Good Morning All, there is an open Post Doctoral position on the MOSES Team.  I have \
identified two areas of research for this position and applicants must specify which \
research topic they wish to concentrate on.  The Post Doc funding and HR will be \
handled by  Oak Ridge Nat'l Labs, but the work will be performed onsite in Orlando, \
Fl.  This is a paid position, relocation assistance may be approved, and insurance \
benefits are provided.  The position also includes travel responsibilities.

Both areas of research are related to technology advanced needed to support \
distributed simulation based training applications.  Specifically with automated load \
balancing and independently running collaborative clusters.

Topic 1 deals with an investigation of the creation of a physics cluster that can \
automatically detect and reallocate computing resources based on demand.  This \
cluster is envisioned to be a pooled resource, rather than coupled with a specific \
simulator instance.

Topic 2 is a more generic and involved total simulation load balancing.  Currently \
the simulators require scenario examination and resource planning before deployment.  \
Also many system including Open Simulator have static terrain limits.  I'm looking \
for automation of the allocation of resources based on user behaviors.

In practical terms, imagine having a distributed scene graph that can automatically \
reconfigure itself by adding or reallocating computing resources based on user \
behaviors.  We'll also need a good name for this new system.  Skynet has a nice ring \
to it....

If you'd like a better idea of what we do in the Orlando Research Park, a consortium \
of Military/Industry/Academic partners called "Team Orlando" has produced a short 6 \
minute video on our activities.  This video may be useful to you in the future.
