PhD Scholarship in Model Checking for Dependable Software-Based Systems, Australia.

Job Description:

This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage-Projects grant at UQ and will provide support for 3 years on a full-time basis for a research project leading to a PhD.

The objective of the research project is to find effective ways of applying model checking to large-scale systems, to improve understanding of system requirements, and to improve specification and testing of software-based components of the systems.

The project is a key part of a larger collaboration with Griffith University, Raytheon Australia and KJ Ross & Associates, to develop improved methods for building and testing large-scale dependable systems and Systems of Systems.

The value of this scholarship is $AU 26,669 (per annum).

See the Dependable Computer-based Complex Systems web pages for background information. The PhD project will provide analytical support for the Behavior Trees methodology. It will be a mixture of theory and application to large case studies supplied by the industry partners, and is likely to involve some tool development. It is based at the beautiful St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
