PhD student positions in "foundations of cyber-physical systems", Aalborg (Denmark), Deadline: 15 Nov 2011

CISS, Aalborg,  Denmark - Several PhD positions
================================================

The IDEA4CPS center (www.idea4cps.dk) is a newly established 
Danish-Chinese basic research center on the foundations of cyber-physical 
systems. The center will research and develop mathematically well-founded 
and coherent models, methods, and tools that may serve as the foundation 
of a model-driven design methodology for cyber-physical systems. In order 
to pursue this goal, we seek several PhD applicants within the following 
research themes:

? Specification and modeling formalisms with special focus on 
resource-aware formalisms.

? Validation and analysis techniques with special emphasis on e.g. 
refinement and abstraction, quantitative analysis or model based testing 
and model learning.

? Compositionality with emphasis on components and interfaces for 
resources.

The ideal applicants have both a theoretical background as well as an 
interest in exploiting the results into algorithms, tools, and 
applications on selected industrial cases.

The center is a joint initiative funded by basic research organizations in 
Denmark and China, and it involves two partners in each country. This 
means that international collaboration will be a major theme of the 
research within the center.

Interested candidates may send further questions and a short statement
of research interests (possibly with a short CV) to the Danish Principal
Investigator Kim Guldstrand Larsen (kgl@cs.aau.dk) or work package
leader Arne Skou (ask@cs.aau.dk) before November 15, 2011.
