Secure Change: Security Engineering for lifelong Evolvable Systems”
(http://mcs.open.ac.uk/jj2924/securechange)
Department of Computing, The Open University (OU), UK
(http://www.computing.open.ac.uk)
Several three-year Postdoc and PhD positions are available
from 1st February 2009.
Salary range is up to GBP 33,780 per year (depending on
qualifications and experience), plus resources for conference travel
and equipment .
The positions are part of an Integrated Project on “Security
Engineering for lifelong Evolvable Systems (Secure Change)” funded by
the European Union, within the programme “Future and Emerging
Technologies” (FET) of the 7th Framework Programme (subject to contract).
The project will involve: University of Trento (Italy, coordinator),
the Open University (UK, research director), University of Innsbruck
(Austria), SINTEF (Norway), INRIA (France), KU Leuven (Belgium),
Budapest UTE (Hungary), Gemalto (France), Thales (France), Telefonica
R&D (Spain), Smartesting (France), and Deep Blue (Italy). The total
budget of the project is about 7 million EUR, with the OU’s share
being about 600,000 EUR.
There is growing demand to evolve systems continuously to meet
changing business needs, new regulations and policies, novel
technologies and computing infrastructures. Unfortunately, the pace
of required change affects developers’ ability to establish and
maintain desirable levels of quality of systems. Therefore, the aim
in this project is to develop techniques and tools that ensure
“lifelong” compliance to security, privacy and dependability
requirements of long-running evolving software systems. This is
challenging because these requirements are not necessarily preserved
by system evolution. The project will develop processes and tools
that support design techniques for evolution, testing, verification,
re-configuration and local analysis of evolving software. The project
will focus on mobile devices and homes, which offer both great
research challenges and long-term business opportunities. The results
will be continuously validated jointly with key industry players.
Each position will focus on one of the following two topics:
* Requirements engineering techniques for security requirements of
long-living evolvable systems; or
* Model-based security analysis techniques and tools for long-living
evolvable systems based on UML.
The Open University maintains a highly regarded research base at its
central headquarters in Milton Keynes (near London and within one
hour from Cambridge and Oxford). The Department of Computing is part
of the Centre for Research in Computing (http://crc.open.ac.uk). The
Software Engineering and Design group (SEAD -
http://computing-research.open.ac.uk/sead) in the Department has a
world class research record in security requirements and secure
software engineering; software architecture, design and evolution;
automated software engineering; and empirical studies of software
development.
The successful candidates will also be able to interact with other
relevant research projects, such as:
* Automated Verification of Security-Critical Software (VeriSec)
(Royal Society Industrial Fellowship with Microsoft Research Cambridge)
* Verifying Implementations of Security Protocols in C (funded by and
in cooperation with Microsoft Research Cambridge)

by EPSRC and in collaboration with Imperial College London and IBM.
* Security and Privacy for All (SP4A), an EPSRC-funded project for
improving public awareness of security and privacy, in cooperation
with Bletchley Park and the National Museum of Computing.
Applicants should have (or expect to have by the start of the project):
* In the case of a PhD position: a good Masters level or very good Bachelor
level degree (or equivalent) in Computing, Mathematics, or a related
discipline.
Experience or strong interest in Software Engineering, IT Security, or
Formal
Methods would be an advantage.
* In the case of a Postdoc position: a PhD in Computing or Mathematics,

