PROJECT DESCRIPTION It is more and more acknowledged that modern information systems will be formed out of numerous heterogeneous components, in general, disseminated through networks. This fact induces a radical change in the design of information systems perceived yesterday as isolated and recognized today as open, distributed, mobile, interactive, and heterogeneous. At the programming level, this evolution results in a growing interest for so-called coordination languages, coordination models, and component-based systems. At the application level, this has resulted in an increasing attention for web services, and, in particular, for the integration of these services. However, the foundations of this new way of thinking information systems is far from being completely understood. The proposed postdoctoral research aims at contributing to this goal by studying coordination models in the context of web service integration. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - design of coordination mechanisms for web service integration - study of the expressiveness of such mechanisms - methods for verifying properties of web services - development of behavioral types for web services integration - methodologies for coordinating web services. PROFILE FOR THE APPLICANT Following the general policy of the university, candidates should be not older than 35 years and should have obtained a Ph.D. in Computer Science within 5 years in a non-Belgian university. They should also have a research experience in coordination languages or web services, preferably in one of the topics listed above. RESEARCH GRANT The research grant includes a two-way air ticket and health insurances. The fellowship is of 1800 EUR (net) per month for 12 consecutive months starting during the academic year 2005-2006. APPLICATIONS Applications must include a CV, a motivation letter, and three letters of recommendation. They should be addressed by March 1st 2005 to Prof. Paul THIRY Chairman of the FUNDP Research Council University of Namur 61 rue de Bruxelles B-5000 Namur Belgium Facsimile applications should be sent to number +32 81 724913. Electronic submissions should be emailed to patricia.lonnoy@fundp.ac.be.
