The ADMITS project aims to develop algorithms, protocols and architectures to enable a decentralized distributed computing environment to provide support for monitoring, failure detection, and analytics in IoT disaster scenarios.
This project aims to research, evaluate and architect new scenarios for the provision of innovative services in concessionaires of energy distribution. The project seeks to employ information and communication technology (ICT) to enable drastic changes in the way concessionaires operate, supporting the emergence of new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and the consolidation of smart grids.
The popularization of broadband Internet access and portable devices with high computational capacity (for example, smartphones) enabled a significant increase in the use of services and applications available in the cloud. In this scenario, network operators must manage, in addition to the growth in traffic volume, the growing demand from their customers (personal and corporate) in terms of network performance expectation. As the main product of this project we will deploy an intelligent orchestrator to guarantee QoS levels in real time, agnostic to the applications running in the Telecom Cloud.
In this project, we consider that computation, storage and networking resources have to be considered as a whole to be allocated to service requests. Each service request has to be satisfied irrespectively of other requests arrived in the past and those that can come in the future. Handling each service as something that is independent of others, but at the same time sharing the same substrate infrastructure, drives us to the concept of virtualization. Virtualization is assumed to be applied to target resources of any type, so that allowing to allocate e-virtual resources to heterogeneous service requests. The set of virtual resources that will enable a service to be deployed fulfilling its specific requirements over time, as it were the only existing one in a given computation and networking infrastructure, gives rise to the Lightweight Slice Defined Cloud (LSDC) concept coined in NECOS.
