Subject: Studentship

		     Research Studentship in the
		    Measurement of Formal Methods

The Software Measurement Laboratory is offering a Research Studentship
to begin in 1994.  The successful applicant will be expected to pursue
a higher degree in the general area of the measurement of the
effectiveness of formal methods in the production of computer
software.

Prospective students should hold a good honours degree in an
appropriate subject, or an equivalent; relevant specialised knowledge
and experience will be advantageous.  Applications may be made
initially by submitting to the laboratory a full curriculum vitae and
three references either by mail or by email (preferred, but ASCII
only); applications should arrive by noon on 18th April 1994.  Also it
will be necessary to complete university application forms; the
studentship identification is MAT5.  Informal enquiries may be made by
contacting David Outteridge, email is preferred if feasible.

The Software Measurement Laboratory (SML) is part of the Department of
Mathematics at Glasgow Caledonian University and has as its primary
aim the improvement of the quality of industrial software.  SML is
concerned with various metrics of both the process of software
production and the product.  These metrics are designed to quantify
attributes such as reliability, maintainability, and productivity.
SML works closely with industry and national and European research
organisations, and has a record of successful project results.  SML
depends on external funding.

SML is growing in a number of domains.  Staff have been recruited; the
customer base is expanding; and an MSc course emphasising and teaching
the work of the laboratory is anticipated for 1995.  New projects
include research activities in Machine Learning and the application of
Formal Methods to industrial design.

Information on the University, application forms, and other
information, can be obtained from:
