centers nationwide related to these and other software projects in
support of the formation of NASA-wide software IV&V policies,
guidelines, and standards.
  Researchers are needed in the following areas of software engineering
metrics, safety & criticality, process, V&V, testing, OT&E,
requirements engineering, and formal methods.  Applicants are expected
to hold the Ph.D. degree in computer science or a closely related
field with some experience in one or more of these areas.
  The IV&V Facility is located in Fairmont, West Virginia just 1.5
hours south of Pittsburgh on Interstate 79.  It is 12 miles south of
West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV.  The Facility is a new,
state-of-the-art building with over 50,000 sq. feet of space,
redundant UPS, LAN, and T3 level WAN Internet connectivity.  The
building houses NASA, WVU, and contract personnel including NASA's
Remote Sensing Archive Center project (RSPAC) that will provide public
access to NASA earth and space science data via the Internet.
