Research

Supervisory control and runtime reconfiguration of cyber-physical systems in post-failure states. The current Væringjar II model unifies capability, admissibility, timing and trajectory selection.

Engineering

Automotive, robotics and embedded-system engineering with practical work across system architecture, functional safety, cybersecurity, hardware/software integration and delivery.

Teaching

Associate Professor and author of engineering courses. Teaching material on Væringjar is published as a growing dated course whose lecture notes and source transcripts preserve its development over time.

The name

Why “Væringjar II”

Væringjar is the Old Norse name for the Varangians — warriors from the north of Europe who served Kyiv (Kyivan Rus) and, from Kyiv, entered the service of Byzantium. The programme takes one idea from them: fidelity to the mission. A system should remain coherent, survivable and true to its goal under hostile conditions, as the Varangians of Kyiv remained true to theirs in the service of Constantinople.

The index “II” marks a substantial change of the idea. Earlier approaches did not lead to the result, and the project abandoned them. The record of that revision is kept in Research evolution.

Evidence is allowed to change the model.

Væringjar is not a site built to defend a frozen idea. Experiments are allowed to expose missing assumptions. Earlier formulations are preserved, the turning point is documented, and the scientific model is revised when the evidence requires it.
