It is a chance like no other to break new ground as we head into the future of electrification, automation, and digitalization. Seize this opportunity today! Change the future with us. Future factory IT/OT applications are agile, smart, reconfigurable, modular, and flexible. Strict hierarchies in system architectures are dissolved by everchanging demands of applications, and the continuous integration of new heterogeneous systems. One of the major technical enablers to address the paradigm change in system topologies is the middleware with the loose coupling and data-centric communication of all connected components. In addition, wireless networks and system mobility bring further major challenges to industrial distributed system architectures. In this research work, you will: Research the demands and requirements for data-centric communication in wireless networks like 5G / 6G for industrial use cases Research and develop new concepts, mechanisms, architectures to achieve E2E QoS/QoE in data-centric application designs and middleware technologies Examine new approaches to optimize programmability of E2E QoS/QoE communication in distributed / decentralized applications Build a testbed to bring your ideas and new approaches to life Your research will be carried out in the context of international research projects with academic and business partners of Siemens. Beyond this we will support you to publish your work, to visit international conferences, to do academic stays at partner institutions, and to develop the ideas you have for the future of industrial systems.
