Middleware migration – Study, evaluate & implement
Redesign the CTRL configuration backend WAMP middleware

1. Investigate: Analyze alternatives to crossbar.io
2. Analyze: Pick a viable candidate for a proof of concept (POC)
3. Implement: Make the POC, demonstrating its pros and cons
Qualifications:
4. Enrolled in a Bachelor's or master's program in Computer Science, Informatics, Electronics, or a related field.
5. Proficient knowledge with Python
6. Effective communication and teamwork abilities
