PhD Position Performance Engineering for Service-Oriented Architectures SAP Research: SAP is the world's largest inter-enterprise software company and the world's third-largest independent software provider overall. SAP Research studies emerging IT trends and deploys new technologies in reallife environments to determine their potential business value for SAP. Research Centres are situated in several locations worldwide. Our Belfast (UK) Research Centre currently has PhD positions available in the area of performance engineering for service-oriented architectures in collaboration with the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Ulster.
PhD Program: The PhD program at SAP Research offers you a great chance to get industry experience in a real-life project, to work with top researchers, and to have the opportunity to develop your own research network. As SAP Research is a consortium member in various partly government funded projects, it forms an ideal platform for working on a doctoral thesis in conjunction with university partners. As a PhD candidate you will be employed by SAP on a 3 year contract during which time it is expected that you complete your submission of a PhD thesis. Salary will be similar to university-based PhD studentships and tuition fees will be paid by SAP. You will be based primarily at the SAP Research Centre in Belfast, participating in a SAP research project that is closely aligned to your PhD topic. You will also participate in the standard activities of full-time PhD students at the University of Ulster including attending supervisor meetings, seminars and other training workshops. Research Topic: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new paradigm for constructing complex software systems and promises much greater flexibility for composing tailored enterprise applications that satisfy specific customer needs and business strategies. However, the non-functional behaviour of such systems, such as performance, is not yet well understood. Collaborative research is being carried out between SAP Research in Belfast and the University of Ulster to derive more comprehensive performance and resource models for Service Oriented Architectures within SAP. Our vision is that these models will evolve over time and enable better decision-support during any phase of a software solution's lifecycle. The major research themes and potential PhD topics in this context include: * How to describe the performance and resource consumption characteristics of services/components in a complex service-oriented architecture. * How to capture the performance and resource consumption characteristics in an automated way and with minimal overhead on development teams. * How to derive benchmarking applications for SOA and describe resource requirements in a hardware independent way. * Identifies new methodologies and techniques for landscape management within a virtualized adaptive IT infrastructure Student Pre-requisites Potential PhD students will be expected to have a First Class honours degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science or a closely related discipline with a broad appreciation of the research topics described above. Candidates will also be expected to have very strong capabilities in self-organisation and the ability to work in an international team of researchers.
