System-level diagnosis rarely makes use of explicitly modelled knowledge, such as knowledge graphs, about the various parts of the systems and processes that might be responsible for the downtime of complex cyber-physical systems. This is partially due to the
fact that this knowledge is not explicitly available in formal models but is hidden in the brains of the experts or written documentation, often vaguely specified. Both PostDoc and PhD will be employed on the same project, you will work on extracting knowledge
from documents and experts, how to represent this knowledge in the most suitable modelling language(s) and investigate how to apply reasoning (abductive, diagnostic, etc) to various diagnostic methods investigated in the Zorro project.<br class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">

We expect potential candidates to be enthusiastic related to challenges around representing knowledge using formal methods, such as Knowledge Graphs, with relevant previous experience (MSc in CS, Logic, AI or related fields and PhD in fields related to Semantic
Technologies, KR or Knowledge Elicitation, respectively).<br class="x_ContentPasted0 ContentPasted0">
