The Peer to Peer Networking Group at TU Darmstadt (Germany) is currently offering fully funded
* PhD student positions (BAT IIa [1]).*
We are working on decentralized distributed systems (Peer to Peer, opportunistic- / disruption tolerant networks) with a special focus on their robustness to failure and their resilience to denial of service attacks. The search for new application domains in which these concepts can help to improve services constantly drives us to tackle new fields and their problems with flexibility. Some current examples from our research comprise of cloud computing, emergency first response, as well as secure and privacy preserving online social networks, on which we are working at the moment. More information about us can be found at our website: http://www.p2p.tu-darmstadt.de/
