The FAPESP project “SMART: Sustainable Management of Agriculture with the Intelligent Computing Continuum” (bv.fapesp.br/en/auxilios/116446) has an open Post-Doctoral position to work at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC).
The research theme is “Smart Application Deployment for the IoT Computing Continuum”, dealing with the challenges of deploying smart agriculture applications over the IoT Computing Continuum (IoTinuum), considering the inherent distribution of the end-to-end path between devices and the cloud and the need for individual services to run in multiple stages in-between.
The general objective of this postdoc fellowship is to design and implement an application deployment methodology for the IoTinuum that takes as input a model (such as a directed acyclic graph) representing the application and generates a deployment strategy as output. The main challenges in this proposal involve:
- A Deployment Triggering strategy, which identifies the need for a new deployment to be executed over the IoTinuum
- A Deployment Biding strategy, which means that that abstract graph representing the application will be mapped to specific nodes (with IP addresses and ports) located in different stages of the continuum, such as Thing, Mist, Fog, or Cloud
- A Deployment Distribution and installation strategy for transferring services to where they will be executed (e.g., cloud or fog)
- A preliminary version of the application deployment methodology
A highly motivated candidate is expected to show background in the following concepts:
– IoT, cloud, fog, edge, and the computing continuum
– Application deployment and DevOps strategies
– Performance analysis with experimentation techniques
– Advanced programming language skills
– Advanced English language skills
– Strong publication record
The candidate must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related areas (less than 7 years since graduation). The fellowship’s duration is 30 months, and the monthly stipend is R$12.000,00 plus 10% for research expenses.
The term for this scholarship is expected to start as soon as possible, ideally in April 2025.
