Institut
"Jozef Stefan" is the leading Slovene research organisation covering a
broad spectrum of basic and applied research in natural sciences and technology.
The Institute is complementing the role of the universities and bridging the gap
between science and applications. At present the Institute, totalling around
700, has a research staff of nearly 400. About 200 of them are post-graduates
temporarily employed while obtaining their degrees, almost 200 have doctorates,
and 100 have permanent professorships or temporary teaching assignments at the
Universities. In view of activities and status, Jozef Stefan Institute plays the
role of national institute, complementing the role of the universities and
bridging the gap between science and applications. The activities include
research and education in the natural sciences, technology, and related fields
including: Experimental Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics, Chemistry, Nuclear
Chemistry, Ceramics, Biochemistry, Electronics, Informatics, Robotics,
Automation, Computer Science, Telecommunications, Nuclear Engineering,
Energetics, Environmental Protection and Ecology, and Applied Mathematics.
The
proposed project will be performed mainly in the Department for communications
and computer networks where the research work is focused on digital
telecommunication systems, computer networks, signal processing in medicine and
parallel computing with simulation, and at the Department of intelligent
systems, where the emphasis is on intelligent systems, man-machine communication
and intelligent agents.
Expertise
The
basic research activities in the Department of digital communications and
networks (http://www-e6.ijs.si/) with over 25 researchers concerns in one part
the design, simulation and testing of telecommunication systems, and in the
other part, the research of computer algorithms for parallel systems,
programming and testing tools, security services in communication networks and
development of distributed environments for computer supported cooperative work.
The main goal of the department activities is to strengthen the scientific and
technological base and to transfer the knowledge and new technologies to the
industry. The list of expertise offered on the area of communication and
parallel computing: development of advanced multilevel and variable rate
modulation schemes, and coding techniques in various radio channels, medium
access control algorithms for wireless ATM, resource management and traffic
modelling in cellular systems, biomedical signal measurement and analysis,
medical applications, parallel software with simulations.
The
Department of Intelligent Systems (http://ai.ijs.si/) with nearly 40 researchers
is one of the established European computer science research groups with a 20
year tradition in R&D in artificial intelligence, intelligent systems,
agents, multiagent systems, machine learning, hybrid computing, information
retrieval and extraction, natural language processing, cognitive sciences, and
various aspects of intelligent data-analysis such as data-mining, text-mining
and web-mining.

Prof.
Matjaz Gams
Matjaz Gams holds PhD in Computer Science. He is senior
researcher at the Jozef Stefan Institute and associate professor at the
University of Ljubljana. He is author of around 250 publications, among them a
book about weak intelligence. His research interests include intelligent
systems, intelligent agents, artificial intelligence, intelligent interfaces and
cognitive science. He holds several national positions, e.g. for introduction of
computers in Slovenia or for information society in Slovenia. He is/was
co-founder of several societies, e.g. Engineering Academy of Slovenia,
cognitive, AI society, ACM Slovenia. He participated in a number of national,
international, research and application projects, which resulted in a couple of
major innovative applications.
