PhD Position: Programming, Modelling and Verification of Concurrent Software
The Software Technologies Research Group at the University of Bamberg, located in a world-heritage city in Northern Bavaria in Germany, conducts research in the foundations and practice of software specification, verification and analysis. The group currently has one full-time PhD position (E13 TV-L, German public sector pay scale) available in the context of a new research project that will develop novel formalisms and techniques for concurrent software systems.
About the topic
Todays ubiquitous multicore computing platforms have changed the landscape of programming languages and their APIs. These focus increasingly on shielding the software engineer from low-level details of threads, concurrency and parallelism via clever abstractions of the underlying platform. Such abstractions are implemented in programming languages and libraries such as Grand Central Dispatch, node.js, OpenMP, Erlang and Go. As concurrent computation platforms arise everywhere, even in safety critical systems, writing software that is correct and safe becomes the engineer's primary concern. However, proving concurrent systems to be a priori correct and safe requires additional research in the theory and practice of programming languages, compilers, verification techniques, and analysis tools. We are looking for a researcher to strengthen our team in one or several of these areas.
Your background and experience
A strong background in Computer Science is required, such as evidenced by an upper class Masters degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline. We target two not necessarily disjoint types of candidates: First, practitioners with a good knowledge of and experience with modern programming languages (e.g., C++/C#, Java, OCaml) and state-of-the-art concurrent and asynchronous languages and APIs (e.g., Grand Central Dispatch, node.js, OpenMP, Erlang, Go); second, theoreticians with basic knowledge in formal methods and theoretical computer science (e.g., formal semantics, automata theory, graph transformation systems, model checking, and/or compiler construction).
Applicants are expected to be fluent in spoken and written English, some knowledge of German is desirable to support the group's teaching in software engineering and programming languages (up to 5 contact hours per semester week).
Further information and how to apply
Please send your informative CV, copies of transcripts and awarded degrees, and a cover letter outlining your research interests to info(at)swt-bamberg.de. You can address any questions to Prof. Gerald Lüttgen or Dr. Alexander Heußner by using the same email address, and find out additional information about Bamberg's Software Technologies Research Group on its website located at www.uni-bamberg.de/en/swt/.
Liebe D-CONler,
wie in Drübeck besprochen, wird der

SAS 2014
Static Analysis Symposium 2014
Call for Papers
http://cs.uni-muenster.de/sev/sas14/
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Objective
---------
Static Analysis is increasingly recognized as a fundamental tool for
program verification, bug detection, compiler optimization, program
understanding, and software maintenance. The series of Static Analysis
Symposia has served as the primary venue for the presentation of
theoretical, practical, and application advances in the area. The 21th
International Static Analysis Symposium, SAS 2014, will be held in
Munich, Germany. Previous symposia were held in Seattle, Deauville,
Venice, Perpignan, Los Angeles, Valencia, Kongens Lyngby, Seoul,
London, Verona, San Diego, Madrid, Paris, Santa Barbara, Pisa, Aachen,
Glasgow, and Namur.
Topics
------
The technical program for SAS 2014 will consist of invited lectures
and presentations of refereed papers. Contributions are welcomed on
all aspects of static analysis, including, but not limited to:
* Abstract domains * Abstract interpretation
* Abstract testing * Bug detection
* Data flow analysis * Model checking
* New applications * Program transformation
* Program verification * Security analysis
* Theoretical frameworks * Type checking
Paper Submission
----------------
Submissions can address any programming paradigm, including
concurrent, constraint, functional, imperative, logic,
object-oriented, aspect, multi-core, distributed, and GPU
programming. Papers must describe original work, be written and
presented in English, and must not substantially overlap with papers
that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a
journal or a conference with refereed proceedings. Submitted papers
will be judged on the basis of significance, relevance, correctness,
originality, and clarity. They should clearly identify what has been
accomplished and why it is significant. Paper submissions should not
exceed 15 pages in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science LNCS
format, excluding bibliography and well-marked appendices. Program
committee members are not required to read the appendices, and thus
papers must be intelligible without them. Submissions are handled
online. For further details please visit the above web page.
Artifact Submission
-------------------
As last year, we are encouraging authors to submit a virtual machine
image containing any artifacts and evaluations presented in the
paper. The goal of the artifact submissions is to strengthen our
field's scientific approach to evaluations and reproducibility of
results. The virtual machines will be archived on a permanent Static
Analysis Symposium website to provide a record of past experiments and
tools, allowing future research to better evaluate and contrast
existing work.
Artifact submission is optional. We accept only virtual machine images
that can be processed with Virtual Box. Details on what to submit and
how will be sent to the corresponding authors by mail shortly after
the paper submission deadline.
The submitted artifacts will be used by the program committee as a
secondary evaluation criteria whose sole purpose is to find additional
positive arguments for the paper's acceptance. Submissions without
artifacts are welcome and will not be penalized.
Dates
-----
* Submission deadline: abstracts must be received by March 7, 2014,
and complete papers by March 14, 2014. These deadlines are
strict; submissions where abstract or paper are received later
will not be evaluated.
* Artifacts must be submitted by March 28, 2014.
* Rebuttal: May 15-18, 2014.
* Notification of acceptance: June 1, 2014
* Final version due: June 22, 2014
* Early registration: On or before July 20, 2014
* Workshop day: September 10, 2014
* Conference: September 11-13, 2014
