This project in resilient continuum computing will build on recent Surrey PhD research in computational performance assurance and application context sensitivity, exploring decision-making in respect to how these are supported by activities involving resource orchestration, reconfiguration, and migration.

Project Description
Computing in the continuum entails making simultaneous and seamless use of multiple computational resources across, at least, user devices, multi-access edge computing, and cloud, potentially spanned by a multiplicity of network connectivity types, such that multiple of these could be in use in a certain way at a given moment to satisfy some need but be being used differently to satisfy the same need in the next. Within the continuum, dynamic reconfiguration readily offers for resiliency in seeking to make the most of the resources available, subject to how optimally this can be achieved and potentially across a large multiplicity of users with rather different demands, and to satisfy requirements such as on performance and costs. PhD projects in this topic will explore how to provide for highly dynamic, reconfigurable, usage within the continuum which, for example, when accounting also for rapid mobility would support continuous service provision for cooperative autonomous/automated vehicles.
How to Apply
Applications should be submitted via the Computer Science PhD programme page. In place of a research proposal you should upload a document stating the title of the projects (up to 2) that you wish to apply for and the name(s) of the relevant supervisor. You must upload your full CV and any transcripts of previous academic qualifications. You should enter ’Faculty Funded Competition’ under funding type.
Funding
The studentship will provide a stipend at UKRI rates (currently £17,668 for 2022/23) and tuition fees for 3.5 years. An additional bursary of £1700 per annum for the duration of the studentship will be offered to exceptional candidates.
