LAAS-CNRS
Toulouse, France.
OSEC is a 2-year project funded by the LAAS laboratory. It is a joint
project of 3 research groups: MRS, OLC and MOGISA. We are seeking a
9-months postdoc (possible extension to 1 year) to work on the project
OSEC. The position is to be filled up to January 3rd, 2011 and is funded
by a grant from the LAAS-CNRS.
Title: Scheduling for Critical On-board Systems
-----
Context:
-------
The conditions for the correct performance of a real-time system include
not only the logical correctness of each of the tasks that are executed
but also their timing correctness, that is the system should meet the
timing requirements of each task. The design of such systems usually
relies on a pessimistic analysis based on worst-case execution times of
the tasks in order to find a taks scheduling meeting the strict
real-time requirements of the tasks. Even if it is approriate in some
specific application areas (e.g. aeronautics), this approach does not
allow to address many of the most important real-time system
applications because, when the execution time variance is high, it leads
to a significant over-provisionning of resources and puts
unnecessary constraints on the development. For real-time systems for
which the task set exhibit substantial variability, one would like to
develop approaches taking into account the stochastic nature of
processing times. Such approaches can lead to a drastic reduction in the
amount of on-board processing resources. Similarly, taking into account
the needs for system reconfiguration in case of failure can lead to
significant gains.
Candidate Profile:
------------------
The candidate must have:
- a PhD degree in computer science or control,
- Excellent skills in stochastic modelling (queueing theory, stochastic
Petri nets, (max,+)-systems,...),
- Knowledge in the domain of real-time systems,
- Good organizational and communication skills.
Application :
-----------
Each application must contain the following documents:
- a detailed CV
- a cover letter with a short description of previous works
- one or two reference letters with contact addresses
Starting date: January 3rd, 2011.
-------------
Applications should be sent electronically to Olivier Brun (brun@laas.fr)
