Research

I am a doctoral student at the department of Innovation, Design, and Engineering at Mälardalen University in Sweden. I am a part of Complex Real-Time Embedded Systems (CORE) research group and a member of Fog Computing for Robotics and Industrial Automation (FORA) European Training Network.

My research interests are the following:
  • Resource management in Fog computing
  • Predictable execution of real-time systems
  • Real-time container-based virtualization
  • Cloud and the Industrial Internet of Things

If you are interested in a topic that is relevant to my research interests, I can (co-)advise your bachelor/master thesis

My Resume

Václav Struhár

PhD Student, Software Developer

Work History

Intern @ TTTech Austria
2011 - 2012

My project aims at introduction of real-time guarantees for container orchestration systems. Current systems focus mainly on reliability, efficient resource usage and elasticity. However, many industries (e.g., automotive, avionics, robot-control) require stringent time guarantees that ensure that a given action/computation will be finished before a defined deadline.

Technology & Experience:
  • Container orchestration
  • Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Docker
  • Real-time scheduling
