BT Internships 2000
The Intelligent Systems Research (ISR) group at BT Labs (UK) is
currently seeking applications for a number of internship positions
for 6-month to one-year periods. The positions are suitable for
candidates who are undertaking a PhD in Multi-Agent Systems, Soft
Computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with an interest in
developing industrial applications. Successful candidates will be
required to identify new techniques based on agent, soft computing and
AI technology, and to develop novel applications in current and
emerging telecommunications areas such as the Internet, mobile
communications, etc. The positions are with the research teams at BT
Labs (UK) and are available immediately.
The ISR group is a part of BT Labs that carries out world-class AI
technology R&D programmes. The aims of the BT ISR group are to
research and develop novel intelligent software systems and
technologies in order to: i) radically improve the way BT operates and
employs its resources, and ii) technologically enable the provision
and management of future broadband networks and services. The group
is currently working closely with a number of UK and international
universities such as UC Berkeley, MIT and Imperial College on
collaborative R&D projects.
The technical bases of ISR's ambitious long term R&D programme are
focused on:
- Intelligent resource scheduling and planning:Dynamic Scheduler
project,

- Soft Computing (eg., Fuzzy Logic, Neural Nets, Probabilistic
Reasoning):
Intelligent Personal Assistant project,

BT ISR's world class research status is evidenced by its 4
International and National IT innovation awards, 9 BT technical
excellence awards, 30 patents granted/filed, and well over 100
external publications. The group has also been very active in
exploitation of AI technology and has been turning the results of its
innovative AI R&D programme into major business benefits for BT.
Based at Adastral Park (UK), BT Laboratories is an internationally
known research organisation which conducts short, medium and long term
R&D for BT ( http://www.bt.com ) in a diverse range of topics such as
network technologies and AI. A major function of research groups at BT
Labs is to set up collaborative projects with academic institutions
around the world to stimulate research in particular areas of interest
to BT and participate in state of the art research projects.
