Post-doc position on SAGA-GEO
by Magne Haveraaen 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

Postdoctoral position in Programming Technology at the University of Bergen, Norway We are looking for an excellent researcher to fill a postdoctoral position. 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. Parts of the campus are in fact situated in the town centre. We have about 17.000 students and nearly 3000 employees. UiB is renowned for its research which holds a high European standard and we have three Centres of Excellence (CoE). The University of Bergen has a strong international profile which entails close co-operation with universities all over the world. The working environment will be the Programming technology Group at the Department of Informatics, University of Bergen. The group consists of 2 full-time professors, 3 adjunct professors, 1 postdoctoral fellows and 5 PhD positions. The group is very international and much of the working language is English. The project also involves cooperation with the Mathematics Department and CIPR. Applicants must have achieved a Norwegian doctorate in informatics, mathematics or an equivalent education abroad, or have presented the dissertation for assessment by the closing date for application. It is prerequisite the dissertation has been approved before appointment is granted. The chief objective of the postdoctoral position is to qualify the successful applicant for top academic positions. It is expected that the successful candidate will start late 2006 or early 2007. Salary will be paid in accordance with level 54 on the government salary scale (code 1352) currently equivalent to NOK 390 000 (1 EURO is about 8 NKR) per year before tax. There are no teaching duties. Positions in Norway include health and other benefits. Please contact Professor Magne Haveraaen http://www.ii.uib.no/~magne/ phone 47 55 58 4154 if you are interested in this position or if you have any questions. State employment shall reflect the multiplicity of the population at large to the highest possible degree. We have therefore adopted a personnel policy objective to ensure that we achieve a balanced age and sex composition and the recruitment of persons of various ethnic backgrounds. Persons of different ethnic backgrounds are therefore encouraged to apply for the position.

Release of Tom version 2.5
by Pierre-Etienne Moreau 11 Jul '07

Tom 2.5 announcement -------------------- It is our great privilege and pleasure to announce the availability of Tom version 2.5. This release continues our work on the integration of pattern matching and rule based programming facilities into C and Java. Tom is a pattern matching compiler developed at INRIA. It is particularly well-suited for programming various transformations on trees/terms and XML based documents. Its design follows our research on the semantics and the efficient compilation of rule based languages. Many applications have been developed in Tom. Among them, let us mention: - the Tom compiler itself - languages semantics, interpreters and program transformation tools - a generator of canonical abstract syntax trees (Gom) - a Just In Time strategy compiler using dynamic Java bytecode transformation - a proof assistant for supernatural deduction - a compiler algorithm for anti-pattern matching and disunification Tom is a complex compiler which adds powerful constructs to C and Java: rewrite rules, strategies, non linear syntactic matching, associative matching with neutral element (a.k.a. list-matching), XML based pattern matching, string matching, and equational rewriting. This offers the possibility to analyze and transform any kind of data-structure. Tom can be used for large scale developments and applications. It comes with documentation, as well as with programming and debugging support. This new release contains many improvements and new features: - a new compiler based on constraint propagation. This makes the code simpler and ready for combinations of theories. - a new strategy library, simpler to use, more efficient, and ready for graph traversal. - a new "rule" construct to specify conditional rewrite rules that are always applied (the data-structure is in normal form by construction). - a full support of list-operators whose domain is equal to the codomain. This corresponds to associative matching with neutral element (AU). An interesting variant for flattened lists (FL) has also been developed. - the data-structure can be normalized wrt. to associative-commutative (AC) or AC with neutral element (ACU). - any combination of patterns, anti-patterns, and list-operators is fully supported. - the possibility to define terms with pointers. This is very useful to represent, analyze, and transform term-graphs like CFG for example. Tom is available, in open source (GPL/BSD License), from the web page: http://tom.loria.fr/ Best regards, Tom development team
