The Programme

The Monash University Centre for Distributed Systems and Software Engineering entertains a vibrant Visiting Scholars Programme. Over the past years we have hosted a number of visiting scholars. Visits ranged from a brief stay in connection with a conference in Melbourne or Sydney, through several days of work visits to extended sabbatical visits.

The typical visiting scholar will already be in contact with one of our projects or seek contact with a specific project. The application process is informal. Depending on our interest in your visit, requested and available funds, we may support the visit.

Past sabbatical visits ranged from several weeks or months to a full year. We prefer if you bring your own funding and we then provide office and workstation. Some visiting scholars require us to provide accomodation and/or support for living. In some cases we cover or contribute to travel expenses.

Depending on the cost to us, the visit has to be funded in part or most from (a combination of) project grants. In such a case the work has to fit with a project and meet project objectives.

Application

The application is informal - email is sufficient. It should address/include the following:

Resumee Proposed start and duration of visit Sponsor name, i.e., a centre member typically the leader of a project interested in your visit Proposal title and abstract, indicative for the research work you will be doing while at the Centre Requested support, i.e., estimated costs to us, such as workspace, workstations, stipend covering accomodation or living, any other costs Required help with accomodation Email your application to the DSSE Director or to your contact, who will forward it with a sponsor statement.

Currently the application process is open and continuous. That is, there is no particular deadline for applications. The evaluation can take some time, for instance if your sponsor is traveling, or if we engage in a dialogue with the applicant to acquire further relevant information. Applicants should therefore allow for an appropriate lead time, especially if they need a visa.

Once the application is evaluated and a decision is made in principle, we contact the applicant with a final summary and ask for confirmation before a we initiate a formal offer sent by our Human Resources division.

Mr Anders Moller Feb 2005 - Jul 2005 PhD? Student Industry PhD? Student from Mälardalen University. Anders has been exploring ideas and methods for run-time monitoring of software components. Monitoring can be used to measure extra-functional properties like memory usage, execution times and interaction patterns for components. The metrics from monitoring can primary be used to annotate component models with measured properties or to perform contract checking and fault detection/confinement. In Prof. Schmidt's group Anders worked with researchers interested in modelling and analysis of extra-functional properties.
