summer internships at IBM

["Thomas Reps" <reps@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Students interested in summer jobs in programming languages and software
engineering at Watson (NY area)  should send a resume to
VTRajan@xxxxxxxxxxx  The general IBM Research summer job site is:

The Software Technology department at IBM's T.J. Watson Research center is
looking for smart, energetic and resourceful graduate students (Ph.D. or
advanced master's candidates) to join a variety of projects in the
department as 2002 summer interns.  We do research in a number of areas,
all centered on making program development and maintenance more productive,
and making the software produced more efficient, more manageable, and less
failure-prone at runtime.

Among the topics we pursue are:

      tools and techniques for software architecture design, management,
      and implementation
      program understanding, debugging, perfomance tuning, and testing
      tools
      processes, management techniques, and metrics for software
      development
      dynamic and adaptive code optimization
      software composition techniques and languages
      algorithms for program analysis and verification
      tools and techniques for optimization, understanding, and monitoring
      of complex heterogeneous software systems
      software configuration management systems
      programming language design, particularly for distributed- or
      component-based systems
      XML processing and programming
      software design patterns
      formalisms and tools and for modeling and implementing business
      applications
      software verification tools
      programming support for web services and grid computing

We are especially interested in developing better software tools,
programming techniques, and optimization technologies for distributed,
internet-based, and heterogeneous systems; for long-running systems
software; and for software that makes extensive use of middleware or
libraries.

Internship openings will be available in most of the areas listed above.
The best internship candidates will have a strong computer science or
mathematics background, excellent implementation skills, and research
interests that mesh well with one or more of the topics listed above.
