OpenStack Academic Initiative
This group is silent and needs a person responsible to drive its progress.
Mission:
- provide a place for all research academics efforts can be advertised and found, about and around OpenStack (not generic about IaaS or PaaS)
- a list of papers published and ongoing research
- a list of conferences about cloud computing
- maintain a list of ideas for the companies to sponsor research,like a "market"
- a place for the companies to say what they need and research can execute
- undergrad level, gsoc-style, time starved but there are many of them. it's important to be easy for them to contribute
- masters level, more in depth work, empirical studies like performance evaluation
- phd level, exploratory type of research
- handle the funding, hr tasks, mentoring: who's going to manage this?
- mentoring is intense and time consuming, but crucial for the success of research
- provide resources, like hardware for tests, for researchers
- advertise this initiative among researchers
- Example: setup OpenStack tracks at a couple of relevant conferences
Research Areas
Openstack is a very nice platform that could be leveraged by Academia for various research projects. Areas include:
- (General) Distributed Systems
- Scalable data layer
- CS.Princeton (Arpan Ghosh)
- Software Defined Networking
- Policy and languages
- Algorithms
- Resource Allocation
- Scheduling
- Network optimization
- Data mining and machine learning
- Monitoring and data collection of large data centers
- Mining patterns from collected data and applications e.g. anomaly detection etc.
Next steps:
Identify the group responsible for this initiative and define action items, deadlines and deliverables. Contact the User Committee to volunteer.
