[CFP] Call for PhD applications in Wireless Sensor Networks and Ubiquitous Robotics at the CLARITY centre for Sensor Web Technology, Ireland |
| Body: |
The Clarity Centre is now seeking well-qualified, motivated PhD
researchers who want to be part of a world-class research group in
Sensor and Adaptive Information Technology.
Applicants for PhD Positions should have/expect to achieve at least a
2.1 in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering or a related
discipline with a keen interest in research.
Research in Ubiquitous Robotics:
Some of the available positions will address the area of robots
integrated in ubiquitous, pervasive, and intelligent environments.
Such robots are part of open and distributed networks of sensors,
actuators, and computing services, which can also act as a shared
information space for both the robots and the humans they interact
with. Some of the relevant research directions foreseen within this
task are:
- The application of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) and
Multi-Agent
System (MAS) coordination techniques to develop distributed and
adaptive
software architectures. These architectures are defined in terms of
distributed and autonomous software modules (agents), which can
exhibit global
self-configuration properties and can also deliver context-sensitive
and personalized services to
both the users and the robots in the environment.
- The integration between robots and wireless sensor networks (WSNs),
that is,
robots acting as mobile gateways or otherwise working to the
advantage of networks of
wirelessly connected sensors, e.g. carrying out maintenance,
localization, and
calibration operations in applications such as security, search &
rescue, and surveillance
systems.
Further information:
The CLARITY CSET is a partnership between University College Dublin
and Dublin City University, supported by research at the Tyndall
National Institute (TNI) Cork. CLARITY is a collaboration between a
number of specialist teams across the institutions who have already
strong track records in sensor technology. It builds on work
undertaken by the SFI-funded Adaptive Information Cluster, which is
led by 5 principal investigators from UCD and DCU.
The Clarity Centre is located in the School of Computer Science and
Informatics, University College Dublin (UCD) in Dublin, Ireland. UCD
has over 22,000 students including 2,500 international students from
over 80 countries and is situated on a large modern campus 4 km to the
south of the centre of Dublin. The Irish Government (SFI/Forfas)
Baseline Study that ranked Irish research groups identified the School
of Computer Science and Informatics at University College Dublin as
the best Computer Science department in the country, having "a very
strong impact internationally in their research."
