The position is available for a period of 2 years at the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen, Norway. It is financed by the Research Council of Norway (NFR) through the project Scientific Computing with Algebraic and Generative Abstractions for Geophysical Problems (SAGA-GEO, http://www.ii.uib.no/saga/). The project conducts basic research on the use of advanced programming technologies for e- science. The position is in this area in general, but there is a preference for an expert in programming of parallel computers. University of Bergen is a city university.

New book on software generation
by Tony Sloane 22 May '07

22 May '07

[Apologies if you receive this mail via multiple lists] Please excuse a small moment of self-publicity, but readers of this list may well be interested in the following new book: Generating Software from Specifications Uwe Kastens, Anthony Sloane, William Waite Jones and Bartlett, MA, USA January 2007 Blurb: "Generating Software From Specifications discusses how to leverage existing generation technology to achieve software reuse and thereby reduce the cost and improve the reliability of software. The authors approach can be applied incrementally, without disrupting current projects or requiring changes in existing programs or methodology. Robust, public-domain tools are available to support these component-based software development techniques on a number of levels, from simple turn key operations to custom software generation." The book is based on our experiences from creating and using the Eli Language Processor Generation System over almost twenty years. Examples and case studies are drawn from the Eli system, but the techniques discussed can be applied in a large variety of settings. Full information including table of contents can be found at the publishers website: http://www.jbpub.com/catalog/0763741248/

EPRIDE Workshop - Extensible Program Representations
by Torbjörn Ekman 07 May '07

07 May '07

* Call for Participation: Workshop on Extensible Program Representations for Interactive Development Environments (*EPRIDE*)* * * The *EPRIDE* 2007 Workshop will be held on Monday July 30th, immediately preceding ECOOP (European conference on Object-Oriented Programming) in Berlin. The thesis of the workshop is that no single, pre-defined representation of programs in an IDE can possibly be adequate for all of the uses that may emerge; instead, we must focus on extensible representations. How can we engineer representations that are extensible and efficient, and yet provide clients with a simple way of getting the information that they need? The workshop aims to bring together those involved in building plugins and restructuring tools for IDEs — the consumers of information about the program — and those involved in developing parsers and program analyses that /create/ the information needed for the tools — the providers of information. For more information, and to find out how to participate, please go to http://c2.com/w4/*epride* <http://c2.com/w4/epride> . The deadline for applications is 13th May.
