Open PostDoc Position
We have a one-year postdoc position available on the project " Evolutionary Approaches to Cost-aware Data-Intensive Software Application Multicloud Deployment (MCD)". We will investigate optimisation problems for multicloud deployment and develop novel EC algorithms for finding the best combination of resources. We expect the project results will significantly improve the performance of MCD methods and enhance multicloud resource allocation approaches for data-intensive software. We expect the candidate to have a very record of publications (with publications in top journals and conferences), rich experience in designing and implementing evolutionary computation methods, good knowledge of combinatorial optimsation, in particular resource allocation in the context of cloud computing, and proficient with programming languages, e.g., Python, Java. Supervisors: Associate Professor Hui Ma (https://homepages.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/Users/HMa/WebHome) and Dr. Aaron Chen at ECRG group at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand (call for Postdoc in Chinese). Please contact us via email: hui.ma@ecs.uvw.ac.nz or aaron.chen@ecs.vuw.ac.nz, should you have questions or be interested in the position.Research Projects:
- Application deployment in mulit-cloud
- Data-intensive service composition
- Workflow scheduling in cloud computing
- Energy-aware resource allocation in container-based cloud https://homepages.ecs.vuw.ac.nz/~yimei/ieee-tf-esco/
