    International PhD Scholarship, Lancashire Business School, UK

    The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years.
    The aim of the research is to investigate and develop a decision-support system (based on RFID, real-time location and wireless communication) capable of informing command and control centres of fire fighters (and other emergency personnel and equipment) that have been despatched to an incident. The system will also allow command and control centres to manage the resources deployed. The work will involve collaboration with some Emergency Services in the UK and the University of Central Lancashire. Although the ultimate goal of the larger research is to develop a robust and versatile system (hardware, firmware and software) that can be deployed in general emergency situations, the aspect that is the subject of this advertisement will focus specifically on applications of the technology to fire services and will address the following tasks and associated challenges:
    – Developing a device management and event processing platform/system that integrates the edge (incident frontline) and the back-end (the workflow foundation).
    – Development of a management system that will allow the allocation of resources in a mobile and dynamic command and control environment.
    – Creating a declarative emergency rules engine for the purpose of inferring, correlating, and executing emergency decisions based on incoming real-time event traffic.
    Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a qualification equivalent to a high class UK honours degree.
