International Postdoctoral Fellows Program: Incremental Specialization

9423961 Lawall国际青年研究员和博士后研究员计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将支持Julia L. Lawall博士进行为期12个月的博士后研究访问，与法国雷恩大学/伊瑞萨大学的Charles Consel教授合作开发增量专业化系统。这次合作的法国方面已经与美国的一个小组合作，在便携式微内核操作系统的开发中使用增量专业化。微内核是建立在一个非常小的内核之上的模块系统。增量专门化将允许以这种方式构建的操作系统高效地执行，方法是将模块之间的交互专门化，以满足对操作系统的需求。美国小组专注于该项目的操作系统方面，而法国小组（现在将包括Lawall博士）则专注于增量专业化系统的开发。＊＊＊

9423961 Lawall The International Junior Investigator and Postdoctoral Fellows Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty-four months of research abroad. The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad. This award will support a twelve-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Julia L. Lawall to work with Professor Charles Consel of the University of Rennes/Irisa in France on the development of an incremental specialization system. The French side of this collaboration is already collaborating with a group in the U.S. on using incremental specialization in the development of portable micro-kernel operating system. Micro-kernel is a system built out of modules on top of a very small kernel. Incremental specialization would allow an operating system built in this manner to perform efficiently, by specializing the interactions between the modules to the demands placed on the operating system. The U.S. group is focusing on the operating systems aspects of the project, while the French group (which will now include Dr. Lawall) is focusing on the development of the incremental specialization systems. ***
