As European citizens, we are witnessing an age of computing ubiquity where our work and home environments are enveloped by computing resources. This comes at a cost, which is the significant problem of configuration and complexity of these resources. If computing power is to serve us, and the converse is to be denied, then these resources and their rich panoply of services must be able to carry out their increasingly complex functions without significant intrusion into our lives. CASCADAS is a three-year integrated project driven by a clear research vision, which is to define a new generation of composite, highly-distributed, pervasive services, with underlying technology, that addresses these configuration and complexity problems.
Our central objective with CASCADAS is to identify, develop, and evaluate a general-purpose abstraction for autonomic communication services, in which components autonomously achieve self-organisation and self-adaptation towards the provision of adaptive and situated communication-intensive services. We will achieve this objective by developing a common abstraction, called an ACE (Autonomic Communication Element), which represents the cornerstone of our component model. We will also use four key, underpinning scientific principles in CASCADAS, which are situation awareness, semantic self-organisation, self-similarity, and autonomic componentware to help guide the project.
The ACE concept, together with the use of the four principles ensures that CASCADAS overlaps strongly with the goals of the "Situated and Autonomic Communications" call. CASCADAS is highly relevant to the two main objectives of this call, in that we precisely "define a self-organising communication network concept", and we also "study how strategic needs impact on future communication paradigms".
