UNSW Sydney Seeking a Postdoc in Programming Languages and Verification
by Klein, Gerwin (Data61, Kensington NSW) 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

If only there were a place where I could prove theorems, change the world, and have fun while doing it... Sounds too good to exist? In the Trustworthy Systems team at UNSW and Data61 that's what we do for a living. We are the creators of seL4, the world's first fully formally verified operating system kernel with extreme performance and strong security & correctness proofs. Our highly international team is located on the UNSW campus, close to the beautiful beaches of sunny Sydney, Australia, one of the world's most liveable cities. We are offering a two-year postdoctoral researcher position that would allow you to join us in Sydney, move things forward, and have a global impact. Cogent is a language we designed that co-generates code and proofs in order to ease the verification of systems components around seL4. Potential topics include designing and implementing new domain-specific programming languages extending Cogent, writing formal specifications and proofs in Isabelle/HOL, developing formally verified infrastructure for building secure systems on top of seL4, contributing to improved proof automation and reasoning techniques, and applying formal proof to real-world systems and tools. To apply you should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or similar. You should also possess a significant subset of the following skills: - functional programming in a language like Haskell, ML, or OCaml - first-order or higher-order formal logic - basic experience in C - ability and desire to quickly learn new techniques - ability and desire to work in a larger team If you additionally have experience - in software verification with an interactive theorem prover such as Isabelle/HOL, HOL4, Coq, or Agda, and/or - with programming languages and verified or certifying compilers you should definitely apply! You will work with a unique world-leading combination of OS and formal methods experts, students at undergraduate and PhD level, engineers, and researchers from 5 continents, speaking over 15 languages. Trustworthy Systems is a fun, creative, and welcoming workplace with flexible hours & work arrangements. We value diversity in all forms and welcome applications from people of all ages, including people with disabilities, and those who identify as LGBTIQ. See https://ts.data61.csiro.au/diversity/ <https://ts.data61.csiro.au/diversity/> for more information. For applying, use the following link: http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/497074/postdoctoral-fell… <http://external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/497074/postdoctoral-fell…> -Salary range depending on experience and qualifications: $95,449 - $102,091 (AUD) + 17% superannuation (retirement funds) - 2-year fixed term contract - the start date is negotiable - flexible hours and work arrangements This round of applications closes on the 13th of July 2019, 11:50pm AEST. For any questions on this position, please contact Christine Rizkallah <c.rizkallah(a)unsw.edu.au <mailto:c.rizkallah@unsw.edu.au>> The seL4 code and proof, and the Cogent project, are open source.

Conference: The 9th International Conference on Current and Future Trends of Information and Communication Technologies in Healthcare (ICTH) Date: November 4-7, 2019 Location: Coimbra, Portugal Website: http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/icth-19/ ********************************************************************************** Important Dates ------------------ - Paper Submission Due: July 15, 2019 (Firm Deadline) - Author Notification: August 6, 2019 - Final Manuscript Due: September 6, 2019 Publication ------------- All ICTH 2019 accepted papers will be published by Elsevier Science in the open-access Procedia Computer Science series on-line. Procedia Computer Science is hosted by Elsevier on www.Elsevier.com and on Elsevier content platform ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com) and will be freely available worldwide. All papers in Procedia will be indexed by Scopus ( www.scopus.com) and by Thomson Reuters' Conference Proceeding Citation Index (http://thomsonreuters.com/conference-proceedings-citation-index/) All papers in Procedia will also be indexed by Scopus (www.scopus.com) and Engineering Village (Ei) (www.engineeringvillage.com) This includes EI Compendex (www.ei.org/compendex) Moreover, all accepted papers will be indexed in DBLP (http://dblp.uni-trier.de/) The papers will contain linked references, XML versions and citable DOI numbers. Selected papers will be invited for publication, in the special issues of: - International Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Humanized Computing (IF: 1.588), by Springer ( http://www.springer.com/engineering/journal/12652) - International Journal of Computing and Informatics (IF: 0.504), ( http://www.cai.sk/ojs/index.php/cai/index) - International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications, by IGI Global: ( http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-health-medical-comm…) ICTH 2019 will be held in conjunction with the 10th International Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks (EUSPN: http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/euspn-19/) Papers on either completed or ongoing research are invited in the following and related tracks: http://cs-conferences.acadiau.ca/icth-19/call-for-papers.html ICTH 2019 will be held in the city of Coimbra. Coimbra is a historical city and a municipality in Portugal. Among the many archaeological structures dating back to the Roman era, when Coimbra was the settlement of Aeminium, are its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus. Similarly, buildings from the period when Coimbra was the capital of Portugal (from 1131 to 1255) still remain. During the late Middle Ages, with its decline as the political centre of the Kingdom of Portugal, Coimbra began to evolve into a major cultural centre. This was in large part helped by the establishment of the University of Coimbra in 1290, the oldest academic institution in the Portuguese-speaking world. Apart from attracting many European and international students, the university is visited by many tourists for its monuments and history. Its historical buildings were classified as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2013: "Coimbra offers an outstanding example of an integrated university city with a specific urban typology as well as its own ceremonial and cultural traditions that have been kept alive through the ages." Its atmospheric, beautiful historic core cascades down a hillside in a lovely setting on the east bank of the Rio Mondego: it's a multicoloured collage of buildings spanning nearly a millennium. The conference take place in the environment of technology startups and laboratories within the installations of Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN). IPN is created in 1991 through a University of Coimbra initiative, Instituto Pedro Nunes (IPN)2 is a private non-profit organization which promotes innovation and the transfer of technology, establishing the connection between the scientific and technological environment and the production sector. IPN mission is to leverage a strong university - enterprise relationship for the promotion of innovation, rigor, quality and entrepreneurship in private and public sector organizations by acting in three complementary areas: Research and technological development, consultancy and specialized services; Incubation and acceleration of businesses and ideas; Highly specialized training and promotion of science and technology. In the year of 2010, the Instituto Pedro Nunes incubator3 has been awarded as the Best Science-based Incubator in the world.

The future of the SPARC NCG backend
by Ben Gamari 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hello everyone, If you use (or think you might use in the future) GHC's SPARC NCG backend please do leave a note on #16882 [1]. My impression is that it has no users and no plausible means of testing. Consequently I am suggesting that we remove it in GHC 8.12. Cheers, - Ben [1] https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/issues/16882
