There is a PhD scholarship available at the School of Mathematics to work on an ERC-funded project in Extremal and Probabilistic Graph Theory with Prof Deryk Osthus.

The preferred starting date would be late September 2014, but there is some flexibility in this.

Informal enquiries about the scholarship should be made to Prof Deryk Osthus via email:

d.osthus at bham.ac.uk

The Combinatorics group in Birmingham offers a vibrant research environment, with currently six permanent members of staff, as well as five research fellows and six PhD students. Further information about the Combinatorics group is available at

IEEE WoWMoM 2014 is soliciting original and previously unpublished
papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of
wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications.

The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in
future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities
for distributing multimedia contents over wireless networks, enabling
dissemination of professional contents to mobile users as well as
sharing user-generated contents among them. Users will be able to
retrieve, publish, and manage information, communicate with other users
or devices, access and author services, create and exploit context-
awareness and so on. Papers that present original work, validated by
experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. Practical
experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academy,
duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field-trials, or
real deployments, are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless multimedia systems, services and applications
- Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks
- Ad-hoc, sensor, mesh and vehicular wireless networks
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
- Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things
- Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management and
distribution for mobile networks
- Localization mechanisms and services
- Participatory and urban sensing
- Mobile social networking
- Resource management and QoS/QoE provisioning
- Multicasting and broadcasting issues
- Handoff and mobility management
- Network management and control
- Dependability, reliability and survivability issues for wireless,
mobile and multimedia networks
- Security and privacy issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia
networks
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management
