Innovative design is characterized by an intense, collaborative process of generating and exploring ideas meant to contribute to the solution of particular problems. Innovators go through cycles of divergence, in which new ideas are generated and explored, and convergence, in which new ideas are valued and detailed. The idSpace project will design and build a responsive web-based environment that will offer an integrated suite of knowledge eliciting and sharing tools, and create a collective, sharable memory to support the entire innovative design process.
A suitable candidate for the above position should have a degree in Computer Science or related field and post graduate studies related to one or more of the following areas : Context Awareness, Adaptive Systems, Ontologies, User Modeling, E-Learning, Collaborative Learning. Candidates should also have experience in conducting research, possess good programming skills, and be fluent in the use of the English language.
