Uppsala University PhD position Sweden
March 17, 2008PhD position
at the Department of Information Technology, Division of Computer Systems
Design tools for multiprocessor embedded systems.
Topics include memory-usage estimation and timing analysis of multi-threaded embedded software on multi-core processors. Future generations of embedded systems will run multi-tasking software on multi-processor platforms for low energy-consumption and high performance. In such systems, software tasks may share not only processor cores but also caches and memory blocks, and the bandwidth for access to the memory hiearchies.
This project is to study the complex interplay between multi-threaded software and multi-processing units in hardware. One of the goals is to develop abstract models to faithfully capture the behaviours of hardware resources, multi-thread tasks, mechanisms for resource management and their interactions. Such models will be used to estimate memory-usage and worst-case response times of individual tasks.
The starting points of the project will be UPPAAL and TIMES developed at our department for timing analysis based on model-checking, and classic analytic techniques such as RMA for schedulability analysis based on worst-case scenarios. One possible outcome is to combine these techniques with model checking to achieve more precise and scalable analysis.
The successful candidate should have a master of science inComputer Science or equivalent. Good skills in oral and written English are required. The PhD position is for a maximum of five years and includes departmental duties at a level of at most 20% (typically teaching). Further information: http://www.teknat.uu.se and http://www.it.uu.se.
The department is striving to achieve a more equal gender balance and female candidates are particularly invited to apply.
Applications should include a brief description of research interest and past experience, a CV, copies of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of your Master thesis (or a draft thereof) and other relevant documents. The candidates are encouraged to provide letter(s) of recommendation and contact information to reference persons.

I have completed MSC in microbiology and I am highly interested to pursue my PhD in microbiology in germany, italy, france switzerland or austria so can you suggest me the right way for getting it.
I’m an applicant from Iran,seeking for phD program in microbiology or related feilds.I graduated in microbiology with GPA* 18:80
your KIND attention and response will be highly appreciated
my name is Abbas. i am studing in m.phil physics. my interest is in electronics. would you like to help me in finding free scholarships for phd in sweeden or other countries.
Thank you.
dear sir/madam:
My name is Mehdi and I am coming from Iran,I just finished my master in computer science-MSC(IS)- in India,I got first divison with distinction.
I am looking for a whole scholarship for PHD in different universities.
