I would be interested in participating. I work for Cincom and have for quite
a while. I am not in an advanced degree program now  I have a BSEE) gut I
have been seeking a program where I could get a masters or PhD in computer
science. Would this be such a program? I wonder if I could participate
remotely?

Subject: [ANN]VerySmallTalk PhD position @ Douai

Dear Smalltalkers,

Please find below the announcement of a Smalltalk related PhD position.
The PhD student that will participate to the VerySmallTalk project that aims
at building a Very Small smallTalk.
You'll find out more about VerySmallTalk at:

*Space and Time Efficiency for Unanticipated Dynamic Adaptation*
*Application to Building Agents for Ubiquitous Computing*
http://csl.ensm-douai.fr/VerySmallTalk/

*Summary*
The goal of this PhD is to participate to the design and development of
VerySmallTalk a software infrastructure dedicated to ubiquitous computing.
VerySmallTalk is aimed to be a solution to unanticipated dynamic adaptation
dealing with resource scarcity. Unanticipated and dynamic adaptation can be
dealt with using reflection and meta-level programming. However, because of
constraints on available resources, reflective operations should introduce
only a very little overhead (few memory and CPU cycles)

As an application, we will study the use of VerySmallTalk to build software
agents for multi-agent systems for ubiquitous computing. Such agents take
into account resource constraints in their decision making process.

*Administrative Information and Applications* The PhD is funded by a grant
of the École des Mines de Douai (about 1250 Euros per month) starting by
October 2005. The PhD student will be member of the Computer Science Lab at
Douai (France) and will be supervised by Dr. Noury Bouraqadi (GIP – Ecole
des Mines de Douai), Pr. 
Stéphane Ducasse (LISTIC, Université de Savoie), and Dr. Serge Stinckwich.

Potential candidates should send by email to bouraqadi at ensm-douai.fr the
following information and documents:
-CV
-Marks obtained at the Master's exams
-Rank and number of master students
-Summary of Master's thesis
-Coordinates of the Master's thesis supervisor and of any other
person(s) that may recommand the candidate
