The University of Luxembourg is looking within its Computer Science and Communications Research Unit for a:<\/p>\n

On the topic of reasoning and formal argumentation in the field of trust management<\/p>\n

The University of Luxembourg is the only university in Luxembourg, founded on 13 August 2003 amid much fanfare. Prior to that, there were several higher educational institutions such as the cour universitaire or the IST that offered one or two years of academic studies. Luxembourger students had to go abroad in order to complete their studies at a university (usually to Belgium, France, Germany, Austria, and the United Kingdom). The new university makes it possible for these students to complete their studies in their own country, as well as attract foreign academic interest to Luxembourg<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reasoning about trust is a process that often involves the application of rules of thumb, general guidelines or argument and counterargument. During recent years, the field of formal argumentation has produced a range of formalisms, as well as software implementations, to deal with issues such as nonmonotonic reasoning, decision making and agent communication. In this context, the University of Luxembourg is currently setting up a research project (Advanced Argumentation Techniques for Trust Management, AASTM) to apply the approach of formal argumentation to the issue of trust management.<\/p>\n
