Safety assurance of Fog-based industrial systems

Host: Mälardalen University College (MDH), School of Innovation, Design and Engineering.

  • Main supervisor: Prof. Sasikumar Punnekkat, sasikumar.punnekkat@mdh.se (contact person)
  • Co-supervisor: Prof. Hans Hansson hans.hansson@mdh.se

Objectives:

  1. Enable efficient safety certification of Fog-based industrial automation systems by extending the state-of-the-art safety case approaches.
  2. Develop a safety assurance framework for Fog-based industrial systems that reduces costs and takes into account security.

Visits and collaboration:

  • TTT (Dr. Wilfried Steiner): Develop a proof-of-concept safety assurance of a Fog Infrastructure use case.
  • ABB (Dr. Magnus Larsson): Learn about certification standards in industrial automation and safety assurance practice.
