CO-OP  OPPORTUNITY AT IBM RESEARCH: APPLICATION OF MACHINE 
LEARNING/DATA MINING TO MANAGEMENT OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS/NETWORKS

We are seeking someone to join our efforts in the area of automating 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 characterise problem causes; and (c) visualising patterns to aid administrators in labelling problem situations.

The qualified individual should have substantial experience with implementing machine learning/data mining algorithms and testing the algorithms on real-world data, especially system/network performance/management data. Candidates should have at least BS (MS is preferred) in Computer Science or a closely related discipline (e.g., EE, Math) . Knowledge of machine learning, data mining or statistics is desired. Knowledge of computer networks and distributed systems is helpful.

If interested, please send your resume to the following address.

Thanks,
