PhD Position: Programming, Modelling and Verification of Concurrent Software
by Sekretariat SWT 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

(With apologies for cross-posting.) 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/.

ICE 2014
by Tobias Heindel 18 Feb '14

18 Feb '14

Liebe D-CON Gemeinde, eine schöne Gelegenheit Eure neuesten und schönsten Ideen zu präsentieren bietet sich dieses Jahr direkt in der Heimat. Bis bald in Drübeck! Beste Grüße, Tobias ICE 2014 7th Interaction and Concurrency Experience June 6, 2014, Berlin, Germany http://www.discotec.org/workshops/ice-2014 Satellite workshop of DisCoTec 2014 http://www.discotec.org === Highlights === - Innovative selection procedure - ICE welcomes submissions of full papers, short papers, and brief announcements of already published papers - Invited talks: Kim Larsen and Pavol Cerny - Special issue in a highly-reputed journal === Important Dates === 12 March 2014................... Abstract submission 15 March 2014...................Full paper submission 16 March - 15 April 2014....Reviews and PC discussion 16 April 2014......................Notification to authors 6 June 2014.......................ICE in Berlin 15 September 2014...........Camera-ready for post-proceedings === Scope === Interaction and Concurrency Experiences (ICEs) is a series of international scientific meetings oriented to theoretical computer science researchers with special interest in models, verification, tools, and programming primitives for complex interactions. The general scope of the venue includes theoretical and applied aspects of interactions and the synchronization mechanisms used among components of concurrent/distributed systems, related to several areas of computer science in the broad spectrum ranging from formal specification and analysis to studies inspired by emerging computational models. We solicit contributions relevant to Interaction and Concurrency, including but not limited to: * Formal semantics * Process algebras and calculi * Models and languages * Protocols * Logics and types * Expressiveness * Model transformations * Tools, implementations, and experiments * Specification and verification * Coinductive techniques * Tools and techniques for automation * Synthesis techniques The special focus of ICE 2014 is automation in concurrency and interaction. === Selection Procedure === Since its 1st edition in 2008, the distinguishing feature of ICE has been an innovative paper selection mechanism based on an interactive discussion amongst authors and PC members. During the review phase, each submission is published on a dedicated discussion forum. The discussion forum can be accessed by the authors of the submission and by all the PC members not in conflict with the submission. The forum is used by reviewers to ask questions and clarifications to the authors, allowing them to better explain all the aspects of their submission. The evaluation of the submission will take into account not only the reviews, but also the outcome of the discussion. As witnessed by the past six editions of ICE, this procedure considerably improves the accuracy of the reviews, the fairness of the selection, the quality of camera-ready papers, and the discussion during the workshop. === Submission Guidelines === We invite for three types of submissions: (1) Full Papers; (2) Short Papers; (3) Brief Announcements of already Published Papers. Full and short papers will appear in the post-proceedings and must report previously unpublished work and not be simultaneously submitted to other conferences/workshops with refereed proceedings. The ICE 2014 post-proceedings will be published in Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (http://eptcs.org/). In addition, we invite for brief announcements of already published results, should the authors be interested in discussing their published research with the ICE community and giving a talk. Brief announcements will not be part of the post-proceedings. Submissions must be made electronically in PDF format via EasyChair ( http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ice2014). Full papers should not exceed 15 pages in length, while short papers and brief announcements should not exceed 5 pages with the EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org/). Accepted (full and short) papers and brief announcements must be presented at the workshop by one of the authors. === Special Issue === We plan to invite extended versions of selected full papers to a special issue in a highly-reputed journal. Such contributions will be regularly peer-reviewed according to the standard journal policy, but they will be handled in a shorter time than regular submissions. === Invited Talks === Kim Larsen (Aalborg University, Denmark) Pavol Cerny (University of Colorado Boulder, USA) === Program Committee === Luis Soares Barbosa (Universidade do Minho, Portugal) Massimo Bartoletti (University of Cagliari, Italy) Simon Bliudze (EPFL, Switzerland) Laura Bocchi (Imperial College London, UK) Filippo Bonchi (CNRS, France) Roberto Bruni (University of Pisa, Italy) Marco Carbone (IT University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Nicolas D'Ippolito (Imperial College London, UK) Mike Dodds (York University, UK) Bernd Finkbeiner (Universität des Saarlandes, Germany) Elena Giachino (University of Bologna, Italy) Tobias Heindel (LIX École Polytechnique, France) Ludovic Henrio (CNRS, France) Sophia Knight (LIX École Polytechnique, France) Barbara Koenig (University of Duisburg, Germany) Vasileios Koutavas (Trinity College Dublin, UK) Julien Lange (Imperial College London, UK) Hernán Melgratti (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina) Shiva Nejati (University of Luxembourg, Luxembourg) Peter Ölveczky (University of Oslo, Norway) Luca Padovani (University of Torino, Italy) Antonio Ravara (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal) Owen Stephens (University of Southampton, UK) Ali Sezgin (IST Austria, Austria) Alexandra Silva (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) Paola Spoletini (University of Insubria, Italy) Bernardo Toninho (Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal & Carnegie Mellon University, USA) Emilio Tuosto (University of Leicester, UK) === ICEcreamers === Ivan Lanese (University of Bologna/INRIA, Italy; PC chair) Alberto Lluch Lafuente (IMT Institute for Advanced Studies Lucca, Italy) Ana Sokolova (University of Salzburg, Austria; PC chair) Hugo Torres Vieira (University of Lisbon, Portugal) === Steering Committee === Alexandra Silva (Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands) Simon Bliudze (EPFL, Switzerland) Filippo Bonchi (CNRS, France) Roberto Bruni (University of Pisa, Italy) Emilio Tuosto (University of Leicester, UK) Paola Spoletini (University of Insubria, Italy) === Contact === ice2014(a)easychair.org === Previous editions === The previous six editions of ICE have been held on * July 6th, 2008 in Reykjavik, Iceland, co-located with ICALP'08.

