Mobility & Security group
http://www.lfcs.ed.ac.uk/m+s
Closing date: 30 September 2005
Following on from the successful "Mobile Resource Guarantees"
project, the Mobility & Security group at Edinburgh has four
research positions available, lasting from one to three years, in
two new projects working with proof-carrying code in Java.
Mobius: a European collaboration developing technologies to
support trust and security in the next generation of global
computers.
ReQueST: an EPSRC-funded project to equip e-Science applications
with formal proofs of their requirements for memory space and
processor time.
Both projects will involve working with Java, the Java Modeling
Language JML, logics for Java bytecode, and automated theorem
proving tools. Activities will range from theoretical research to
prototype implementation, with considerable scope for international
collaboration.
We seek applicants with a strong background in computer science, in
particular the following areas: program logics and proof systems;
formal methods; type systems and static analysis; semantics of
programming languages; compilation techniques; mobile code; embedded
systems.
Candidates should have either a PhD or equivalent research
experience. Please note that these are fixed-term positions,
associated with specific funded grants.
