Posted 4/11/06 Nokia Research Center Cambridge, Software Component Composition Project, Summer Intern - Posted 4/4/06 We are looking for a summer intern to work at Nokia Research Center Cambridge (in collaboration with MIT researchers) on a software component composition project. Combination of web services and other software components makes it possible to build rich new applications that integrate these components, going far beyond the original intent of any one component provider. Although our focus is mobile devices, these applications could run on a desktop computer or other platforms. The applications can be created by skilled programmers, or composed by end users. Today, software component integration is difficult. It is hard to discover components that are compatible with one another, and if incompatibilities exist, it is hard to know how to transform the data to make it compatible. Our goal is to simplify such programming, by automatically identifying how software components can be combined. Different aspects of the project can focus on different scenarios (computers vs. cell phones, programmers vs. end users, software libraries vs. web services). Programming experience in C++, Java or Python is required. If interested, send a resume, grade report, code and writing samples, and times you are available for an interview to Raimondas Lencevicius raimondas.lencevicius at nokia.com NRCC (http://research.nokia.com/locations/cambridge/index.html) is involved in a variety of mobile device and infrastructure research projects.

As part of the Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA), a team is developing techniques for the manufacture of polymer microfluidic devices. The aim of this internship will be to characterize a commercial tool which hot-embosses patterns, comprising features of diameters >100 nm, into a layer of the thermoplastic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Working in the clean-room at IBN, the first task will be to make a set of silicon stamps carrying test patterns designed at MIT. These stamps will be made using a well-understood plasma etching process. The stamps will then be mounted, in turn, in the embossing tool and used to pattern a series of substrates. We want to find out how the thickness of the polymer layer, the embossing temperature, pressure, and duration, and the design of the embossed pattern each determine the quality of the embossed parts. After embossing PMMA layers of differing thickness, we hope to use optical methods to investigate residual stresses in the components. The intern will spend about three months in Singapore (June - August), working with a research scientist there and keeping in touch regularly with colleagues at MIT. It would certainly be possible to begin work on the project before leaving for Singapore, and to pursue the research at MIT after returning. Previous clean-room experience, and possibly having taken 6.152J, would be an advantage, but is not necessary. Round-trip air travel from Boston and a living allowance will be provided.

Eng 2003; Wake Forest BS 2001, Harvard Law School JD 2008,) are seeking two talented programmers to join their team as cofounders and build a prototype website for an online social network with a unique twist. In terms of expectations, we imagine initially putting in 20 hrs/week over a 4-6 week period and then 5-10 hrs/week subsequently as we develop and refine the prototype. While this site has the potential to turn into something large, we do not expect this to be a full-time commitment during the development phase but rather something "on the side." To stimulate adoption of the network, we are considering both letting this network grow organically - think Craig's List - - and using outside funding depending on development progress and our future conversations with potential investors.

We are seeking up to four students to work with us on a variety of projects during the summer of 2006. Employment may optionally be extended into the academic year. We are seeking applicants with a variety of skills. These include experience with C, C#, Java, XML, XSLT, databases, Ruby on Rails, and web services. Sample projects include: * Develop a multi-tier demo application that shows the use of GSSAPI and http-spnego authentication with a web application that talks to a back end database. This will include demonstrating Kerberos authentication to an Oracle backend. This will require the student to carefully document the code and point out the security concerns. If time permits the student will also work on implementing constrained delegation to address some of the security concerns. * Create a proof of concept web interface to modify authorization definitions in the MIT Roles Database. The web application will provide authorized users the ability to add, delete, or modify authorization definitions. This may involve creating a web service interface to the Roles DB. * Set up automated testing between MIT Kerberos, Heimdal, Active Directory and other Kerberos implementations. Involves learning about automated installation of a variety of operating systems, building a reproducible test environment, and learning about how corporate authentication works. This is an excellent position for someone interested in software packaging or IT security. * Implement a feature in MIT Kerberos called encryption type negotiation that allows people to more easily retire DES and move to modern encryption. This will be a good introduction to practical uses of cryptography and security protocols but does not require in depth knowledge of how encryption works. This will probably involve learning about Windows Vista and software testing. This would be an excellent introduction for someone interested in writing computer security software. * Learn about real world software engineering, Kerberos and computer security by working to fix outstanding bugs in MIT Kerberos. Based on your skill level and interests you can learn about a variety of issues including OS portability, making software from different vendors work together, memory management, and making software easy to use. * Develop proof of concept OKI OSIDs and web service interfaces for some existing MIT services, examples include: - - Scheduling services that work with TechTime, the MIT Events Calendar, and Apple iCal. The MIT Events Calendar already exposes a web service. Oracle provides a java class interface to TechTime and iCal uses webdav. - - UserMessaging OSIDs and a web service interface that supports using XMPP, SMS and authenticated SMTP for transport independent notifications. - - Workflow OSID that demonstrates the use of the Windows Workflow Engine that will ship as part of Windows Vista. * Write XSLT to translate any XOSID spec to a sensible c# binding. This provides an automated method to create an OSID useable by C# programmers. This work will involve an ongoing dialog with people from Microsoft. * Implement Mozilla Extensions to support GUI configuration of GSS authentication in Firefox and Thunderbird. Support for the authentication already exists but configuration must be set manually via about:config or via a configuration file.
