Post-doc position on Structural analysis of counterexamples A key issue in model checking is how to locate faults that caused property violation, when a lengthy counterexample is returned. Previous work done in collaboration with Airbus [Boc10] has addressed this issue in the framework of Scade or Simulink design models. The approach is based on a structural analysis that identifies paths of the model that are activated by a counterexample over time. This analysis allows the extraction of relevant information to explain the observed violation. It may also serve to guide the model checker toward the search for different counterexamples, exhibiting new path activation patterns and thus new ways to violate the property. The aim is to give engineers as much usable feedback as possible before a fix is attempted. The approach has been implemented in a tool called STANCE (Structural ANalysis of CounterExamples). It is closely related to path-based analysis techniques develope...

My name is Shaun Ono and I am a recent graduate from Ryerson's RTA School of Media. I have started a company that creates location-based mobile apps that utilize photo recognition to enhance the physical spaces of historic buildings. Our first client was the Mattamy Athletic Centre (former Maple Leaf Gardens), having created the Mattamy AC Interactive app. At this point, we are looking to work with a developer to help us build a template for a mobile app that we would be able to use in the future. We would need someone to help us build an app that would integrate a third party photo recognition software as well as gps mapping. We are also looking for someone who has experience in working with databases as there will be a number of videos that will live in the database that are attached to the trigger images. For any students who are interested please contact me at shauntono@gmail.com and we can discuss in-depth what we're looking for.