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. Details on what to submit and how will be forthcoming. 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. * 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 Program Chairs -------------- Markus Mueller-Olm (Universitaet Muenster, Germany) Helmut Seidl (TU Muenchen, Germany) Program Committee ----------------- Ahmed Bouajjani (LIAFA, University Paris Diderot, France) Michele Bugliesi (Universita Ca' Foscari, Italy) Johannes Kinder (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) Andy King (University of Kent, UK) Laura Kovacs (Chalmers Univ. of Techn., Gothenburg, Sweden) Viktor Kuncak (EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland) Francesco Logozzo (Microsoft Research, USA) Parthasarathi Madhusudan (Univ. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA) Isabella Mastroeni (Universita degli Studi di Verona, Italy) Anders Moeller (Aarhus University, Denmark) Alan Mycroft (Cambridge University, UK) Aditya Nori (Microsoft Research India) Sylvie Putot (CEA, LIST & Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France) Xavier Rival (INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, France) Sriram Sankaranarayanan (University of Colorado, Boulder, USA) Vijay D'Silva (University of California, Berkeley, USA) Gregor Snelting (KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany) Eran Yahav (Technion, Haifa, Israel) Steering Committee ------------------ Patrick Cousot (Ecole Normale Superieure, France & NYU, USA) Radhia Cousot (CNRS & Ecole Normale Superieure, France) Roberto Giacobazzi (University of Verona, Italy) Gilberto File (University of Padova, Italy) Manuel Hermenegildo (IMDEA Software Institute, Spain) David Schmidt (Kansas State University, USA) Planned Affiliated Events ------------------------- NSAD: The 6th Workshop on Numerical and Symbolic Abstract Domains SASB: The 5th Workshop on Static Analysis and Systems Biology TAPAS: The 5th Workshop on Tools for Automatic Program Analysis Venue ----- In 2014, the conference will take place in Novotel at Munich, Germany. Munich is the lively capital of Bavaria. Close to the alps, Munich hosts three universities and a variety of touristic attractions. These include museums such as the German museum for technology and science, several first class theaters as well as historical monuments built by the bavarian kings who took a keen interest in art, construction and collection.
