Australia - Swinburne University of Technology PhD Scholarships in Software Engineering

Three High-Value PhD Scholarships in Software Engineering (Service Oriented Architecture)

The Centre for Complex Software Systems and Services (CS3) at Swinburne is successful in securing funding for three PhD scholarships in the area of service oriented architecture from two Australian national Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs): CRC for Advanced Automotive Technology (AutoCRC) and Smart Services CRC. We are looking for three high-calibre PhD candidates to take up these scholarships.

• Adaptive Service Oriented Architecture for Context-aware Vehicle Systems: Modern vehicles have software systems both for control and for obtaining extra services from their changing environment through wireless vehicle-environment interaction. To reduce driver distraction in such a setting, it is important that the vehicle systems can automatically adapt to changes in their environment, delivering the right service at the right place and time according to the driver/vehicle’s need with no or little human intervention. Funded by the AutoCRC, this research project is to investigate how to systematically develop, manage and integrate such context-aware vehicle software systems, facilitating distraction-free vehicle-environment interactions. Following a service oriented approach, it focuses on context modelling and representation, context management and integration, and context-aware provision and integration of automotive functions and services.
• Adaptive Service Delivery. Service delivery concerns the enabling of services through brokers, mediators and specialist intermediaries, aimed at connecting service providers to service consumers in flexible and even unforeseen ways. Funded by the Smart Services CRC, this research project investigates how to re-purpose, reconfigure and adapt services and service assemblies for different business application contexts and manage their variations during modelling, design and operation. In particular, the project adopts an architectural approach to adaptive design and management of services and service-oriented systems. Relevant issues for investigation include the design of reconfigurable services, modelling of service-context relationships, adaptive service composition architectures, and service quality decomposition, monitoring and aggregation.
• Service Aggregation. Composite services offer new capabilities through aggregations of simpler services often involving multiple providers. Management of provision processes of such aggregations is critical to ensure all the functional and non-functional requirements for the provided services are met both at the individual and aggregated service levels. Funded by the Smart Services CRC, this research project develops a framework and associated methods, techniques and tools for adaptive management of the flexible quality-assured service aggregation. In particular it aims at enabling on-demand aggregated service procurement, QoS measurements, multi-party service level agreement (SLA) and service quality assurance during provision of service aggregations.

Ireland - University College Dublin PhD Scholarship in Development of Dynamic Yield Models for Conifers, Broadleaves and Mixtures

UCD School of Biology & Environmental Science
Scoil na Bitheolaíochta agus na hEolaíochta Comhshaoil UCD

PhD Opportunity
Development of Dynamic yield models for conifers, broadleaves and mixtures

The University College Dublin, the forest management research company Purser Tarleton Russell Ltd. and the semi state forestry company Coillte Ltd., have together, started a research project called: STANDMODEL – The Development of Dynamic yield models for conifers, broadleaves and mixtures. The project is funded by COFORD, the National Council for Forest Research and Development in Ireland.

The project is directed by the Project Coordinator and is a collaborative effort by University College Dublin, PTR Ltd. and Coillte Teoranta..

The Project Coordinator is looking for a PhD Student for this project for 3 years.

Background to the project
Until recently, forest growth and yield modelling in Ireland was carried out using British Forestry Commission Yield Models for Forest Management. However since 1999, Coillte has led a project to develop Irish Dynamic Yield Models. To date this project called DynamicYield, which is part-funded by COFORD, has delivered and launched a validated and working dynamic Yield Model for Sitka spruce, lodgepole pine, Norway spruce, Douglas fir and Scots pine. The approach taken in stand level dynamic yield modelling in Ireland to date has been to follow the state space modelling methodology, consisting of a multivariate extension of the Bertalanffy-Richards model developed by García. The species of particular interest for the STANDMODEL project are ash and Japanese larch, while models will also be required for other broadleaf species such as oak, sycamore, alder and birch.

France - 2009 / 2010 Eiffel Scholarships Programme for Master and PhD Students

The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the Eiffel excellence scholarship programme in January 1999 to support French centres of higher education in their international outreach initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among developed countries to attract elite students from overseas. In 2005, the scheme was extended with the Eiffel Doctorate programme, addressing high-calibre PhD students.

For greater clarity, the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs is now introducing a single application procedure for its Eiffel Scholarship and Eiffel Doctorate Scholarship programmes.

The new Eiffel programme thus covers two types of course:

• Master’s postgraduate degree course
• Ten-month co-tutored or co-managed component (preferably second or third year) of PhD course

The objectives of the Eiffel excellence programme run by the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs remain unchanged, the first being to offer French higher-education opportunities for future public- and private-sector decision-makers in three priority areas: science; economics & management; and law & political science.
