Your mission : Research Group Despite recent technological advances both in the data management and in computer architecture domains, our ability to analyze data still falls behind the unstoppable data collection rates. Data-intensive applications are increasingly more demanding in sophisticated algorithms to store, manage, and interpret data. To meet the challenges, database software needs to communicate efficiently both with the application layer and with the underlying hardware platforms, and deliver seamless computational and data management support. Research in the DIAS lab addresses both aspects of the challenge: we adapt data management technology to computer architecture trends by designing data manipulation techniques that exploit optimally the underlying hardware and I/O devices, and we enable new discoveries in scientific domains through automating physical database design and revolutionizing exploration algorithms in very large data repositories. The DIAS lab...

Your mission : Despite 100’s of papers there is relatively little adoption of type systems expressing resources and effects in programming language. One reason for this is the high notational overhead that existing techniques impose. We are working on a new scheme that avoids the overhead. The idea is that we can use capabilities to model both resources and effects. To make this safe, we have developed a core calculus that tracks when a capability can be captured by a closure. We have obtained funding for a large scale research project that studies how we can build new type systems for modeling resources and effects on this idea. The project will run for 5 years and will employ a mix of PhD students, scientists, and engineers (7 positions overall). Your mission is to work with the other project members on type systems for resources and effects. The work ranges from formal calculi and their meta theory, type checking algorithms to concrete implementations as experimental...
