> Research Program, at Department of Information Engineering 
> and Computer Science (DISI) of University of Trento. 
> 
> The research activity will aim at investigating and 
> developing novel techniques, methodologies and support tools 
> for Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) for the verification 
> of WORD-level circuit designs. 
> This work will be part of the "Word-Level Formal Verification 
> via SMT Solving" (WOLFLING) project, a three-year custom 
> research project supported by SRC/GRC 
> (http://grc.src.org/fr/S200802_Call.asp), in strict 
> collaboration with the Formal Verification Group at Intel, 
> Haifa, Israel. 
> 
> SMT tools will be developed on top of the MathSAT SMT 
> platform (http://mathsat4.disi.unitn.it), and Formal 
> Verification tools will be developed on top of the NuSMV 
> Model Checking platform (http://nusmv.fbk.eu).
> Both platforms are jointly developed and maintained by ES and SE&FM.
> 
> The selected candidate will be initially enrolled in a stage 
> and, if he/she passes the selection of the Ph.D. school, 
> he/she will be enrolled as Ph.D. students. Ph.D. courses will 
> start in Autumn 2010, and the thesis must be completed in 
> three or four years. People enrolled in a stage and 
> subsequent Ph.D. courses are expected to move to Trento, and 
> will receive monetary support during both phases of their activity.
> 
> Candidate Profile
> =================
> 
> The ideal candidate should have an MS or equivalent degree in 
> computer science, mathematics or electronic engineering, and 
> combine solid theoretical background and excellent software 
> development skills.
> 
> The candidate should be able to work in a collaborative 
> environment, with a strong commitment to reaching research 
> excellence and achieving assigned objectives.
> 
> Background knowledge and/or previous experience in the 
> following areas (in order of preference), though not strictly 
> mandatory, will be considered very favorably:
> - Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT)
> - Propositional Satisfiability (SAT)
> - Embedded Systems Design Languages (e.g. Verilog, VHDL)
> - Symbolic Model Checking
> - Automated Reasoning
> - Constraint Solving and Optimization
> 
> Applications and Inquiries

> The Embedded Systems Research Unit at FBK 
> =========================================
> 
> The Embedded Systems Unit consists of about 15 persons, 
> including researchers, post-Doc, Ph.D. students, and 
> programmers. The Unit carries out research, tool development 
> and technology transfer in the fields of design and 
> verification of embedded systems.
> 
> Current research directions include:
> 
> * Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to the
>   verification of hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid
>   systems (Verilog, SystemC, C/C++, StateFlow/Simulink).
> 
> * Formal Requirements Analysis based on techniques for temporal logics
>   (consistency checking, vacuity detection, input determinism,
>   cause-effect analysis, realizability and synthesis).
> 
> * Formal Safety Analysis, based on the integration of traditional
>   techniques (e.g. Fault-tree analysis, FMEA) with symbolic
>   verification techniques.
> 
> The Embedded Systems Unit is part of Fondazione Bruno 
> Kessler, formerly Istituto Trentino di Cultura, a public 
> research institute of the Autonomous Province of Trento 
> (Italy), founded in 1976. The institute, through its center 
> for the scientific and technological research, is active in 
> the areas of Information Technology, Microsystems, and 
> Physical Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces. Today, FBK is 
> an internationally recognized research institute, 
> collaborating with industries, universities, and public and 
> private laboratories in Italy and abroad. The institute's 
> applied and basic research activities aim at resolving 
> real-world problems, driven by the need for technological 
> innovation in society and industry.
> 
> The SW Engineering & Formal Methods Research Program at DISI 
> ============================================================
> 
> The SW Engineering & Formal Methods R. P. at DISI currently 
> consists on 5 faculties, 4 post-docs and 19 PhD students. The 
> Unit carries out research, tool development and technology 
> transfer in the fields of Goal-Oriented Requirements 
> Engineering, Agent-oriented SW engineering, Security, and 
> Formal Methods. 
> 
> Referring to formal methods, current research directions include:
> 
> * Satisfiability Modulo Theory, and its application to the
>   verification of hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid
>   systems.
> 
> * Advanced Model Checking Techniques for Formal Verification of
>   hardware, embedded critical software, and hybrid systems. 
> 
> * Applications of Propositional Satisfiability (SAT) to various
>   domains. 
>  
> The R.P. is part of the Department of Information Engineering 
> and Computer Science, DISI (http://disi.unitn.it/) of 
> University of Trento. 
> University of Trento in the latest years has always been 
> rated among the top-three small&medium-size universities in Italy.  
> DISI currently consists of 50 faculties, 68 research staff 
> and support people, 21 postdocs and 146 Doctoral students, 
> plus administrative and technical staff. DISI covers all the 
> different areas of information technology (computer science, 
> telecommunications, and electronics) and their applications. 
> These disciplines above are studied individually but also 
> with a strong focus on their integration, 
> 
> Location
> ========
> 
> Trento is a lively town of about 100.000 inhabitants, located 
> 130 km south of the border between Italy and Austria. It is 
> well known for the beauty of its mountains and lakes, and it 
> offers the possibility to practice a wide range of sports. 
> Trento enjoys a rich cultural and historical heritage, and it 
> is the ideal starting point for day trips to famous towns 
> such as Venice or Verona, as well as to enjoy great 
> naturalistic journeys. Detailed information about Trento and 
> its region can be found at 
> http://www.trentino.to/home/index.html?_lang=en.
