Context


The research work is to be done in the Partial Evaluation Group at
INRIA/ IRISA (Rennes, France). This group mainly consists of 1 faculty
member, 2 research scientists, 2 post-docs, 4 Ph.D. students, and 1
research assistant. More information about the place and the research
topics of the group can be obtained from our Home page.


Research Area


The Partial Evaluation group at IRISA focuses on the development of
Adaptive Software. Adaptive software is an approach aimed at
reconciling generality and performance. It is based on a program
transformation technique called Partial Evaluation which consists of
specializing programs with respect to invariants. Utilizing these
invariants allows a general system to be instantiated for a particular
environment. The instantiated system is optimized in the sense that
all the operations that depended on the invariants have been
performed. Our work is being applied to various areas including
operating systems, computer graphics, and scientific code.


Research Project


The research project is aimed at developing partial evaluation
techniques for Java. This project continues our effort in compiling
and optimizing Java programs, as started by our Java environment,
named Salsa. This system includes a compiler from Java bytecode to
efficient C code and a Java interpreter. The successful candidate for
the post-doctoral position will conduct research in object-oriented
programming, distributed systems, program transformation, and program
analysis. The programmer will provide support for the development of
prototypes. Good programming skills in SML, C and Java are required.


Applicants should have a solid background in some of the areas
mentioned above. To apply, please send a resume, the name of three
references, and a statement of purpose. Applications will be reviewed
as they arrive. Positions are subject to final authorization.


Please contact Charles Consel (consel@irisa.fr) if you need further
information.
