Position description
The VINNOVA-funded project “PROVIDENT: Predictable Software Development in Connected Vehicles Utilising Blended TSN-5G Networks” is announcing a PhD position in modeling and development of distributed embedded systems based on TSN-5G networks.
Modern vehicles in many segments of the vehicular domain need to communicate and collaborate to achieve a joint functionality in, e.g., an autonomous quarry, mine or a recycling site. To provide such functionality, these vehicles need to be equipped with high data-rate sensors (e.g., cameras and lidars). The large amount of data acquired from these sensors needs to be communicated within as well as among the vehicles with predictable low latencies. The recently introduced IEEE Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards and 5G communication offer promising solutions to address these requirements within and among the vehicles respectively. Alas, there is a lack of a holistic software development framework and execution environment for predictable vehicular systems that utilise blended TSN-5G communication. This lack hinders the vehicle industry from taking full advantage of these ground- breaking technologies.
The overall goal of PROVIDENT is to develop novel techniques to provide a full- fledged holistic software development environment for vehicular systems that utilise blended TSN- 5G communication. In this context, the PhD-student will focus on the challenges related to holistic modelling of software architectures, holistic timing predictability verification, and integration of network communication in vehicular systems that utilise a blend of TSN-5G networks. The student will work closely with the project team of about 15 members, including researchers from Mälardalen University and practitioners from the industrial partners. The student is also expected to work indepefndently.
Qualifications
Only those who are or have been admitted to third-cycle courses and study programmes at a higher education may be appointed to doctoral studentships. For futher information see Chapter 5 of the Higher Education Ordinance (SFS 1993:100).
To qualify as a PhD student, you should have a master’s level degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or equivalent. Prior knowledge about embedded systems, real-time systems, real-time networks, and modeling and timing analysis of these systems is considered a merit.

The strategic initiative High North Population Studies
The strategic initiative High North Population Studies will push the edge of research on new technologies for secure data collection, analysis and management in the context of large population studies. Novel technological development is therefore an important area in the initiative. The Technology work package shall therefore contribute to the other areas by researching and developing the needed new methods and systems for data collection, management, analysis, and interpretation for future population studies. The developed methods contribute to the work in the other work packages: Lifestyle and health, Social inequality in health, Child and adolescence health, Environmental poisons, and other data sources in the North.
The research project “Trusted Execution Environments for Secure Analytics on Sensitive Data”
Systems processing sensitive data are traditionally protected by access-control mechanisms that maps the identities of authenticated principals to set of permission on objects. The expressive of security policies are commonly static and restricted (e.g., read, write, and create files) with high-level semantic hardcoded into system services. Use-based privacy policies goes beyond these traditional security schemes by enabling data providers to specify allowable uses of data. To enforce such policies, we argue that client software that operates on the must be included in the security domain, so that privacy policies that are attached to data during storage and collection continue to apply also when data or derived data has been downloaded to clients.
This project will explore to what extend trusted execution environments can be used to enforce use-based privacy policies when data migrates between thrust domains. The goal is to devise a mechanism suitable to large-scale analytics on sensitive data in the medical and sport science domains.
