Software Composition Group, University of Bern, Switzerland is seeking  
candidates for a postdoctoral position in the area of reverse  
engineering and quality assurance of legacy J2EE applications.

The postdoc will work on providing a unified meta-model for J2EE  
applications and on devising new techniques (e.g., metrics,  
visualizations, clustering) to reverse engineer and analyze the  
quality of such applications. More details about the project can be
