Multiple PhD positions in the European Training Network for Fog 
Computing for Robotics and Industrial Automation (FORA)

15 full-time PhD positions are available at 7 partners in Sweden, 
Denmark, Germany and Austria in the European Training Network FORA-Fog 
Computing for Robotics and Industrial Automation.

The partners in the project are:

Technical University of Denmark (DTU),
Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien),
Mälardalen University (MDH),
Technical University of Kaiserslautern (TUKL),
TTTech,
SYSGO and
ABB.

The project also has the following associated partners, where the PhD 
students can do research visits:

Danfoss Power Electronics (DANFOSS),
Danish Technological Institute (DTI),
UNIBAP,
Volvo Construction Equipment,
CISCO and
NEBBIOLO.

FORA starts Oct. 1st, 2017.

We are at the beginning of a new industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, 
which will only become a reality through the convergence of Operational 
and Information Technologies (OT & IT), and this convergence will be 
achieved through Fog Computing.

We are looking for PhD students to perform research on: a reference 
system architecture for Fog Computing; resource management mechanisms 
and middleware for deploying mixed-criticality applications in the Fog; 
safety and security assurance; service-oriented application modeling and 
real-time machine learning.

FORA is an interdisciplinary, international, intersectoral network that 
will train the next generation of researchers in Fog Computing with 
applicability to industrial automation.

FORA’s researchers will receive integrated training across key areas 
(computer science and engineering, control engineering and industrial 
automation, data science) necessary to fully realize the potential of 
Fog Computing for Industry 4.0 and will move between academic and 
industrial environments to promote interdisciplinary and intersectoral 
learning.

Please visit the FORA website http://www.fora-etn.eu to learn more about 
these positions and to apply.

Application deadline: Dec. 31 st , 2017

Earliest start date: Oct. 1 st , 2017

Latest start date: April 1 st , 2018
