At +Imperial, we have considerable expertise in specifying concurrent +libraries and verifying concurrent programs. In particular, our +recent work has focussed on the extension of concurrent separation +logic to handle abstraction, abstract atomicity and fault +tolerance. We have applied this reasoning to, for example, concurrent +indexes (B-trees and java.util.concurrent skip lists), the POSIX file +system and an ARIES database recovery algorithm. + +Our immediate research aims are to develop the fundamental principles +underlying reasoning about concurrent systems, to extend the reasoning +to distributed systems, and to test the reasoning on key applications +such as databases, file systems and data centres. + +Please see the project web page for more details, and do not +hesitate to contact us if you are interested in one of these postdoc +positions. + +</div> -- GitLab
