Overview

STACK research activities have been organized around four research topics. The two first ones are related to the resource management mechanisms and the programming support that are mandatory to operate and use ICT geo-distributed resources (compute, storage, network). They are transverse to the System/Middleware/Application layers, which generally composed a software stack, and nurture each other (i.e., the resource management mechanisms will leverage abstractions/concepts proposed by the programming support axis and reciprocally). The third and fourth research topics are related to the Energy and Security dimensions (both also crosscutting the three software layers). Although they could have been merged with the two first axes, we identified them as independent research directions due to their critical aspects with respect to the societal challenges they represent. In the following, we detail the actions we plan to do in each research direction.
