PhD Studentship in game theory and machine learning

Closing date for receipt of applications: Wed, 17 Jun 2015 17:00:00 BST

Fully funded Phd position in Game Theory and Machine Learning


This position is defined in the context of the recently started Ariadna
study at the computer science department of the university of Liverpool, in
collaboration with the Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) of the European Space
Agency (ESA): 'Game Theoretic Analysis of the Space debris Removal
Dilemma' This study aims to analyse space debris removal activities from a
strategic, game-theoretical perspective. Space debris is defined as
non-manoeuvrable, human-made objects orbiting Earth. In some orbits, space
debris poses a significant collision risk for an operational spacecraft,
especially in low-Earth orbit (LEO). Currently, there are more than 23,000
objects larger than 5-10cm in Earth orbit.

Within the Clean Space initiative ESA is investigating active debris
removal in addition to mitigation measures to keep the growth of space
debris limited. In cooperation with the national space agencies and
industry partners, ESA is developing mission concepts to clean up and
deorbit space debris. This study contributes to this initiative.
Specifically, the objective is three-fold, one, to model debris
accumulation and active removal efforts as a dynamic game, two, to
determine the optimal time-dependent policies or behaviour assuming both
cooperative and self-interested players, and three, to propose a mechanism
to steer the dynamics of the game to a desirable outcome. It is expected
that such a study will provide a deeper understanding of the space debris
problem and its potential (economic) ramifications, and will provide an
outlook on potential game-theoretic solution strategies.

The investigation will involve mostly (evolutionary) game theory, machine
learning, mechanism design and some experimental simulation work.

The candidate must have a passionate interest in game theory and/or machine
learning, and an interest in space applications.

Prospective candidates must have at least a 2.1 or above Bachelor degree in
a relevant subject (Computer science, Physics, Economics) and should enjoy
mathematical work. Good programming skills are required.

The funding covers EU/UK fees and stipend of approximately ?14,057pa for a
total of 3 years. For informal enquiries please contact prof. dr. K. Tuyls
(k.tuyls@liverpool.ac.uk) or dr. R. Savani (rahul.savani@liverpool.ac.uk).

SCOPE

ICT-DM?2015 aims to bring together academics and practitioners who are
involved in emergency services, ad hoc planning, disaster recovery,
etc., to learn about the latest research developments, share experiences
and information about this area and develop recommendations.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts that present original
unpublished research on using ICTs for detection, prevention,
preparation, response and recovery of disasters. There will also be
invited presentations by experts from academia, industry, and government
as well as special sessions dedicated to case studies, demonstrations
and experiences based on pragmatic approaches. In this way, the
conference will provide a forum for supporting and encouraging both
academic researchers and practitioners involved in application focused
research.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following scope:

* Communication infrastructures, technologies and services for crisis
management
* Mobile and wireless communication networks
* Sensor networks
* Opportunistic communications
* Pervasive and mobile computing
* Context-aware computing
* Internet of things for disaster and emergency management
* M2M communications management and operations
* Smart cities for disaster and emergency management
* Cloud computing
* Data/information management and analysis for disaster management
* Querying and filtering on heterogeneous, multi-source streaming
disaster data
* Data mining from multiple information and huge sources
* Big data analytics in disaster management
* Social media and networks
* Crowd sourcing
* Coordination, collaboration and decision support technologies and
systems for disaster management
* Interoperability of heterogeneous systems
* Cyber-physical systems
* Service Oriented Architectures
* Ontology based approaches
* Prediction and early warning systems
* Security and privacy issues in information sharing
* Human-system interactive information extraction
* Uncertainty and possibly adversity in data handling and delivery
* Situation awareness
* Risk, damage and loss assessment
* Modeling and simulation tools for crisis and disaster situations
* Geo-Information technologies for disaster management
* Remote sensing
* Web mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
* Evacuation and rescue geo-planning
* Open source data and space based resources to support disaster
management
* E-governance
* Cyber security
