PostDoc Data base for Natural Teggs

PostDoc Data base for Natural Teggs: Classification of fresh eggs The Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) is a multidisciplinary research institute of the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. CTIT coordinates the research activities in all the areas relevant to the development, the introduction and the usage of information technology systems. http://www.ctit.utwente.nl/ CTIT cooperates with a number of industrial partners in a 2 year research project aimed at developing a secure data base. Project Description Consumers are increasingly demanding about the quality of the food they buy, while producers are increasingly concerned about the cost of providing quality guarantees. The Natural Teggs project will design a tracking and tracing system for fresh eggs that follows the eggs from the farm to the supermarket. All partners in the production chain of fresh eggs are resented in the project as well as suppliers of hi-tech equipment for egg processing, egg printing, and physical, biological and chemical measurement of food products. Research The research challenges for the PostDoc are firstly to design the data base such that it is capable of storing the data on millions of eggs per day, and secondly to ensure that all parties in the production chain can access the data according to agreed security policies.
