>EPSRC PhD Studentship - Analysis of Massively Parallel Systems
>
>Supervisors: Dr Aad van Moorsel and Dr Nigel Thomas
>School: School of Computing Science, Newcastle University with Imperial
>College London
>Sponsor: EPSRC
>Duration of award: 3 years and 6 months
>
>In this PhD project we will develop techniques for predictive performance
>modelling of large-scale computer systems. Real-world Internet applications,
>such as bittorrent file sharing networks and attacks such as network worm
>infestations are increasingly important for our economy and society. Yet
>such systems, because of their very size, are difficult to analyse for
>performance, reliability and other important characteristics. By exploiting
>symmetries and parallelism inherent in these systems this project makes such
>system amenable to performance prediction. This PhD project will result in
>new techniques for performance prediction or in applying performance
>prediction to real-world systems.
>
>This project will start in September 2009. This project is a joint project
>with Imperial College London and you will work in a team with four
>researchers and supervisors from both universities.
>
>Newcastle's School of Computing Science is one of the UK's leading schools
>of computing science. We carry out exciting, cutting-edge research in a
>range of topics. More information can be found at the School's research
>pages.
>
>Value of the Award
>Depending on how you meet the EPSRC's eligibility criteria, you may be
>entitled to a full award (tuition fees and a stipend of approximately
>£14,000 per year) or a partial award (covers fees only).
>
>Person Specification
>You should have, or expect to obtain, a first-class Honours BSc degree or a
>Master's degree in computing science, mathematics or a closely related
>discipline.

>How to Apply: email aad.vanmoorsel@ncl.ac.uk
