As a doctoral student you will be conducting research in a larger project titled Time-Critical Clouds with researchers both from KTH Royal Institute of Technology and RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden). In this project, we seek to ensure latency bounds of key building blocks (e.g., geo-distributed key-value stores) that are used for important societal services (for example, Intelligent Transportation Systems). Your work will entail design, implementation, and evaluation of networked systems for time-critical cloud-based services and networks.
