PhD Studentship in Content-Centric Networking, UK
PhD in Content-Centric Networking of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering UK
Job Description: A PhD studentship in Content-Centric Networking (CCN) is available following the award of the recent European Union FP7 research project COMET – Content Mediator Architecture for Content-aware Networks. Funding is available to support overseas fees and stipend costs for a period of three years. We are looking to recruit a very high calibre PhD student to work in this emerging area of crucial importance.
While the fundamental Internet protocols were originally designed to enable host-to-host communication, the vast majority of the current Internet interactions address user-content access (web, content delivery networks, video/photo sharing sites, etc.) or user-user communication (voice over IP, text-based chatting, etc.) As such, many researchers are currently considering evolutionary and revolutionary new architectures that will better support content-centric operation. Evolutionary approaches operate in the application layer and start from previous content-delivery architectures while revolutionary approaches examine radical new network architectures focus on user-content and also support user-user interaction. The emerging content-centric networking area has started receiving significant attention worldwide, with an underlying belief that it will lead to a CCN-oriented Future Internet.
This area brings together new naming architectures, dynamic content caching, anycast communication and better-than-best-effort quality of service among other constituents and potentially involves new protocol design, modelling, implementation and evaluation for the best support of efficient content access. The PhD student will work in the context of the COMET project team and will benefit from (and contribute to) relevant ongoing research.
The studentship available will be supported by UCL and the COMET project (Content Mediator Architecture for Content-aware Networks), see http://www.comet-project.org/. COMET looks at both evolutionary and revolutionary approaches for future CCNs, starting from an overlay-based content mediation plane and examining potential approaches to realise this natively in network routers for the future Internet. As such, we are looking for candidates with excellent computer and/or electronic engineering background while strong analytical/mathematical skills will be a significant advantage. Experience of research, design/development and evaluation on networking, network management, ns-2 simulator, Linux, Java, C/C++ or similar would be desirable.
Application Deadline 30th September 2010
