Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Tradeoff exploration and management for the Edge-Cloud Continuum
The research of this PostDoc position will be conducted as part of the QUICK project (_Collaborative services for Urgent systems across the Edge-Cloud Computing Continuum_), funded by the "Etoiles Montantes" regional award. Our Postdocs are given the opportunity to work on the SLICES-FR large-scale experimental platform and gain interdisciplinary expertise by participating in national and international (EU funded Horizon Europe) projects. Mission confiée Computing is shifting from the traditionally centralized cloud to a distributed set of heterogenous resources located between the edge, the cloud and in-between. As computing as moved to this Computing Continuum , the tradeoff between performance, availability and cost has become increasingly complicated.
The Computing Continuum aggregates the architectural and algorithmic challenges of its subcomponents while presenting new challenges related to their control and adaptation. Urgent analytics describes time-critical, data-driven scientific workflows that can leverage distributed data sources in a timely way to facilitate important decision making in case of natural disasters, extreme events and so on. In such context, urgent analytics are in critical need for the untapped potential of the Computing Continuum. The rapidly increasing variety, scales, resolutions, and availability of observational data, such as that provided by sensor networks and scientific observatories, provides the potential for new insights for addressing scientific and societal challenges Principales activités This research work is structured around two research axis to enable a new class of applications capable of eacting to edge dynamics and using these insights to drive computation and actuation. First, establishing models of infrastructure availability and efficiency will allow decision-making to consider the flexibilities of applied models. Second, delivering software abstractions that incorporate application context and infrastructure events to program urgent analytics on top of continuum infrastructure.