IDRC Call for Proposals: Gender and Innovation
Deadline: 19 Dec 2008

Call for Proposals: Gender and Innovation
UNDERSTANDING THEIR MUTUAL INFLUENCE AND IMPACTS
The changing agency of women is one of the major mediators of economic
and social change, and its determination as well as consequences
closely relate to many of the central features of the development
process — Amartya Sen
The Innovation, Technology and Society (ITS) program of IDRC supports
research towards strengthening innovation capabilities and innovation
systems in developing countries. The actors in an innovation system,
the science and technology policy environment and the interface of
innovation systems with society are the three thematic focus areas of
ITS. For more information consult www.idrc.ca/its. Gender is an
important dimension in all of the thematic areas but there are visible
knowledge gaps pertaining to the influence and impacts of gender in
innovation systems and processes. We do know that women are present
in knowledge and skills- based enterprises but we know very little
about how they influence innovation processes leading to tangible
socio-economic outcomes. Similarly, the impacts of current innovation
systems on the lives of women are not well understood. If knowledge
is to be used as a strategic resource for economic growth and
productivity as recognized by the development community, women must be
provided with an enabling environment to be equal partners in the
national innovation systems
There is a rich source of literature on the fragile representation of
women in science and technology based institutions and enterprises and
is being addressed at various levels. Adequate representation of women
in S&T systems is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for
favourable socioeconomic outcomes. Moreover, the S&T system is a
component of the national system of innovation. Given that innovation
is a complex process, sometimes an S&T system is not even necessary
for innovation. There is evidence of innovation without S&T and a lot
of evidence of S&T without leading to innovation. An innovation system
encompasses the knowledge intensive interactions among the innovation
system actors to turn an idea into a process, product or service on
the market. It is from this broad perspective of innovation and
innovation systems that the gender dimension needs to be analysed.
Furthermore, from an inclusion and efficiency perspective, there is a
need to tap into under utilised skills and the social value of a
participatory innovation process.
This call aims to examine gender from a wider perspective of
innovation systems in developing countries. It will support research
towards understanding impediments to innovation processes being
influenced by women, opportunities to promote greater involvement and
influence by women and the differential impacts (real and perceived)
of existing innovation systems on women. Proposals are invited in the
form of concept notes following the template available at
www.idrc.ca/gender_and_innovation outlining the research under any of
the following two headings:
1. INVOLVEMENT AND INFLUENCE OF WOMEN IN INNOVATION PROCESSES The
access, participation and contribution by women to the innovation
processes in general is of interest here, including their role in the
transformation of knowledge or use of new knowledge for generating
goods and services. For example, ways in which women contribute to
social and economic value, policy analysis of gendered access and
participation and organisational paradigms within innovation system
actors, gender influence on business enterprises are an indication of
ideas under this heading. Proposals may focus on the inclusivity of
women in decision making processes and governance of technologies,
particularly in regard to technologies impacting women. Proposals
could also address these or other questions:
o In what ways will greater engagement of women in a
specific context of innovation contribute to economic / social value?
o Will higher enrolment of women in technical education and
employment fill the gender gap in innovation?
o What are the key / distinct features of
technology-business entrepreneurship for and by women
o How does the agency of women in business enterprises
manifest itself in the innovation process?
o What socio-economic profiles of women enable their
influence on technology governance and policy process
o Does a higher gender balance trigger more innovation and
if so what are the impacts of this higher balance on innovation?
2. IMPACTS OF (SPECIFIC) INNOVATION SYSTEMS ON WOMEN – Social
engagement of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policy and
governance in developing countries tend to be limited and a primary
reason for this is lack of adequate evidence and research on potential
and real socio economic impacts of STI policy or decisions of
innovation system actors. Research under this theme will consider
impacts (potential and real) of specific technologies (such as
reproductive technologies, domestic fuel or food processing
technologies) on women and their socio-cultural transformation caused
by these technologies. Research under this theme could address these
or other questions:
o Guiding principles (from a research based study) for an
engendered approach to technology regulation and policy
o In what ways do current technologies for water and
sanitation impact women?
o Are there gender biases in the diffusion and / or impacts
of specific technologies, such as biotechnology, nanotechnology and ICTs?
o What are the opportunities for policy harmonisation to
enable women to contribute to innovation processes?
o Does the knowledge economy and technological development
promote greater knowledge and skills development of women?
Terminology
Innovation: Innovation is defined as the use of new ideas,
technologies or ways of doing things, in a place (or by people) where
they have not been used before.
The concept of the innovation system stresses that the flow of
technology and information among people, enterprises and institutions
is key to an innovative process. It contains the interaction between
the actors who are needed in order to turn an idea into a process,
product or service on the market.
Gender for the purpose of this call refers to women in the context
of their representation in the research data

research in a wide range of areas. Most of the research takes place
within the Tinbergen Institute in economics (http://www.tinbergen.nl)
and the Erasmus Research Institute of Management (ERIM;
http://www.erim.eur.nl/ERIM).
Title of the Project. Risk and Rationality: Using Empirical Findings
from Prospect Theory to Improve Rational Decisions in Health and Other
Fields.
Description. Prospect theory, the model for decision under risk
introduced by Kahneman & Tversky (1979), is immensely popular in many
fields. Its importance was recognized through the 2002 Nobel prize in
economics. Their paper is the 2nd most cited paper published in any
economic journal (see Table A.10 on p. 88 at
http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~tcoupe/updaterevealedperformances.pdf).
Prospect theory assumes that, besides (i) rational factors based on
utility and additive probabilities that are studied in classical
approaches, other factors play a role. Such factors are (ii) people’s
sensitivity towards (lack of) information, modeled through subjective
probabilities that may be nonadditive, and (iii) loss aversion-the
special sensitivity of people towards losses. These factors shed, for
instance, new light on the irrational reactions of people to financial
risks and on the damages that can result from such irrationalities.
Remarkably, only few theoretical results have been developed for
prospect theory, and empirical tests have so far been based on ad hoc
interpretations. This project will develop both theoretical foundations
and critical empirical tests for risk and for ambiguity (unknown
probabilities). It applies its findings primarily to the health domain,
and further to insurance, experimental economics, finance, psychological
judgment and decision making, and/or other areas, depending on the
candidate’s background and interests.
Requirements. The desired candidates have a Master’s degree in a
quantitative discipline. Knowledge of mathematics, health economics,
game theory, statistics, econometric analyses, psychological judgment
and decision, and/or programming skills are a plus.
Conditions. We search for two candidates. The positions will be for a
maximum of four years. The gross monthly salary will be minimally € 2000
in the first year, increasing to € 2,558 in the fourth year. There will
also be an 8% holiday allowance.
Applications. Please email applications, including a cover letter
(explanaining why you and this position fit together), and a CV, to
Peter Wakker (Wakker [at] few.eur.nl) as soon as possible. In the case
of future rounds we will ask for letters of recommendation.
Further Information can be obtained from either of the two supervisors,
namely
Professor Peter Wakker (http://people.few.eur.nl/wakker/index.html) and
Professor Han Bleichrodt (http://people.few.eur.nl/bleichrodt).
Application has to be received by 31. January 2009.
