ARMADA

• Title: hARnessing MAssive DAta flows

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (CHILI)

• Duration: 2014 - 2016

• See also: http://web.inria-armada.org

• The ARMADA project aims at designing and implementing a reliable framework for the management and processing of massive dynamic dataflows. The project is two-pronged: fault-tolerant middleware support for processing massive continuous input, and a redundant storage service for mutable data on a massive scale.

• Title: Application Dependent Intrusion (Byzantine) Detection in Dynamic Cloud Systems

• International Partner (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):

  • Technion, Haifa (Israel)

• Duration: 2014 – 2015

• The goal of this project is to study the ability to detect intrusions, and more broadly Byzantine failures, in standard cloud services. The goal is to provide a formal model and a corresponding formal definition of Byzantine failure detection in dynamic cloud environments, and provide formally provable implementations of these detectors. We also intend to study how to combine such Byzantine failure detectors in standard open source cloud building blocks, such as ZooKeeper, Hadoop, and Cassandra, and harden them in order to make them resilient to such attacks.
