PhD in Computing Science – Edge Computation and the Future of Transport 2/2

A funded PhD studentship is available, working with Dr Colin Perkins and Dr Jeremy Singer at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with Rakuten Mobile.

The studentship will consider asynchronous, type-safe, programming models, APIs, and runtime support for effective peer-to-peer communication and discovery, with an emphasis on gossip protocols and named data or named function networks.

The studentship is part of a larger project developing scalable, asynchronous, distributed programming models for edge computation, state synchronisation, and node management; and improving network transport protocols and their APIs to help make effective use of network resources. By leveraging these innovations, we aim to prototype next generation edge management tools to simplify operation of large-scale edge compute infrastructure, as found in 5G networks, to support emerging low-latency applications and services.

The studentship will be based in Glasgow, but will work closely with researchers at Rakuten Mobile in Tokyo, Japan.
