new ph.d. position in Verdione at Simula on Resilience

Verdione  is 4 year research project funded by the Norwegian research council. The project has several Norwegian and international partners, and among them are Telenor R&I, which is one the fastest growing mobile operators worldwide.  Verdione targets cooperative applications that merge virtual elements into the real world. The main application example is a World Opera. The ultimate goal is for users, including musicians, actors, singers and spectators, to become immersed in a virtual reality that includes their local environment, and where users' arbitrary actions can be disseminated to their remote communication partners. The resilience of the network is then of high importance. To improve Verdione's ability to react to network problems, network resilience is a key research topic. This will be the main focus for the announced PhD position. A resilient overlay network interworking with the underlying network infrastructure is one potential research topic.
