- Integrated Software Development Methodology - Five positions -
-
- Software Verification Research Centre, Department of Computer Science
- (SVRC)
-
- The Software Verification Research Centre is a Special Research Centre
- of the Australian Research Council. Its mission is to create improved
- methods and tools, of industrial significance, for developing verified
- software. Five positions are available in a project which will formulate
- a new methodology (ISDM) for developing verified software, based on the
- integration of successful aspects of current methodologies including VDM,
- Z and object-orientation, together with appropriate tools support.
-
- Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow - ISDM methods research.
- The appointee will take a leading role in a team consisting of two
- full-time positions with contributions from other SVRC staff and projects.
- This team is to develop improved methods for ISDM. The appointee will
- coordinate this work with concurrent work on ISDM foundations and tools.
- A strong background in logic and discrete mathematics and/or formal methods
- for software development is essential. Prior experience of software
- verification is highly desirable. Applicants should be able to demonstrate
- initiative and responsibility in working towards team objectives. The
- position is for up to three years in the first instance, subject beyond
- the end of 1993 to continuation of the SVRC's Special Research Centre funding.
-
- Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow - ISDM tools research.
- The appointee will take a leading role in a team consisting of two
- full-time positions, with contributions from other SVRC staff and projects.
- This team is to investigate the design and prototyping of tools support
- for ISDM, exploiting as appropriate existing SVRC tools development
- capabilities, which include both generic structure editors and extended
- logic programming languages.
- The appointee will coordinate this work with concurrent
- work on ISDM foundations and methods.
- A strong background in relevant aspects of
- software engineering is essential. Some familiarity with formal methods
- and software verification is highly desirable.
- Applicants should be able to demonstrate
- initiative and responsibility in working towards team objectives. The
- position is for up to three years in the first instance, subject beyond
- the end of 1993 to continuation of the SVRC's Special Research Centre funding.
-
- Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow - ISDM foundations.
- This position is to investigate logical and mathematical aspects of the
- proposed ISDM, in collaboration with concurrent work on methods and tools.
- A strong background in logic, discrete mathematics and formal methods for
- software development is needed for this position. Applicants should enjoy
- working in a team.
-
- Senior Research Assistant - two positions.
- Applicants should have a good Honours degree in Computer Science, or in
- a cognate discipline such as discrete mathematics or logic together with
- significant background in Computer Science. One position is to assist
- investigation of formal methods for software development, and applicants
- for this position should preferably have experience of formal methods.
- The other position is to assist research on tools support for the
- proposed ISDM, and applicants for this position should be experienced
- in both procedural and logic programming, and should have some knowledge
- of the role of formal methods in software development.
- Applicants for both positions should enjoy teamwork.
