Clouds
One of the hottest buzzwords in IT today but their general
nature makes them difficult to define
Eight primary criteria can constitute the nature of cloud
services
rapid provisioning and self-service, rich web management, scalability
and elasticity, accounting granularity and cost allocation, multi-tenant
architectures, programmatic interfaces, publicly accessible
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network

access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g.,
networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction

The IRMOS Objectives
Service Oriented Infrastructure, which allows the
adoption of interactive real-time applications
Soft real-time but not hard real-time
violation does not cause loss of life, not safety critical
tolerant of some QoS violation
time granularity is mS not uS
To make it feasible we have a set of challenges
to face:
Enabling real-time attributes at various levels of the
infrastructure (network, storage, processing,
application)
Providing QoS Guarantees
Achieving automated SLA Negotiation
Mapping between high-level application terms and fine-
grained resource-level attributes
Provisions of supporting tools to develop applications
with predictable performance
Applications
Demonstration of the IRMOS functionality in
three different application areas
Collaborative Digital Film Postproduction.
Virtual and Augmented Reality.
