Lay the Foundation
for the Next Generation
of Open Systems Software

Open Software Foundation Research Institute
Grenoble, France
The OSF Research Insitute is laying the foundations for OSF/2, the
next generation of open system kernel. Working directly with the
Mach, Amoeba, Chorus, and other groups, we study, evaluate, and extend
research prototypes for micro-kernel operating system architectures.
Our work will create the core of OSF's operating system for the
mid-1990's.
We seek an international, diverse, and highly-qualified staff. Our
state-of-the-art work environment includes high-performance personal
workstations networked with leading-edge multiprocessor hardware. Our
working language is English.
** Research Engineers (Operating Systems) **
Your innovations will be the foundation for multiprocessor distributed
operating systems for the 1990's. You will explore this technology as
part of a very strong team, evaluating existing prototypes, measuring
them, improving them, and combining them to create the next generation
of operating systems. Your evaluation strategy may include experi-
mentation with higher-level software platforms (data base, object
management, multi-media, ...). You will influence OSF's vision of the
future and participate actively in the research community by speaking
and publishing.
Extensive experience in one of these areas: advanced operating system
design or implementation, distributed computing, performance
measurement, object-oriented language design. Knowledge of Mach,
Amoeba, or Chorus highly desirable. Strong experience in software
research and development.

More on OSF
Our parent organisation in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Open Software
Foundation (OSF), is a member-sponsored organisation aimed at bringing
global acceptance to a single standard for open software. OSF has a
significant funding commitment from the leaders in the industry: Bull,
Digital, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, IBM, Nixdorf, Philips, Siemens; and
is supported by over two hundred member companies. The Motif user
interface, OSF's first offering, is quickly becoming a de facto
standard in the industry. The OSF Research Institute has offices in
Cambridge, Massachusetts and in Grenoble. The Grenoble office will
grow to a staff of 30 over the next two years.
Besides its kernel work, OSF Grenoble also supports experimentation
with the full range of OSF offerings in academia and in research
organizations.
... and on Grenoble
Grenoble is a city of 400,000 set in a river valley and surrounded by
the Alps. Our offices are situated next to the (large) university
campus and are easily accessible from the center of town or from the
suburbs (we are right off the highway). Lyon is one hour away, Geneva
two hours, and Turin (Italy) three hours. The Mediterranean coast is
not far, and Paris is three and a half hours by TGV ("the fastest
passenger train in the world"). Favorite outdoor sports are skiing,
climbing, and hiking; there are many indoor sports facilities as well.
