Background

Recent growth in the research activities and the well-established educational programs of the School of Information Technology (ITE) is enabling a significant expansion.

In 2018 the total research expenditures exceeded 70 MSEK and the school hosted over 850 students. Over the next two years, the School will grow significantly.

The KKS SafeSmart Synergy project - Safety of Connected Intelligent Vehicles in Smart Cities - aims at developing technical advances enabling automated driving in challenging urban scenarios. The advertised Ph.D. project is concerned with software testing and integration, where the different components (communication, localization, control) have to be validated and integrated into a safely functioning system with autonomous functions. To this end, Model-Based Testing (MBT) is to be applied to enable efficient testing of components in such a system at different stages if the life-cycle: development, integration, deployment, and also run-time. One of the main challenges is the unification of modelling and testing methods towards this hybrid scenario.
