Bilateral Contracts with Industry

The objective of our collaboration with EDF R&D is to design a resource management system for private clouds that provides support for different application SLAs while maximizing the resource utilization of the infrastructure. Stefania Costache's PhD work [11] is funded through a CIFRE grant with EDF R&D. In 2013, we have completed the implementation of the Merkat prototype and evaluated it with realistic applications provided by EDF R&D and with task farming and batch scheduling environments such as Condor and Torque [23] , [22] .
