Aquí están algunas de las líneas de investigación en las que os podríais enrolar:

Title: Next Generation Wireless Multi-hop Networks.

Abstract: Wireless technology is rapidly advancing in a context of more powerful radios and demand for higher throughput and coverage.
The aim of this research project is to develop next-generation wireless MAC protocols for future mesh networks that makes an effective use of the available spectrum resources by combining decentralized collision-free transmission schedules, advanced multiple antenna techniques and dynamic channel access mechanisms.

Title: Cooperative Sensor networks

Abstract: The number of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) deployed especially in urban areas is growing. However, these networks are typically independent from each other and may cover the same or close areas. Our efforts in this field are focused on the collaboration of these independent networks, providing mechanisms to exchange information between them and to generate a more unified architecture for sensor network operation.

Title: P2P video streaming in mobile networks

Abstract: P2P has been proven to be an efficient architecture to provide download functionality to end users. More and more, it is also tested as an architecture for live or on-demand video streaming. With current technology advances in mobile devices, video streaming has become a popular application for them as well. Therefore, we are interested to research the effect of mobile peers on a video streaming overlay, considering their connection characteristics and their interaction with fixed-line peers. Moreover, we want to investigate the mechanisms necessary to support multi-homing peers.

#2 Todas las ofertas predoctorales que recibo son en inglés. Los destinatarios no son solo catalanes, la oferta está abierta a todo aquel que tenga los requisitos.

Además el inglés es esencial en el mundo científico así que supongo que así se aseguran de que tengas el nivel, como mínimo, para entender la oferta y comunicarte con ellos en inglés (aunque luego ves a personal universitario que del "my name is paco" no pasan xD).

#2: Porque para ser buen xxx (sea científico puro, informático, ingeniero de cualquier otra cosa) hay que saber inglés.

Saber veinte idiomas a mí me parece una chorrada, pero el inglés es básico. Los papers además se publican todos en inglés que yo sepa.
