Description

Research description
  • Keywords:
    Distributed systems, multi-party interaction, structured interaction, formal methods, BIP, choreography
  • Research interests:
    Coordination frameworks, such as BIP and JavaBIP, implement the coordination semantics using centralised engines orchestrating the execution of system components—a significant bottleneck for large systems. Previous attempts at the distributed implementation of BIP systems only partially address this problem. Most importantly, they disregard the inherent structure of BIP connectors considering only sets of flat interactions, defined by a list of components that must all participate in the synchronisation. Eliminating structure from BIP connectors may lead to exponential explosion of the number of such flat interactions. New protocols are needed that would take into account the connector structure, if necessary, relaxing the atomicity of interactions. Beyond BIP, the results could be applied to horeography composition.
  • Inria team:
    SPIRALS: https://team.inria.fr/spirals/
  • Team description:
    Spirals is conducting research activities in the domains of distributed systems and software engineering. Spirals aims at introducing more automation in the adaptation mechanisms of software systems, in particular, transitioning from adaptive systems to self-adaptive systems. In this context, Spirals targets three properties: self-healing, self-optimization, and self-protection. With self-healing, Spirals aims at studying and tailoring data mining solutions for the design and implementation of software systems. With self-optimization, Spirals aims at sharing, collecting, and analysing distributed behaviours and data to continuously tailor, optimize, and keep under working conditions software systems. With self-protection, Spirals aims at automating as much as possible the security of software systems with respect to moving threats.

What are the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships?

The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship is a grant that supports the career development of researchers, by enhancing their individual competence, diversifying their skills at a multidisciplinary level, and providing an intersectoral experience. The MSCA-PF grant provides a competitive salary plus mobility and family allowances if applicable, as well as research, training, and networking costs. The MSCA European Postdoctoral Fellowships has a duration between 12 to 24 months in an EU member state or associated country + an optional placement in the private sector for 6 months within the EU member states.

For more information: MSCA-PF

 

What are the eligibility criteria?
  • Candidates must hold a PhD at the call deadline (14 Sept. 2022) and have 8 years maximum of full-time research experience after the PhD.
  • “Mobility rule”: candidates must NOT have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before the call deadline (exceptions exist for European nationals).
  • Candidates can be from any nationality.
  • Although not an eligibility criterion, a good track record is recommended.
  • An additional layer is at Inria institutional level regarding security procedures in recruitment, which must be approved by our Defence Security Officer.

 

What is needed to apply?

The MSCA PF programme requires candidates to write their own research project, in synergy with a supervisor at a European host institution. The proposal is a ten pages document describing the scientific idea, its expected impacts and implementation pathway, with an additional 5 pages for the candidate’s CV. At Inria, we provide extensive support to good quality candidates in the form of preliminary meetings, group training to better understand the programme and the grant proposal requirements, and one-to-one review sessions by specialised staff in the late stage.

 

I’m interested. What should I do?
  1. Check our list of hosting offers, when a domain fits your profile or seems complimentary to your expertise, go to the research team webpage and look for more info.
  2. Once you think you have an interesting research project idea that fits the domains described in one of our hosting offers, write it down in 4-5 lines and email the indicated contact persons (even better if you can add a CV or a link to your profile).
  3. That’s it for now! Based on the info you provided we will get back to you regarding the next steps.

 

When should I do that?

The earlier the better! If we had to give an indication, early spring to late May.

 

What’s in it for me?

Selected candidates will have access to privileged grant writing training sessions and one-to-one proposal review sessions in the last phase with our experienced European Officers. The sessions will take place on the following dates (all times CEST):

  1. 26 April 11:00 – 12:30
    Introduction to scheme, general considerations & invitation to discuss projects with supervisors
  2. 31 May 9:00 – 12:30
    Grant writing guide (with exercises),
  3. 26 July 10:00 – 12:30
    Grant writing: Details & advice on polishing
