The outstanding student will use novel approaches to distributed and embedded system design to develop future architectures for mobile and vehicular networks in environments with limited infrastructure. The development of future architectures will find the best approach to service interoperability and scalable fusion of distributed networking technologies, decision support applications and secure Blockchains for data, software and functionality sharing. A low infrastructure wireless solution will depend on fusion of heterogeneous technologies and traceability as devices use wireless Mesh, WLAN, WSN as well as mobile connections such as LTE and 5G if and when these are available. The key to implementation of a future IoT architecture is trust in consistent and right first time output - the student will investigate methods, metrics and systems used to support seamless transition between technologies. In an increasingly mobile and interconnected world, the challenges to vehicular networks of the future lie in areas with limited infrastructure. Providing solutions in these regions offers real world impact, supporting community development and offering safety critical solutions in disaster scenarios.
