable and competitive dispatching rules for job shops in static and dynamic uncertain environments.
Purpose of award
One scholarship, supported by The Royal Society of New Zealand's Marsden Fund, is available for a PhD student to work on a topic concerning genetic programming for job shop scheduling and evolutionary feature selection under the supervision of Prof Mengjie Zhang, in the School of Engineering and Computer Science, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
The PhD project will focus on developing new genetic programming and other evolutionary computation algorithms for job shop scheduling in one or more areas such as attribute/feature selection and construction, multi-objective optimisation, and order acceptance and scheduling on both static and dynamic problems under uncertainty environments. The student will be co-supervised by our collaborator, Prof Kay Chen Tan at the National University of Singapore and will work together with other people at the Evolutionary Computation Research Group. The objective is efficient delivery and customer satisfaction.
For more information on our research, please visit http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Groups/ECRG/ and http://ecs.victoria.ac.nz/Main/MengjieZhang.
Selection criteria
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates to undertake this PhD research project. The successful applicant would ideally have a first class Honours or Masters degree in computer science or operations research (with a GPA of 3.5/4.0 or above), including research experience and publications in evolutionary computation and scheduling. Experience in machine learning and strong programming skills in Java and C++ would be an advantage.
Number of awards offered
One scholarship is available.
Value
NZ$23,500-25,000 per annum for up tothree years
Tenure of award
The start date will be before 1 February 2014.
Closing dates for applications

PhD Scholarship - Software Engineering Project- VU New Zealand
A scholarship, supported by the Marsden Fund, is available for a PhD student to work in the School of Engineering and Computer Science at Victoria University of Wellington.
Purpose of award
This scholarship will cover tuition fees, provide a stipend for up to 3 years and supports a Marsden funded project in software engineering: Design Patterns and Ownership Types for Reusable Program Verification.
The project aims to make design patterns explicit in programs, and then use ownership types to support verification of those programs. By making patterns explicit in programs, software engineers will be able to write a pattern once, and then reuse it many times across many programs. Software engineers will be able to verify a pattern once, and then rely on that verification to verify programs containing that pattern. This fully-funded 3 year position forms part of a Marsden funded research programme based at Victoria University of Wellington (VUW), New Zealand. The student will form part of a small team led by Professor James Noble kjx@ecs.vuw.ac.nz. For further information about the project please contact Professor Noble.
Selection criteria
Applicants need a Bachelors or Masters' degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering; Excellent understanding of Object-Oriented Programming and Design; Extensive practical experience with Java or similar programming language; Solid research preparation in design patterns, type systems, program verification, or language implementation would be an advantage.
Number of awards offered
One
Value
$25,000 annual stipend plus tuition fees
Tenure of award
Up to three years.
