AlliedSignal Inc. is an advanced technology and manufacturing company with more than 70,000 employees worldwide. We specialize in aerospace products, friction materials and performance polymers. The system performs self-organization of randomly distributed sensors to different mission statements based on events happening in the environment. The system is composed of modules performing self-organization, target tracking, track fusion, ID fusion, and communications. The goal of the system is to identify all targets in the area of interest, and to turn appropriate sensors on, in such a fashion that predefined metrics are minimized.
Optimization is carried out by Genetic Algorithms.
The candidate will develop a method for translating the broad mission statement into the optimization goal based on events reported by the sensors. Strong Artificial Intelligence and Genetic Algorithms background required. Previous work with parallel genetic algorithms is a definite plus.
