Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Research cutting-edge Data Space technologies to address real technological challenges.
Carry out the thesis in an environment close to real projects where you can put your research into practice.
Collaborate closely with specialized AI and cloud teams that cover the entire data lifecycle.
Collaborate and participate in multidisciplinary research groups.
Work in a young environment with many social activities.

Requirements

What we're looking for

Degree in Computer Engineering/Telecommunications or similar.
Master's in Computer Science, Big Data, or similar.
Knowledge of Data Spaces.
Knowledge of orchestrator technologies such as Kubernetes.
Knowledge of Cloud technologies for data ingestion, processing, and storage.
Proficiency in spoken and written English.

The role

The objective of this thesis is to investigate and design an innovative architecture that allows for real-time data sharing between organizations in an agile, secure manner and with clear rules of use. You will face the challenge of connecting IoT, Cloud, and Big Data systems so they can understand each other, negotiate conditions, and function as a whole, under the principles of the ISO/IEC 20151 standard. Analyze how to incorporate service provisioning within this architecture.

We live in an era where data is everything. Companies want to digitalize and collaborate, but also protect their information and control how their data is used. This landscape offers a favorable environment to develop research work that proposes new architectures and protocols capable of providing interoperability, discovery, and efficient data use in federated contexts and with immediacy requirements. This is where you come in:

You will have to combine cutting-edge technologies (IoT, Big Data, distributed architectures).
You will solve how to allow the automatic negotiation of data use conditions between participants.
You will do it all in a federated ecosystem: multiple organizations, different rules, and data that never stops moving.
This project is not just theoretical: it can end up as a real foundation in European or sectoral projects.

What you'll do

Research current architectures and protocols for data sharing.
Research the incorporation of services into the data space.
Design a federated architecture that integrates IoT, Cloud, and Big Data in accordance with ISO/IEC 20151.
Develop mechanisms that allow for real-time data exchange.
Design an automatic negotiation system for data use conditions.
Validate everything with a functional prototype and real use cases.
Publish contributions in scientific conferences and journals.
Collaborate in the team's technological watch.
Drive innovation and the integration of new technologies and methodologies.
