The work will involve research in the application of atomic action based techniques to the construction of robust distributed programs (some buzzwords are: RPCs, robust objects, commit protocols, concurrency control for objects, backward error recovery etc.). Strong emphasis will be placed on experimental work over Unix based systems (4.2 on Sun, Vaxen ....) The appointments will be for the duration of three years, on the standard IA salary scale: 7520- 12150 Pounds/year according to age qualifications and experience.
