Hi all, I have an opening on a PhD subject on refactoring for embedded software (start 10/2016), with a 6 month internship before, at CEA List, in collaboration with INRIA RMOD (Stéphane Ducasse has been very nice to agree to be the thesis co-supervisor). The PhD title is : 'Reuse of embedded sofware code artefacts by Refactoring' and concern itself with the evolution of embedded software when targeting new parallel embedded platforms or evaluation platforms, and how this can be expressed and supported by domain-specific Refactorings. It will take in account how software gets rewritten to target high performance embedded platforms, exposing highly advanced architectures (parallel and very high efficiency) and advanced software optimizations, and how this work should be expressed and supported by adequate refactorings. The internship is about starting the PhD with a sample study of the changes undertaken by embedded software code when it is evaluated and re-architectured/optimized in industrial projects undertaken by the laboratory. Both take place at CEA List, LCE lab, in Saclay (SW of Paris), in a laboratory known for its research in simulation of Systems on Chip (SoC), SoC design, compilation for manycores, and neural networks architectures. CEA is a fair employer for internships and PhD students, with a higher than average salary and significant benefits. Interested candidates should contact me or Stéphane Ducasse, Regards, Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA List DACLE/LIST/LCE 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95 http://www-list.cea.fr/index.php/en/technological-research/research-programm...
