Three High-Value PhD Scholarships in Software Engineering (Service Oriented Architecture)
The Centre for Complex Software Systems and Services (CS3) at Swinburne is successful in securing funding for three PhD scholarships in the area of service oriented architecture from two Australian national Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs): CRC for Advanced Automotive Technology (AutoCRC) and Smart Services CRC. We are looking for three high-calibre PhD candidates to take up these scholarships.
- Adaptive Service Oriented Architecture for Context-aware Vehicle Systems: Modern vehicles have software systems both for control and for obtaining extra services from their changing environment through wireless vehicle-environment interaction. To reduce driver distraction in such a setting, it is important that the vehicle systems can automatically adapt to changes in their environment, delivering the right service at the right place and time according to the driver/vehicle’s need with no or little human intervention. Funded by the AutoCRC, this research project is to investigate how to systematically develop, manage and integrate such context-aware vehicle software systems, facilitating distraction-free vehicle-environment interactions. Following a service oriented approach, it focuses on context modelling and representation, context management and integration, and context-aware provision and integration of automotive functions and services.
- Adaptive Service Delivery. Service delivery concerns the enabling of services through brokers, mediators and specialist intermediaries, aimed at connecting service providers to service consumers in flexible and even unforeseen ways. Funded by the Smart Services CRC, this research project investigates how to re-purpose, reconfigure and adapt services and service assemblies for different business application contexts and manage their variations during modelling, design and operation. In particular, the project adopts an architectural approach to adaptive design and management of services and service-oriented systems. Relevant issues for investigation include the design of reconfigurable services, modelling of service-context relationships, adaptive service composition architectures, and service quality decomposition, monitoring and aggregation.
- Service Aggregation. Composite services offer new capabilities through aggregations of simpler services often involving multiple providers. Management of provision processes of such aggregations is critical to ensure all the functional and non-functional requirements for the provided services are met both at the individual and aggregated service levels. Funded by the Smart Services CRC, this research project develops a framework and associated methods, techniques and tools for adaptive management of the flexible quality-assured service aggregation. In particular it aims at enabling on-demand aggregated service procurement, QoS measurements, multi-party service level agreement (SLA) and service quality assurance during provision of service aggregations.
