Job description

PhD position: Model-driven design of context-aware mobile services Technological developments in communications, hardware and software have enabled the development of applications that can adapt transparently to changes in the capabilities of the communication infrastructure, to whatever the user is doing, and to his personal
preferences and needs. These applications will offer so called ubiquitous, mobile, context-aware, personalised services to their end users. In order to realise this, advanced methods and tools are required to facilitate the development and provisioning of new services. These tools should shield the developers from the
heterogeneous nature of the communication infrastructure and the diversity in devices through which their services will be provided. This PhD project concerns the application of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles and technologies to the design of context-aware mobile services. This PhD project will be embedded in the Freeband A-MUSE project (http://a-muse. freeband. nl/). Vacancy number 06/111. PhD position: Service creation and execution platform for intelligent and personalized mobile services

This PhD project addresses the challenge of designing, developing and putting into operation efficient and innovative mobile Service creation/execution Platforms for converged networks beyond 3G. This project aims at investigating developing, prototyping and evaluating an extendable overlay architecture and framework for rapid creation and deployment of intelligent and personalised Mobile Communication
and Content & Information Services. This platform will support multiple heterogeneous execution platforms allowing for new, innovative services to be spread across different operator domains and over different countries. This PhD project will be embedded in the European project SPICE (6th Framework Programme, IST Integrated Project, http://www.ist- spice.org/). Vacancy number 06/112.
