Project Overview
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 a two layered cloud computing model: in the first layer, a
federation of sub-clouds offers basic infrastructure services such as storage and
raw computation; the second layer offers higher level computational services
that provision and manage software development platforms, including Tools as a
Service. 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 runs
under the umbrella of Centre
of Excellence for Research in Adaptive Systems (CERAS), jointly sponsored
by IBM and OCE.
