Young Researcher Position available on the

ISAAC Project at ITC-IRST, Trento, Italy --------------------------------------------------------------------

The Automated Reasoning Systems Division (SRA) at ITC-irst (http://sra.itc.it/) is seeking a young researcher to join the team of the ISAAC project. The position lasts up to January 2007 and is already open. Monthly salaries vary depending on age, qualification, and experience.

The ISAAC Project ==================

The ISAAC project (AST3-CT-2003-501848, see http://www.cert.fr/isaac/) -- Improvement of Safety Activities on Aeronautical Complex Systems -- is a Specific Targeted Research Project sponsored by the European Commission under the 6th Framework Program. The ISAAC consortium comprises aeronautical industries (Alenia Aeronautica, Airbus France, Airbus UK, Airbus Germany, Saab AB, Societa' Italiana Avionica, Dassault Aviation) and research centers leaders in formal verification, safety assessment, and tool development (ITC-irst, ONERA CERT, Kuratorium OFFIS e. V., Prover Technology AB).

The goal of the ISAAC project is to define a methodology, based on formal methods, to improve the safety analysis practice for complex systems development in the aeronautic field, to set up a shared environment based on tools supporting the methodology, and to validate the methodology through its application to case-studies. The ISAAC project builds upon the results of the ESACS project (http://www.cert.fr/esacs/).

The role of ITC-irst in the project is manifold. ITC-irst is developing the FSAP/NuSMV-SA safety analysis platform (http://sra.itc.it/tools/FSAP/) to support the safety analysis of complex systems. This platform is based on the following components: FSAP (Formal Safety Analysis Platform), providing a graphical user interface for easier user interaction, and NuSMV-SA, the core engine providing the safety analysis capabilities, which are implemented on top of the NuSMV model checker (http://nusmv.irst.itc.it). The platform is being evaluated against some case-studies provided by the industrial partners.

Description of Activity =======================

The young researcher will be part of the ISAAC team at ITC-irst. The activity will include, as main responsibility, the design and implementation of new features in FSAP (Formal Safety Analysis Platform), and the preparation of project deliverables and the management of the FSAP/NuSMV-SA web site and the related documentation. Further activities may include modeling of industrial case-studies in the NuSMV language, and involvement in the implementation of the safety analysis algorithms in NuSMV-SA.

Candidate Requirements ======================

The ideal candidate should have a Master in Computer Science, Engineering or related areas, very good programming skills, and be able to work in a collaborative environment, with a strong commitment to achieving assigned objectives and reaching research excellence. The candidate is expected to be knowledgeable of:

* Linux and Windows operating systems * Cygwin or MinGW platforms * C/C++ programming languages * XML language and parser (expat library) * standard SW maintenance and compilation tools (make, gcc, debugger, automake/autoconf tools) * FLTK library (http://www.fltk.org/)

Background and/or previous experiences in the areas of safety analysis, formal verification and model checking, though not mandatory, will be considered favourably.
