Open and fully funded PhD Position at Orange Labs Networks and Carriers and  Univ. Grenoble, France

Title:  Context Aware Personal Cloud

Starting Date: between September and november 2013
Duration: 3 years 
Founding:  29000 euro per year  (plus bonus)

Context: Collaboration between Orange Labs Networks and Carriers Grenoble (http://www.orange.com/en/innovation/research) and Grenoble Informatics Laboratory (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble: http://www.liglab.fr/?lang=en).

Supervisor: Claudia Roncancio (LIG) and François-Gaël Ottogalli (Orange Labs Networks and Carriers)

Goal: The Personal Cloud can be defined as a new model facilitating  the interaction between a user and its technological environment. This technological environment is characterized by several kind of socially typed activities (public/personal/professional/...) together with the fact that those activities are ran through a multi-device experience leveraging a cloud infrastructure. Each interaction is context sensitive in the sense that the execution of related services are tailored regarding available resource availability, execution cost, and expected Quality-of-Experience regarding interaction modalities. The Personal Cloud is a facilitator for the development of Any Time, Any Where, Any Device, Any Content services.

The main goal of this PhD research is to design a new kind of context builder for the Personal Cloud which could be viewed as an ubiquitous information system. The approach is to rely on a join analysis of data streams and persistent data to characterize the context of a service for execution. Main challenges related to this research are:
- Deep understanding of the semantics related to queries and operations on data.
- Investigate semantic equivalence between contexts to fit appropriate quality requirements.
- Autonomic deployment and redeployment of complex queries and monitoring services.
- Dynamic and reactive optimization of the system to enhance the personal cloud support.

Background of applicant:
The project involves both computer science theory and its application to real-world applications. The applicant should be a good programer with a good knowledge of computer science theory. A master degree in the field of computer science (or closely related discipline) is mandatory.
