Post-doc position: Fog/Edge computing in IoT (with application to Industry 4.0)

The expected amount of data generated by pervasive devices in IoT environments calls for fog/edge computing approaches where data management and analysis is carried out at the edge of the network. One post-doc position is open in this area, and on the application of fog/edge computing to Industry 4.0 systems, the emerging paradigm for the Factories of the Future. Industry 4.0 systems are expected to revolutionise the entire manufacturing process. They will be entirely data-driven, thanks to tight integration with IoT and data analytics tools. Data will be dynamically generated, analysed on the fly, and shared across the various actors and enterprises in the production value chains and between producers and consumers. Successful candidates will be supervised by Dr. Andrea Passarella, and the activities will be carried out in the H2020 FoF AUTOWARE European Project, expected to start in September 2016. The post-doc will work on these topics (in the framework of AUTOWARE) (i) fog computing solutions applied to industry 4.0 environments; (ii) design of data management and analysis on mobile edge networks; (iii) optimisation of data management and communication in industry 4.0 environments. Both protocol design/evaluation and theoretical approaches are expected to be applied. Company: IIT-CNR Qualifications: Ideal candidates should have or about to obtain a Phd in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or closely related disciplines, and a proven track record of publications in relevant top-tier conferences and journals. Preferably, the topic of the PhD should have been in one of the relevant research areas (IoT, mobile networking and computing, cloud computing, BigData management and analysis). Good written and spoken communication skills in English are required. Educational level: Ph. D. Tagged as: Data Mining , Industry , Italy , Ph. D. J-18808-Ljbffr
