The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI - http://www.gssi.it/ ), a
recently established international PhD school and a Centre for advanced
studies in L'Aquila (ITALY), offers 10 PhD positions in Computer Science
(CS).

The PhD program in CS is mainly concerned with heterogeneous distributed
systems and their interactions. Different perspectives are offered to
provide students with the necessary tools for the design, the
implementation, the management and the use of distributed systems. The
main research areas of interest are:
- Efficient algorithms for communication networks and social networks;
- Formal methods for systems correctness and analysis;
- Software engineering for efficient and resilient applications.

Apart from pursuing their own research studies, the successful
candidates will have the opportunity to cooperate with members of the
research group and of the Scientific Board, as well as with the frequent
guests of the Institute. Detailed information about the CS research
group and about the activities for the PhD program in CS can be found at
