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.
The successful applicant must comply with the guidelines that apply to
the position at any time.The University of Bergen applies the principles
of public openness when recruiting staff to scientific positions.

item "Apply for this position". The application should contain a brief
statement of the applicants interest and motivation; and the names and
email addresses of three referees.
In addition, the above material and copies of exams (bachelor, master,
PhD) and certificates, and up to 10 scientific works and a list of all
publications should be sent by e-mail to saga-inquire(a)ii.uib.no with
subject "saga-geo post doc 06/1147".
Closing date for applications: 15th December 2006.

LDTA Call for papers
This is the Call For Papers for the Eighth Workshop on Language
Descriptions,
Tools and Applications (LDTA 2008)
LDTA is a satellite event of ETAPS which takes place between March 29 and
April 6, 2008 in Budapest, Hungary.
See http://ldta2008.inf.elte.hu/
Please forward this call to anybody who you think might be interested in
this
workshop.
== Scope ==
LDTA is an application and tool oriented forum on meta programming in a
broad
sense. A meta program is a program that takes other programs as input or
output. The focus of LDTA is on generated or otherwise efficiently
implemented
meta programs, possibly using high level descriptions of programming
languages.
Tools and techniques presented at LDTA are usually applicable in the
context of
"Language Workbenches" or "Meta Programming Systems" or simply as parts of
advanced programming environments or IDEs. The applications areas
include, but
are not limited to:
* Program analysis, transformation, generation and verification
* Implementation of Domain Specific Languages (both visual and textual)
* Reverse engineering and reengineering
* Refactoring and other source-to-source transformations
* Application modelling (MDE, MDA, Software Factories, Product lines)
* Grammar engineering / Grammarware
* Language definition and language prototyping
* Debugging, profiling and testing
* IDE construction
* Compiler construction
LDTA is traditionally a forum where computer science theories are put to the
test of real-world software engineering issues, for example by applying:
* context-free grammars to parser generation for real programming
languages,
* attribute grammars to static analyzer and compiler generation,
* term rewriting to source-to-source transformation,
* action semantics to programming language implementation,
* model checking to software verification.
Note that LDTA solicits submissions from any technological or theoretical
domain, as long as the paper is within the application scope.
== Submission Procedure and Publication ==
Submissions in the following categories are admissible:
* research papers,
* experience reports,
* tool demonstrations.
The final versions of accepted papers will be published in Electronic
Notes in
Theoretical Computer Science (ENTCS), Elsevier Science, and will be made
available during the workshop.
Each submission must:
* be original, i.e. not published or submitted elsewhere,
* contain a clear motivation,
* contain a thorough analysis of the claimed results
(not for tool demonstrations),
* be written in less than 15 pages (research papers and experience
reports),
or less than 5 pages (tool demonstrations),
* specify which category (research, experience, tool demonstration)
the paper is to be considered under,
* use the ENTCS style.
The authors of the research papers and experience reports are required
to give
a 25 minute presentation at LDTA 2008. The authors of the tool
demonstrations
are required to give a 15 minute introduction to the tool, and to
demonstrate
their tool in a more interactive (parallel) session during 90 minutes.
The authors of the best full-length papers will be invited to write a
journal
version of their paper which will be separately reviewed and, assuming
acceptance, be published in journal form. As in past years, this will be
done
in a special issue devoted to LDTA 2008 of the journal Science of Computer
Programming (Elsevier Science).
The authors of the best tool demonstrations will be invited to write a short
paper and submit the source of code of their tool, which will both be
separately reviewed and, assuming acceptance, be published in the
special issue
on Experimental Software and Toolkits (EST) of the journal Science of
Computer
Programming (Elsevier Science).
Please email your submission to both a.johnstone(a)rhul.ac.uk and
jurgen.vinju(a)cwi.nl
