Embedded processors represent around 96% of all processors available worldw= ide, and are present in a wide variety of systems that operate in the vario= us sectors of society. Notorious examples are mobile devices, home applianc= es, as well as highly complex and safety-critical systems such as airplanes= , satellites, and cars. RTES is therefore a key research area whose results= are fundamental for boosting the development of the future generation of h= ighly complex and automated computing systems in virtually all application = domains, notably, aerospace and defence systems, autonomous transportation = systems, the Internet of Things, energy aware and green computing, smart fa= ctory automation and advanced medical devices and applications. CISTER=E2= =80=99s is currently involved in major international projects such as ENABL= E-S3 (on Novel Validation & Verification Procedures for Highly Automated Sy= stems), Productive 4.0 (on the Digitalization of the European Industry) or = SCOTT (on Building Trust in the Internet of Things). The accepted candidates will engage on a highly ambitious PhD research plan= , under the supervision of CISTER=E2=80=99s internationally renowned resear= chers, and will become part of an international and multi-cultural research= team with a leading research track on multiple hot topics of RTES. CISTER and the City of Porto will also be the centre of the world for Cyber= -Physical Systems in 2018, with the realization of the CPSWeek 2018 (www.cp= sweek.org). This research environment is boosted by strong collaborations with various= world reputed academic institutions as well as with key international indu= strial players such as Airbus, Thales, Volvo, Renault, Toyota, Embraer, Hon= eywell, Siemens, Philips, IBM, Critical Software, TTTech, AVL, EFACEC, GMV = or Bosch.
