Then, relying on the definition of an executable DSML, the tool should also provide a dedicated interface to control and animate the simulation of the domain-specific models and to capture and analyze temporal properties automatically. The platform will be validated on industrial use cases.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Context</i></div><div><br></div><div>This position on software language engineering is part of a more general investigation about the use of multiple modeling languages to support coordinated development of diverse aspects of a system. In particular, our research group currently coordinates the ANR project GEMOC (<a href="http://gemoc.org/ins">http://gemoc.org/ins</a>), which focuses on the definition of a language workbench for heterogeneous modeling and analysis of complex software-intensive systems. </div><div><br></div><div>The project GEMOC includes various academic and industrial partners (Inria, I3S IRIT, ENSTA, Thales and Obeo), and has the ambition to propose an innovative environment for the design of complex software-intensive systems by providing (i) a formal framework that integrates state-of-the-art MDE (Model Driven Engineering) and MoCC (Model of Computation and Communication) to reason over the composition of heterogeneous concerns; (ii) an open-source design and modeling environment associated to a well-defined method for the definition of DSMLs, MoCCs and rigorous composition of all concerns for simulation purposes. </div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://people.irisa.fr/Benoit.Combemale/postdoc-sle-dga/"><b>PostDoc Position #2: Domain-Specific Language Workbench</b></a></div><div><br></div><div>Keywords: Software Engineering, Software Language Engineering, Language Design and Implementation, Domain-Specific Language, Meta-language, Model analysis.</div><div>Duration: 24 months</div><div><br></div><div><i>Description</i></div><div><br></div><div>The candidate to the postdoctoral position will join the INRIA's DiverSE team, working together with faculty members, PhD students, and software engineers.</div><div>The candidate will investigate domain-specific meta-languages for engineering families of domain-specific languages (DSLs).
