Smart Applications on Cloud

Cloud computing is a new deployment and operational model in which high level computation services and storage are provided by Internet (“cloud”). In this project we investigate how applications can become smarter and take advantage of many features that clouds provide. The project addresses the challenges in automating the cloud management and provides services for cloud federation, brokerage of resources, optimization and performance prediction.
The project has two main themes: adaptive cloud and smart applications.
In adaptive cloud, theme we look into how to make clouds self-managing, that is self-healing, self-organizing, self-protecting and self-optimizing. In the smart applications theme, we look at new types of Internet applications, applications that have large number of users, are real time and multimedia and are geographically distributed across the globe. This project has an interdisciplinary research team, with expertise in computer networks, software engineering, data base and web technologies specialist. It is a multi-universities and multi-companies project.
