Dear all, As part of a US funded project, we have an exciting opportunity for a PostDoc in the Security and Trust of Advanced Systems Group at the University of Exeter (UK) to work applying formal methods to enterprise systems: We will use formal methods (e.g., model checking, SMT solving, interactive theorem proving), to analyze business-process-driven (enterprise) systems (e.g., business logic and workflows described a BPMN models). A particular focus will be the analysis of complex compositions of workflows within one organization as well as across multiple organizations. In particular, we will develop novel techniques to detect faults and vulnerabilities (that can be exploited by both internal and external attackers) in complex business-process-driven systems, contributing to protecting critical workflows such as manufacturing or logistics. In such environments, attackers can exploit such faults and vulnerabilities to cause all kinds of harm such as direct financial losses or causing the production of safety or security critical products to stop. Overall, the project aims to develop automated techniques for assessing the risk of business process or workflows as well as finding and mitigating such attacks. This is a unique opportunity for somebody wanting to use/apply formal methods to the security of large enterprise systems.
