about the roleYour role is to conduct a post PhD research project on "Architecture Description Language and Runtime Model for the Cloud2IoT Continuum," which will contribute to the French collaborative project "5GMetaverse4Industry" funded by the BPI.Overall Context and Issues of the Subject
Orange and INRIA are collaborating through a joint laboratory and a joint team on the management of the Telco Cloud2IoT continuum. This continuum designates an infrastructure combining Telco Cloud, Edge, and IoT (gateways, devices) on which applications and services will be deployed and executed. The complexity of future services around cyber-physical systems will lead these architectures to be massively geo-distributed. Furthermore, current management solutions are heterogeneous and exist within their own verticals, and it is necessary to design management architectures that take into account this need for interoperability and openness. Finally, a digital twin-based approach, here to propose a runtime model of the Telco Cloud2IoT continuum, remains to be explored. The Thing in the Future digital twin platform (Thing'in https://www.thinginthefuture.com) developed by Orange Innovation will support this exploration.Scientific Objective - Results and Challenges to Address
The scientific objective is to contribute to the management of geo-distributed infrastructures built on the Telco Cloud2IoT continuum. This includes characterizing and describing Telco Cloud2IoT infrastructures via an ADL.The main challenges to address are:
  • Defining methodologies and approaches to extract continuum characteristics.
  • Defining an Architecture Description Language (ADL) at runtime.
  • Conducting the modeling and synchronization mechanisms for the digital twin in Thing'in.
The main expected results are:
  • Specification of an ADL: this ADL will be based on an existing ecosystem. Several options are possible; a preliminary study will be required. These include (non-exhaustive list) TOSCA (https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=tosca), SIMAP (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-nmop-simap-concept/), and YANG (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7950).
  • Design of a model usable in Thing'in.
  • Creation of the digital twin: a prototype synchronizing the Telco Cloud2IoT continuum with a digital twin managed in Thing'in. The next step will be to describe the results and the challenges to be addressed.

additional informationThis post PhD focuses on the field of management of massively geo-distributed infrastructures to meet the needs related to the expansion in complexity of services around the Internet of Things and more generally the management of cyber-physical universes. They are at the crossroads of technologies such as Augmented/Virtual/Mixed Reality, Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and Digital Twins. Cyber-physical universes are linked to another highly visible field: the metaverse. More specifically, the postdoc will contribute to the French collaborative project "5GMetaverse4Industry" funded by the BPI. This project aims to develop and validate the relevance of a new approach to remote collaborative work and teleworking in industry, based on an unprecedented exploitation of the digital twin and mixed reality thanks to 5G technologies. In this project, 5G and mixed reality technologies will be enhanced and adapted to enable the implementation of two flagship use cases.
You will be part of a dynamic and experienced team in the field of Home LAN Management, implementing AI and digital twin techniques, and experimenting with FLAMINGO, the federated platform for the management of connected objects. You will collaborate with experts in these fields as well as researchers contributing to the Thing'in digital twin platform.departmentThe ambition of Innovation Division is to further innovation of Orange and strengthen its technological leadership by leveraging our research capabilities to foster responsible innovation for the benefit of people, inform the long-term strategic decisions of the Group, and influence the global digital ecosystem.
We train experts in the technologies of today and tomorrow, and ensure continuous improvement in the performance and efficiency of our services. The Innovation Division brings together 6,000 employees worldwide dedicated to research and innovation, including 740 researchers. With a global vision and a wide variety of backgrounds (researchers, engineers, designers, developers, data scientists, sociologists, graphic designers, marketers, cybersecurity experts, etc.), the women and men of Innovation are attentive to and dedicated to serving countries, regions, and business units to make Orange a trusted multi-service operator.Within Innovation, you will be integrated into a research team at the forefront of innovation and expertise in the management of connected equipment (Internet gateways, IoT, etc.) installed at customer sites: Home LAN Management. It covers key functions for Orange to deliver services and enable efficient maintenance: inventory, diagnostics, configuration, software management.contractPost Doc
