[Ansgar Radermacher]

The Software for Process Safety Laboratory, part of the CEA-List (450 
researchers in the field of software-intensive systems, see
http://www-list.cea.fr/) has an open position for a research assistant 
in the area of model-driven engineering and distributed real-time, 
embedded systems.

The Software Process for Safety Laboratory offers a creative 
international environment, a possibility to conduct highly competitive
research on a global scale and involvement in teaching. Within the 
project, there are plenty of opportunities to cooperate with national
and international partners. There is the possibility to gain valuable 
experience in the field of model-driven engineering and real-time
embedded systems design. The lab is responsible, within CEA-List, for 
research activities related to methods and tools for the development of 
real-time embedded systems. In this scope, one of the prevailing themes 
of the laboratory is the application of model-driven approaches to 
real-time embedded systems development. The lab has a recognized 
expertise in this field, both on the academic and industrial side. It 
participates in numerous European and national research projects 
(Artist2, Atesst, ...), has steady and close relations with some major 
actors of the domain, and is strongly involved in international 
standardisation bodies like the Object Management Group, where it is 
caring the ongoing response for the future OMG standard dedicated to 
real-time and embedded systems modelling and analysis (www.promarte.org).

In the context of a joint project with (among other partners) Airbus, we 
seek to develop a safety and time critical middleware for future 
integrated modular avionics platforms (IMA), in particular with respect 
to deployment and configuration and quality of service. The work is 
based on existing component based middleware approaches, such as the 
Corba Component Model or Fractal/Think.

The position is funded for a period of 1 year with the option to extend 
the period by a half year.

The candidate must hold a PhD or equivalent with top performance in a 
field that is closely related to computer science. He should have a good 
background in middleware technology and/or the embedded (ideally 
avionics) domain. English is mandatory, French is a plus, but is not 
required.

Applications shall be sent by e-mail to ansgar.radermacher at cea.fr or 
postal mail to

Applications have to contain detailed experience and background 
information and should contain a letter of recommendation.
