We will be offering a PhD student position in the research area of “Autonomous 
Systems Analysis and Synthesis” at Mälardalen University – MDH, Sweden.
Research Group: Cyber-Physical Systems Analysis
Contact: Prof. Marjan Sirjani 
([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>)

The research subject fits within the project “Dependable Platforms for 
Autonomous Systems and Control (DPAC)” at MDH (http://www.es.mdh.se/dpac/), and 
will be done within the Embedded Systems Research Center 
(http://www.es.mdh.se/).

Project Description:
In this project the student will develop theories, techniques and tools for 
efficient formal verification, performance evaluation and synthesis of 
autonomous cyber-physical systems. The modeling and analysis approach will be 
actor-based. Real-time constraints and dynamic system evolution will be 
considered. See relative publications at 
http://www.rebeca-lang.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/Rebeca/Publications

As research outcome we expect publications, and (prototype) tools.
