A propos du centre ou de la direction fonctionnelle
The Inria Saclay-Île-de-France Research Centre was established in 2008. It has developed as part of the Saclay site in partnership with Paris-Saclay University and with the Institut Polytechnique de Paris .
The centre has 40 project teams , 32 of which operate jointly with Paris-Saclay University and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris; Its activities occupy over 600 people, scientists and research and innovation support staff, including 44 different nationalities.
Contexte et atouts du poste
This job is proposed in the context of the Décysif project
(https://decysif.fr/), a collaborative project aiming at applying
formal methods to the development of high-assurance software that are
critical for safety and security. This project gathers the Inria
project-team Toccata (https://toccata.gitlabpages.inria.fr/toccata/)
and industrial partners located in Paris: TrustInSoft, AdaCore and
OCamlPro. The general objective is to contribute to the activities of
formal verification performed by these partners, those conducted
around the verification of programs in Ada, C, C++ and Rust, with
techniques using the proof tools developed by the Toccata team, in
particular Why3.
The work will be carried out mainly in the Toccata team location in
Gif-sur-Yvette and partly in the partner company offices in
Paris. Travel expenses are covered within the limits of the scale in
force.
Mission confiée
In direct collaboration with the research scientists at
Toccata and with the research engineers at the industrial partners,
the person recruited will have to work on the maturation of the
Creusot prototype (https://github.com/xldenis/creusot) dedicated to
formal verification of Rust programs. This prototype comes from a
doctoral thesis and must be improved to be able to be applied to
industrial case studies. The objectives concern, among other things,
the extension of the supported Rust fragment, the need to complete
specifications of Rust libraries, the improvement of the usability of
the graphical user interface, the increase of the rate of proof
automation, to set up methods to help proof (such as the generation of
counterexamples in case of proof failure), to strengthen the
robustness and reproducibility of proofs.
Principales activités
Software development in Rust and OCaml, development of
library specifications in Why3 and Rust, use of
external SMT solvers, software experimentation, writing
documentation, contribution to the writing of scientific articles.
Compétences
We seek for candidates with as much experience and skills as possible
in several domains among : development using the OCaml language ;
development using the Rust language ; techniques for evaluation,
compilation and/or transformation of programs ; formal methods for
software engineering ; formal logics ; static analysis of programs ;
computer-assisted theorem proving ; use of formal proof environments.
A level of English at least in writing is required. In oral English or
French must be sufficiently mastered.
