Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please forward this announcement to potentially interested candidates.

The Software Composition Group of the University of Berne carries out
research in various aspects of software component technology.

We have a number of open positions for PhD students or postdocs to carry
out research on component technology for embedded systems.  The work will
be funded by a new IST research project, "PECOS: Pervasive Component
Systems" within the European Community's Fifth Framework Programme.  The
research topics include:

- migration strategies towards component technology
- specifying and validating non-functional properties of software components
- component repositories
- visual composition and monitoring tools

Interested candidates should contact: Oscar.Nierstrasz at iam.unibe.ch

Kind regards,
Oscar Nierstrasz
