Накратко на български

Системите за съхранение на данни в интернет на нещата (IoT) се изследват чрез създаване на платформа за тестване на сценарии като автономни автомобили и умни домове. Това помага за подобряване на безопасността и надеждността на услугите при прекъсвания на захранването или слаба връзка.

Development ecosystem intended for engineers and researchers looking to invent, build, verify, evaluate, and release application-tailored storage systems faster and more reliably

What is the problem/issue being addressed? The Action “Ether: Development ecosystem intended for engineers and researchers looking to invent, build, verify, evaluate, and release application-tailored storage systems faster and more reliably” aims at improving the quality of IoT applications that depend on flexibility, scalability, functionality across large geographic areas, and data exchange across an entire system of systems. Why is it important for society? Autonomous vehicles, Smart houses, and Intelligent Healthcare are profound IoT cases grounded on the continuum of resources between centralized Cloud data centers and IoT nodes deployed in the field. In contrast to the well-powered and well-plugged nodes in data centers, the IoT nodes deployed in the field are frequently disrupted by power outages, poor connectivity, mobility, and several operating conditions which are constantly changing. Therefore, given modern society's exposure to such IoT applications, understanding their ability to cope with unforeseen conditions is critical to improving usability and user safety. What are the overall objectives? The objectives of Ether have been to: 1. Decompose existing systems and architectures and build an Atlas of primitives that collectively constitute a data management system for IoT. 2. Develop a fully automated Cloud-native platform for deploying, testing, and benchmarking IoT applications. 3. Build a collection of realistic scenarios that involve heterogeneous hardware resources, arbitrary network distances, and a broad range of failures (e.g., network delays, crashing nodes, disk errors). A parallel goal of this MSCA Individual Fellowship was to foster the development of the individual researcher.

Цел на проекта

In an era that Internet of Things (IoT) applications are getting increasingly dynamic and mobile, the Achilles heel of such efforts remains the management of the application state (e.g., consistency, availability, performance, fault tolerance). For stateless applications, functionalities like load balancing (active-active), failover (active-passive), and job continuity (roaming) are easily addressable at the network level. For stateful applications though, the developers must provision a clustered data layer for managing the ever-growing collections of geographically spread data. This layer needs to provide geo-transparent data access, integrate well with the interplay of backend services, and be tailored (described by structure and purpose and expressed in functionality) to the specific application requirements. Over the last few years, research efforts are mainly focused on security, privacy, confidentiality, energy efficiency, and reliability of storage systems. An important aspect that has not been thoroughly investigated yet is programmability. To keep pace with the increasing birthday of new application models it is essential to pass the technological barrier of 'programming storage systems' and enter the age of 'composing storage systems'. So far, no competent solution has been proposed either by industry or academia. Herein, we propose an open-source development ecosystem intended for engineers and researchers looking to invent, build, verify, evaluate, and release storage systems, tailored on a per-application basis. The ecosystem, called Ether, consists of i) the virtualized storage platform for managing application state whose data are spread across heterogeneous services provided by third-party vendors ii) the virtualization framework for specifying the control flows and the data management of the platform, as hierarchies of virtual functions iii) and the community hub for sharing virtual functions, platform configurations, or best practises.
