Job description
In the Value-IT project we will work with the music industry and the energy business to develop two prototypes for dynamic alignment of value models and coordination models in these businesses. Our goal in both domains is design and validate advanced techniques for the adaptive and hierarchical bundling of commercial IT services that match consumer needs. In this project, IT service is a commercial service that can be ordered and provisioned on-line, by which the provider earns money. We envisage a scenario where a consumer need is analyzed on-line, leading to the dynamic creation of a value constellation of independent businesses which jointly offer a service bundle that satisfies the consumer need. The bundle is composed from web services offered by the businesses in the value constellation. Subsequent occurrences of the same need will be provided by the same value constellation, unless quality of service drops below the level required by the consumer. Quality of service will therefore be continuously monitored and the constellation can be dynamically reconfigured, if required.
PhD student (Value-IT)
The project is performed jointly with the Free University of Amsterdam and the University of Tilburg where value-based techniques for service definition are studied. See http://www.e3value.com/projects/ourprojects/value-it/ for the complete project description.
•In the Information Systems Group of the University of Twente we have an opening for one Ph.D. student. The Ph.D. student will investigate how a coordination process can be automatically configured to match a value model and quality of service requirements, and how this can be deployed on a service-oriented business platform.
Requirements
Required education/skills:University Graduate
We ask: A MSc degree in business informatics, software engineering, computer science or equivalent degree. Good communication skills, in writing as well as oral. Your main task will be to do research, but you will be given the opportunity to acquire some teaching experience.
Job type: Research / Advising
Workfield(s):
- Research trainees, non-tenured lecturers, researchers(Scientific discipline: Engineering)
Organization
University of Twente
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
Sharing knowledge, working together, research, innovation. It is all part of the only campus university in the Netherlands: the University of Twente (UT). A university with an international character. We have for example many foreign doctoral students, and master programmes are provided in English. Divided over 5 faculties, we provide more than 50 Bachelor and Master programmes, varying from Applied Physics and Public Administration to Applied Communication Science and Biomedical Technology. In beautiful green surroundings, more than 8000 students and 2700 staff live, work and recreate at the UT. It is also a place where talented people get every opportunity to perform cutting edge research. But as an entrepreneurial university this is not all we do. In ‘Kennispark’, for example, we work together with the business community, we support our students in setting up their own businesses and participate in many projects in the area of knowledge development. In brief, a dynamic climate in which to work and study.
The Computer Science department of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) is one of the largest academic institutions in computer science in the Netherlands, with 220 faculty members and 1200 students. It provides courses in Technical Computer Science, Business Information Technology, and Telematics.
