*Space and Time Efficiency for Unanticipated Dynamic Adaptation*
*Application to Building Agents for Ubiquitous Computing*

*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.
