[Infovis] Fwd: Research Assistant/Intern - Visualisations of Impact and Differences for Multi-version Dependency Data

[Tony Huang]

Research Assistant position:
Visualisations of Impact and Differences for Multi-version Dependency Data

Oracle Labs, Australia offers a six-month, full-time internship in the
Program Analysis group, starting within the June to November 2017 timeframe.

Frappe is a code-comprehension tool that helps developers understand and
navigate dependencies in their code. It allows the impact of code changes
to be determined by executing queries on a graph of code dependencies. The
current version of Frappe's UI displays a single version of code as a
visual representation of that code.

The aim of this project is to explore, design and develop extensions to the
Frappe UI to show impact and difference for multi-version dependency data.

Oracle Labs Australia is passionate about improving the quality of software
and the productivity of developers. We research and develop new techniques
in program analysis as it applies to a variety of domains, including
bug-checking, security analysis, cyber security, productivity tools,
testing, and more.

We are best known for our research on static-code analysis that led to
scalable and precise bug-checking algorithms embedded in the Oracle Parfait
tool.  For more information, visit http://labs.oracle.com/locatio

Oracle internships give students valuable industry experience and the
chance to work on cutting-edge research projects with real-world
applications. Students also have the chance to explore Brisbane and
discover its many treasures.
