Watson JOB OPPORTUNITY AT IBM RESEARCH: APPLICATION OF LEARNING/DATA MINING TO MANAGEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS The performance management group at IBM TJ Watson Research Center is looking for individuals with strong research qualifications in data mining and/or machine learning for a post doctoral position with a possibility for permanent employment. We are seeking someone to join our efforts to automate performance management of distributed systems. This encompasses detecting, diagnosing, and acting on availability and performance problems. We are exploring the application of learning/data mining techniques to several of these tasks, including: (a) identifying patterns that are leading indicators of failures; (b) discovering abstraction hierarchies that characterize problem causes; and (c) visualizing patterns to aid administrators in labeling problem situations. Candidates should have a PhD in Computer Science or a closely related discipline. Programming expertise and knowledge of machine learning, data mining or statistics are also required. Knowledge of computer networks and distributed systems is extremely helpful. Please apply through the IBM Research employment web site (http://domino.watson.ibm.com/hr/research/resumes.nsf/Employment/Job+Listin gs?OpenDocument) for the job listing entitled: "Performance Management - Research Staff Members - Programmers." For more information about our group and the projects in our group, please look at the attached HTML files. Thanks, Joseph L Hellerstein, Ph.D. IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center 30 Sawmill River Road, Rte 9A Hawthorne, New York (914) 784-7506
