Master's Thesis: Programming Wearable IoT Apps

We have an open position for a dedicated master's student to join us at the Connected
Intelligence research unit, within the Computer Science department at RISE.

Goal
The goal of this thesis is to design a programming system for wearable applications that use IoT
devices to sense physiological quantities on a person’s body.

Task
The thesis work includes a literature study to gain some understanding of existing programming
systems in this domain. Center to the thesis work is the design of a programming system that
adopts a “building-block” approach, similar to Blocky or Node-RED, that allows developers to
compose wearable IoT applications that span sensor nodes, edge, and cloud devices. The
student(s) will then realize a prototype implementation to demonstrate the system in action.

Who are you?
We expect you to have good programming skills and knowledge in IoT, sensing, and embedded
systems.

Terms
Location: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden in Kista, Stockholm, with the possibility of some remote work.
Duration:  Contract is for 6 months, with potential for extension based on project needs.
Benefits: You will be paid 1000 SEK per ECTS, on satisfactory oral + written thesis defense.

Welcome with your application!
To know more, please contact Prof. Thiemo Voigt (thiemo.voigt@ri.se), and Luca Mottola
(luca.mottola@ri.se). Applications should include a brief personal letter, CV, recent grades,
and a code example. In addition, we appreciate an article, paper, thesis, or other relevant
documents you have written to judge your ability to express yourself in English. Candidates
are encouraged to send in their applications as soon as possible. Applicants will be interviewed
as soon as applications are received.
