Almende Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowships - Rotterdam,
The Netherlands

Almende BV (www.almende.com) is a high-tech commercial research
company (SME) researching advanced hardware and software-agent
technology. Almende in particular investigates self-organized critical
agent-based network solutions to sustain and improve the coalition
formation and coordination of communication and collaboration across
evolving networks of humans and existing ICT infrastructures. The
methods studied and developed for building those solutions are based
on principles of synergetics, i.e., interaction, self-organization and
coorperation amongst human and/or artificial networks, and principles
of multi-scale physicsrenormalization, - and It applies and evaluates
those agent-based solutions in many classical and novel problem
domains ranging from software engineering; health- and home-care;
logistics; warehousing; road, air, energy and ICT network management;
data, information and knowledge managment; grid and cloud computing to
swarm robotics.
The technology and knowledge that Almende BV develops are further
commercialized in spin-off companies. Currently, Almende BV has four
daughter companies among which there are ASK Community Systems, DEAL
Services and Luna.nl. ASK Community Systems provides its customers
intelligent communication and collaboration systems connecting
different servicing groups of users depending on their needs. Deal
Services provides robust agent-based management solutions to e.g.,
logistic companies. Luna.nl is Rotterdam's largest Internet Service
Provider for the business customer. ASK Community Systems has offices
throughout Europe, US and China.

To advance science and technology Almende BV strongly fosters close
collaboration with universities, knowledge institutes, large
industrial R&D groups and other SMEs in the Netherlands, Europe and
