About the Position
The selected fellow will be responsible for developing smart agriculture applications within an IoT computational continuum. This involves distributing processing across devices, edge, and cloud environments. Key tasks include creating a methodology to represent applications as a single code segment, enabling its division into microservices or nanoservices executable at various stages of the continuum. Additionally, the role requires implementing a compilation process and a DAG-based execution structure to facilitate deployable code generation.
Eligibility
- PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- Doctorate completed less than 7 years ago
- Knowledge of IoT, cloud, fog, edge, and computational continuum concepts
- Familiarity with programming language paradigms and compilation techniques
- Advanced programming skills
- Advanced English language skills
- Solid publication record
