[TYPES/announce] Postdoc position in symbolic execution at Imperial College London
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Software Reliability Group (http://srg.doc.ic.ac.uk/) in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. The goal of this project is to investigate and design program transformations --- both semantics-preserving and semantics-altering --- that increase the scalability of symbolic execution. The techniques will primarily be implemented on top of the KLEE symbolic execution engine. To apply for this position, you will need to have a strong background in compilers and program analysis, and a good understanding of software engineering and operating systems. You will also need experience in building and working with large software systems and tools. Prior experience with LLVM and KLEE is desirable, but not required. Applicants will have (or shortly expect to receive) a PhD degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science or a related field, and will be expected to have a proven track record with strong publications in relevant areas. This position will be based at the South Kensington campus in central London. The application deadline is 4 September 2015, with interviews expected to take place on 18 September.

[TYPES/announce] Deadline extension - DCM 2015 (Cali, Colombia, co-located with ICTAC 2015)
[ The Types Forum (announcements only), http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-announce ] == FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS -- DCM 2015 11th International Workshop on Developments in Computational Models October 28, 2015, Cali, Colombia http://dcm-workshop.org.uk/2015/ A satellite event of ICTAC 2015 - http://www.ictac2015.co DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF EXTENDED ABSTRACTS (5 pages): AUGUST 17, 2015 == Several new models of computation have emerged in the last few years, and many developments of traditional computational models have been proposed with the aim of taking into account the new demands of computer systems users and the new capabilities of computation engines. A new computational model, or a new feature in a traditional one, usually is reflected in a new family of programming languages, and new paradigms of software development. DCM 2015 is the eleventh in a series of international workshops focusing on new computational models. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers who are currently developing new computational models or new features for traditional computational models, in order to foster their interaction, to provide a forum for presenting new ideas and work in progress, and to enable newcomers to learn about current activities in this area. DCM 2015 will be a one-day satellite event of ICTAC 2015, the Twelfth International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing. == TOPICS OF INTEREST Topics of interest include all abstract models of computation and their properties, and their applications to the development of programming languages and systems: - functional calculi: lambda-calculus, rho-calculus, term and graph rewriting; - quantum computation, including implementations and formal methods in quantum protocols; - probabilistic computation and verification in modeling situations; - chemical, biological and bio-inspired computation, including spatial models, self-assembly, growth models; - models of concurrency, including the treatment of mobility, trust, and security; - infinitary models of computation; - information-theoretic ideas in computing. == IMPORTANT DATES - Submission Deadline for Extended Abstracts: August 17 (extended) - Notification: 13 September - Pre-proceedings version due: 5 October - Workshop: 28 October - Submission Deadline for EPTCS Proceedings: 7 December == INVITED SPEAKERS Mauricio Ayala Rincón, Universidade de Brasilia (Brazil). Gilles Dowek, INRIA (France). == SUBMISSIONS Submit your paper in PDF format via the conference EasyChair submission page: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dcm2015 Submissions should be an abstract of at most 5 pages, written in English. Simultaneous submission to journals, conferences or other workshops is not permitted. Please use the EPTCS macro package and follow the instructions of EPTCS, following the EPTCS style: http://style.eptcs.org/ A submission may contain an appendix, but reading the appendix should not be necessary to assess its merits. After the workshop authors are invited to submit a full paper of their presentation. Accepted contributions will appear in an issue of EPTCS. == PROGRAM COMMITTEE: Mario Benevides (Brazil) Luís Caires (Portugal) Ugo Dal Lago (Italy) Nachum Dershowitz (Israel) Jérôme Feret (France) Marcelo Frias (Argentina) Russ Harmer (France) Ivan Lanese (Italy) Radu Mardare (Denmark) Elvira Mayordomo (Spain) César A.
