-----------------------------------------

Project: Diagonstics and prognostics for complex systems. Xerox is faced
with a serious and continuing challenge to increase the efficiency of its
service and increase customer satisfaction. Understanding and predicting
fault patterns in printers in the field is essential to this effort. This
requires modeling and data mining of a plethora of data from a variety of
sources, few of which have been exploited. In this project, the summer
intern would spearhead an investigation into novel approaches to modeling
causally interconnected and dependent time series data from a complex
system. Distributed printing systems such as iGen3 are hard to model and
according to engineers get into "chaotic regions" that are hard to analyze.
The approach of using complex systems to analyze time series behavior of
these systems is expected to produce new insights into failures. Although
the immediate interest would be to exploit currently collected data, we
envision the benefits of this work to influence document workflow modeling
in the enterprise.

Requirements: Ph.D. student in computer science, systems engineering,
statistics or mathematics. Knowledge and experience in time series analysis,
data mining and databases.
