Postdoctoral Position in Computer Science Royal Institute of Technology
Postdoctoral Position in Computer Science Project descriptionEmbedded systems are at the heart of the ongoing digitalisation that transforms all areas of society. Consequently, their complexity is steadily rising. Many of these systems are safety-critical by nature and subject to various timing constraints that need to be met at runtime, requiring formal evidence of correctness. One important type of timing constraint is the end-to-end latency constraint, which describes the time it can take for data to propagate through a chain of communicating tasks. The research project in which the PhD student will work aims to develop design and formal timing analysis techniques for real-time applications that are subject to different end-to-end latency constraints. The end-to-end latency is influenced by the application's workload, the implemented communication paradigm and the scheduling algorithm. Of particular interest are applications that are comprised of several, possibly interconnected, task chains. The project will develop design and analysis techniques for such applications that can already be used early in the design process. This can, for example, be a transformation of task properties such that end-to-end latency constraints are always met. The project will also demonstrate that the resulting systems can be efficiently scheduled at runtime.

Target degree: Doctoral degree Information regarding admission and employmentOnly those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
