University of Twente Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS)
PhD student (Value-IT)
Enschede, 7500 AE (Overijssel) , 38 hours per week
University of Twente
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.
