CESGA has strong presence at FIA 2012
- The Future Internet Assembly addresses the technological and socio-economic political future of the Internet with vanguard projects in this area.
- Investigators in the CESGA Department Applications and Projects are participating in live demonstrations of FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation).
The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) 2012 is being held on May 9-11 in Aalborg, Denmark, hosted by the presidency of Denmark in the EU Council. With the theme "Smart Cities and the internet of things", the set of lectures and events will address the political, technological and socio-economic future of the Internet with the participation of various representatives from industry, academia and 'stakeholders 'European Commission and member states.
Currently, FIA gathers research projects that are part of the ICT Seventh Framework Programme. These are cutting-edge projects in their areas and since the FIA allows open interaction and mutual enrichment through the technical domains, it becomes a talent acquisition opportunity for European research community of the Future Internet.
A live experiment CESGA Bonfire
CESGA actively participates in the Assembly, within the FIRE Future Internet Research and Experimentation (Research and Experimentation Future Internet) section of its Cloud Infrastructure Project Bonfire. In FIA, CESGA demonstrates tools developed in the Virtual Clusters experiment in the Federated Cloud (VCOC) site to facilitate automatic implementation and monitoring of virtual clusters in the Cloud Land Bonfire.
The Bonfire Project has developed a federated Cloud that supports experimentation and testing of novel scenarios of Internet services for the research community. One of these experiments is precisely VCOC, which aims to assess the feasibility of using multiple Cloud environments to deploy services that require the allocation of a large group of virtual machines or CPUs for a single user.
The results of the VCOC experiment will improve techniques for the deployment of virtual services on federated Cloud infrastructures, the rules for managing these services and management methods of the elasticity of infrastructure through information provided by applications.
