  1. MTBC Cloud Computing Initiative • Applications of cloud computing • Overview of the NSF Net-Centric Software and Systems (NCSS) I/UCRC • MTBC and NCSS collaboration in cloud computing • Summary

  2. Applications of Cloud Computing • Tremendous computing and data power • Scientific computing, federated data centers, E-commerce • Cloud-based “software as a service” paradigm • Mobile users can access compute-intensive applications on-the-go via low-cost hand-held devices • Doctors can immediately access patient records in emergency situations • Potential for emerging applications in service clouds • Software and physical services in the cloud, such as emergency response, defense, transportation, etc. • Educational applications • Coordinated access to shared laboratory facilities • Capabilities to support team-based projects and learning

  3. Critical Emerging Cloud Applications • Emerging applications in service clouds • Real-time cloud-based data access • Distributed governance & decentralized coordination of complex systems Command & Control Emergency Response

  4. Cloud computing and communication network Control and monitoring stations Sensor/radar units and on-board processors Critical Emerging Cloud Applications • Tele-collaboration • Defense • Emergency response • Business • Distance learning • Distributed monitoring and coordination • Defense • Traffic coordination • Environmental monitoring

  5. NSF NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Research • Cloud computing research challenges • Computing/communication infrastructure support • Dynamic cloud-based application composition and delivery to end users in real-time • Need for high dependability assurance • Security: Must address privacy/confidentiality concerns • Reliability/Availability: Capabilities must be available to the user when and wherever they are needed • High quality of service (QoS) assurance for end users • Robust power/heat management

  6. NSF NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Research • The NSF Net-Centric I/UCRC goals: • Develop advanced software and systems technology to improve industry’s competitiveness in building and deploying various cloud-computing applications • Dependable communication system • Innovative service-oriented computing capabilities • High dependability assurance for cloud-based systems • Provide a forum for establishing a market and an SOA infrastructure for critical services for emerging cloud computing based applications

  9. NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Projects • Dynamic Service Composition with QoS Assurance (Lockheed Martin Aero) • Develop a model and a suite of techniques to enable SOA based “Distributed Governance” for effectively coordinating a complex system of physical entities • QoS-Reconfigurable Web Services and Compositions for High-Assurance Systems • Develop methods for real-time QoS analysis and composition of reconfigurable services in changing environments, including command & control systems, airspace management systems, etc.

  10. NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Projects • Framework for QoS-Assured and Power-Aware Service Composition (Boeing) • Collaborative QoS and power management in the service cloud and handheld devices that access the cloud • Consider a global environment with distributed service domains and wired/wireless service providers • Energy Efficient Query Monitoring and Processing in Massive Database Systems (HP) • Reduce carbon footprints of data centers by increasing power efficiency and reducing hot-spots based on advanced query monitoring and data relocation methods

  11. NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Projects • A Power Optimization Framework for Multi-Core Handheld Devices (TI) • Develop an advanced power optimization framework to achieve better power management, especially for hand-held multi-core devices

  12. NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Projects • Self-Detection of Abnormal Event Sequences (Cisco Systems) • Given a set of event sequences, use machine learning strategies to automatically detect the occurrence of any abnormal situations to a high degree of accuracy • Evaluation Tools for Software Components and Services (Raytheon) • Develop a set of tools to enable the objective and accurate evaluation of the quality, performance, and dependability of software components and services

  13. NCSS I/UCRC Cloud Computing Projects • Protecting Resource-Constrained RFID through Security Fusion (Globe Ranger) • Develop new “security fusion” paradigm using programmable FSM in Globe Ranger’s iMotion platforms to effectively handle privacy and integrity concerns for emerging RFID technology • Improving security and performance of memory systems • Design a unified memory hierarchy for multi-core systems • Memory can be customized for applications • Side-channel security attacks can be prevented
