VeRDi - Verified Reconfiguration Driven by execution

We are opening a post-doc position in the VeRDi project.

The VeRDi project is funded by the French region Pays De La Loire
where Nantes is located. VeRDi is an acronym for Verified Reconfiguration
Driven by execution. It aims at addressing distributed software
reconfiguration
in an efficient and verified way

The postdoc position is part of the multi-disciplinary VeRDi project.
VeRDi can be divided in two different parts (though strongly related):
(1) the design of efficient distributed reconfiguration models and systems;
(2) the formalization of these models and the formal verification of some
properties on them.

The STACK team and the other actors of the VeRDi project are researchers
and engineers specialized in the first aspect of the project.
The role of the postdoc candidate is thus to lead the second research
aspect
of the project with Helene Coullon. To help the candidate in this difficult
task,
two collaborations have already been initiated by Helene Coullon.
The postdoc candidate will collaborate with the STR team of the LS2N
specialized in Petri Nets and model checking, as well as with
the Northern Arizona University (Frederic Loulergue) for aspects related
to the proof assistant Coq. Moreover, the LS2N also holds the Inria
research team Gallinette, specialized in proof assistants and involved
the Coq development team. Finally, research is already ongoing regarding
the formal and verification aspects of the Madeus deployment model
designed by the team.

This work will be the starting point of the postdoc candidate.

The missions of the postdoc candidate are to:
- formalize and prove few properties on reconfiguration models both
statically and at runtime,
- enrich the team and participate to the team decisions from a formal
perspective,
- collaborate with other teams specialized in model checking and proof
assistants,
- publish in a top ranked conference.

The expected skills of the candidate are:
- a strong knowledge on formalization, model checking and proof assistants,
- an ability to collaborate with other domains and to apply their knowledge
to other domains,
- a strong motivation for the project and its subject.

The postdoc position is based in Nantes at the IMT Atlantique engineering
school. The candidate will be a member of the STACK research group
(http://stack.inria.fr/). This team is part of the LS2N laboratory of
Nantes,
and the DAPI department of IMT Atlantique. This position opens in
November 2018 for a period of 18 months. The salary of the postdoc candidate
will be 33500 with an additional annual bonus of 6.6%. By subtracting taxes
and spreading the bonus on each month, the net salary is equivalent to
2380e.

Please contact Helene Coullon to apply: ***@inria.fr
