Project description
Third-cycle subject: Information and Communication Technology
The PhD student will join the group of Prof. Benoit Baudry who investigates techniques to constantly evolve software applications to prevent single points of failure. Experimental software engineering and case studies form the core scientific foundations for this work.
Open source libraries are increasingly used as part of large industrial software systems. Some of these systems are subject to strict safety and security constraints. In this context, it is essential to assess the quality of open source libraries. This assessment acitivity has to rely on state of the art program analysis techniques proposed in the scientific literature.
In this context, the PhD student will investigate software technology in the areas of code analysis, software testing, open source software development and continuous integration. The goal is to develop and assess new technology to harden open source libraries at the time they are integrated in the build of secure sensitive software applications.
This PhD thesis is funded by the 'Internet of DevOps' project, which is collaboration between KTH, SAAB, Ericsson, Syntel and European partners. Applicants must hold or be about to receive a Masters degree in Computer Science. The candidate should have a strong background from at least one of the following areas: dynamic and static program analysis, compilation, operating systems. Expertise in object-oriented programming and design is highly appreciated.
