IRT B-Com
Participants : Yvon Jégou, Edouard Outin, Jean-Louis Pazat.
Yvon Jégou and Jean-Louis Pazat are at IRT B-Com (http://b-com.org/wp/) one day per week. With Édouard Outin, B-com PhD student, they contribute to the B-Com Indeed project, which aims at developing a distributed cloud software stack with a high degree of adaptability.
In the last period, they were involved in the elaboration of new projects in the Cloud Computing lab of B-Com.
CominLabs EPOC project (2013-2017)
Participants : Sabbir Hasan Rochi, Yunbo Li, Anne-Cécile Orgerie, Jean-Louis Pazat.
In this project, partners aim at focusing on energy-aware task execution from the hardware to application's components in the context of a mono-site data center (all resources are in the same physical location) which is connected to the regular electric Grid and to renewable energy sources (such as windmills or solar cells). In this context, we tackle three major challenges:
-
Optimizing the energy consumption of distributed infrastructures and service compositions in the presence of ever more dynamic service applications and ever more stringent availability requirements for services.
-
Designing a clever cloud's resource management which takes advantage of renewable energy availability to perform opportunistic tasks, then exploring the trade-off between energy saving and performance aspects in large-scale distributed systems.
-
Investigating energy-aware optical ultra high-speed interconnection networks to exchange large volumes of data (VM memory and storage) over very short periods of time.
INDIC - Cybersecurity Pole of Excellence (2014-2018)
Participants : Anna Giannakou, Christine Morin, Jean-Louis Pazat, Louis Rilling, Amir Teshome Wonjiga.
Our study carried out in the framework of a collaboration with DGA-MI aims at defining and enforcing SLA for security monitoring of virtualized information systems. To this aim we study three topics:
-
making the SLA terms enforcement mechanisms self-adaptable to cope with the dynamic nature of clouds.
The considered enforcement and evaluation mechanisms should have a minimal impact on performance. The funding from DGA funds two PhD students: Anna Giannakou and Amir Teshome Wonjiga.
