[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, it is a key 
submitter of the future OMG standard dedicated to modeling and analysis 
of real-time and embedded systems  (www.promarte.org).

In the context of a project with Thales, we seek to deploy components 
conforming to the (lightweight) CORBA Component model (CCM) on FPGAs. 
The goal is that a single component technology can be used for a variety 
of different hardware devices (GPP, DSP, FPGA) enabling thus for 
instance software defined radio applications. The work is based on 
extensions of the CCM model we have studied in the European projects 
Compare (http://www.ist-compare.org) and Merced 
(http://www.itea-merced.org), in particular the addition of a connector 
concept that enables customized interaction mechanisms.

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 CCM and/or shall be familiar with VHDL/FPGAs. 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

Ansgar Radermacher
CEA Saclay
91191 Gif-sur-Yvette cedex
France

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

Best regards

Ansgar Radermacher
