INVITATION TO PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Our NICTA group conducts exciting and world-leading research at the intersection of business-driven IT (information technology) [system] management (BDIM), autonomic computing, value-based software engineering (VBSE), IT governance, business process management (BPM), and service-oriented computing (SOC). We are looking for high-quality graduate and undergraduate students. In most cases, our students study at the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) of the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney and conduct research at NICTA labs in the Australian Technology Park in Sydney. Almost all of our Ph.D. students win prestigious scholarships that financially support them during their studies. For further information, prospective students should e-mail their academic curriculum vitae (CV), past publications in English (if any), and (official or unofficial) lists of marks from all past university-level courses to Dr. Vladimir Tosic with "Interested in PhD Studies at UNSW/NICTA" in the Subject line.
