PhD on Event-based Communication Algorithms for Knowledge Transfer with Distributed Digital Twins

**Faculteit/Dienst**:Faculteit der Natuurw., Wiskunde & Informatica**Opleidingsniveau**:Master**Functie type**:Promotieplaats**Sluitingsdatum**:11 juni 2024**Vacaturenummer**:12978-
- Critical infrastructures, such as wastewater treatment ecosystems, employ digital twins to monitor and control their facilities. In such complex infrastructures, many separately-controlled systems are participating as interdependent autonomous entities. In order to create a better holistic digital representation of the environment, we need to ensure that effective knowledge transfer is taking place between such autonomous entities. Knowledge transfer mechanisms should take into account that these entities have different authorization levels, different levels of environment representation, different target interests, yet ultimately affect the same ecosystem. You will need to define a logical representation of the environment and its events, create a distributed partial knowledge system, define an efficient event-based communication mechanism, develop a real-time communication framework for distributed DTs, and evaluate it in a real use-case scenario.-
- PhD project is a part of the “Intelligent Wastewater Treatment: Distributed Digital Twin for Clean Water (DDTclean)” project, funded by the NWO Merian Fund. The main use-case in this project is the distributed DT of an intelligent wastewater treatment ecosystem, which has many independently-working units.**What are you going to do?**
- Your tasks and responsibilities:
- perform novel research in the area of event-based communication algorithms for digital twins, defining formal models, engineering respective software frameworks, scientifically testing and evaluating your approach;
- establish collaborations with other project partners and beyond, integrating your results into complex systems where possible;
- publish and present your work in journals and international conferences;
- be an active part of the Informatics Institute, in particular, Intelligent Data Engineering (INDElab) and Complex Cyber Infrastructures (CCI) groups, and their activities;
- assist in educational activities and supervision of bachelor and master students;
- complete and defend a PhD thesis within the official appointment duration of four years.
- Your daily supervisor will be Dr. Victoria Degeler.**What do you have to offer?**
- demonstrated interest in AI reasoning systems, knowledge representation, context-aware pervasive computing, machine learning and data analysis, software engineering;
- good programming skills;
- high motivation in pursuing academic research;
- fluency in English, both written and spoken.

**Our offer**
- A temporary contract for 38 hours per week for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). The preferred starting date is as soon possible. This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students.-
- Besides the salary and a vibrant and challenging environment at Science Park, we offer you multiple fringe benefits:
- 232 holiday hours per year (based on fulltime) and extra holidays between Christmas and 1 January;
- Multiple courses to follow from our Teaching and Learning Centre;
- A complete educational program for PhD students;
- Multiple courses on topics such as leadership for academic staff;
- Multiple courses on topics such as time management, handling stress and an online learning platform with 100+ different courses;
- 7 weeks birth leave (partner leave) with 100% salary;
- Partly paid parental leave;
- The possibility to set up a workplace at home;
- A pension at ABP for which UvA pays two third part of the contribution;
- The possibility to follow courses to learn Dutch;
- Help with housing for a studio or small apartment when you’re moving from abroad.

**About us**- The Faculty of Science (FNWI) has a student body of around 8,000, as well as 1,800 members of staff working in education, research or support services. Researchers and students at the Faculty of Science are fascinated by every aspect of how the world works, be it elementary particles, the birth of the universe or the functioning of the brain.- The mission of the Informatics Institute (IvI) is to perform curiosity-driven and use-inspired fundamental research in Computer Science. The main research themes are Artificial Intelligence, Computational Science and Systems and Network Engineering. Our research involves complex information systems at large, with a focus on collaborative, data driven, computational and intelligent systems, all with a strong interactive component.- The position is affiliated with two group
