- A post-doctoral position is available in my group at Bull-IMAG
- Grenoble, as part of the Esprit Basic Research Project
- ``Broadcast''. This new project is doing research in the area of
- large-scale distributed systems, covering the whole ground from paradigms,
- algorithms, and architectures, all the way to actual systems. Broadcast
- comprises several groups in Europe: Ecole Polytechnique Federale de
- Lausanne (CH), IMAG Grenoble (FR), INESC Lisboa (PT), INRIA Rocquencourt (FR),
- IRISA Rennes (FR), University of Bologna (IT), University of
- Newcastle-upon-Tyne (UK), and University of Twente (NL).
-
- IMAG is the research institute for Computer Science and Applied Mathematics
- of the Universities of Grenoble, also sponsored by Centre National de la
- Recherche Scientifique. It groups 9 research laboratories, totalling
- about 600 persons (including 300 graduate students). Bull-IMAG is one of
- these laboratories, specializing in distributed systems and applications;
- it has joint sponsorship from Bull. In the last three years, the work has
- concentrated on the Guide project, an object-oriented distributed system,
- supporting a language for shared distributed objects.
-
- The main tasks of IMAG in Broadcast are:
-
- Object replication, group protocols and their use for cooperative work,
- system support (addressing, protection, storage) for objects.
-
- This work involves cooperation with other partners of the project.
- The post-doc is expected to work on either of those aspects, for which
- preliminary work has already started. The emphasis is on scalable algorithms,
- since the main thrust of Broadcast is on large scale systems.
-
- Post-doctoral candidates with experience in distributed systems, operating
- systems, languages for distributed programming, are invited to send
- their resume to me (including degrees, professional experience, publications),
- together with the names of three professional references.
- Applicants are not required to master the French language at the time of
- their application.
-
- The technical reports and recent publications produced by our group are
- available by anonymous ftp on the server imag.fr (129.88.32.1) in the
- pub/GUIDE/doc directory.
- The list of the available reports is in the file LIST in that directory.
- A brief presentation of the project is in guide-overview.ps in that directory.
-
- Grenoble is located in the French Alps, about 90 km south-east of Lyon
- and 140 km south of Geneva. The city has 160 000 inhabitants,
- the metropolitan area about 400 000. The city has strong universities and
- engineering schools (about 40 000 students) and important high-tech
- industries (Bull, Hewlett-Packard, Sun, OSF, France Telecom, among others,
- have R&D centers here). There is an active cultural life, as well as
- rich opportunities for all-seasons outdoors activities (skiing, climbing,
- hiking) within 30 minutes' drive.
