there is a vacancy for a 4 year PhD position at the Computer Science Department of the VU University Amsterdam, in a joint project between the Theoretical Computer Science Group (http://www.cs.vu.nl/~tcs), the Knowledge Representation and Reasoning Group (http://krr.cs.vu.nl/),
and the Web and Media Group (http://www.few.vu.nl/~guus/). Industrial partners are Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/) and Naturalis Museum in Leiden (http://www.naturalis.nl/).<br>
<br>
Aim of the project is to develop a framework for controlling Web access and evaluating in how far contributed distributed content can be trusted. See the paper http://journal.webscience.org/315/2/websci10_submission_81.pdf for a first step in this direction.
