CLOUDSTARS presents a joint research programme in the fields of Cloud computing and AI technologies. On one hand, CLOUDSTARS pursues innovation in the Cloud infrastructures to support the next generation of low-latency, high-performance complex workloads which are now being developed. On the other hand, the research programme pursues high innovationin the Cloud, making the best application of artificial intelligence techniques and AI models with automatic adaptation to the computing resources both in the Cloud and the Edge to optimize where data are being processed.
The participants in CLOUDSTARS exchange skills and knowledge to allow them to progress towards key advances in cloud computing, data analytics and AI technologies, while strengthening collaborative research between different countries and sectors. In particular, the staff members who participate in the project develop new skills (open-source contributions, access to cutting-edge Cloud/Edge technologies), be exposed to new research environments.
To facilitate the exploitation of results, CLOUDSTARS will favor industrial open-source technologies whenever possible. This will increase the overall global impact of research contributions, helping to arrive to millions of interested third parties through open-source communities. In this sense, the companies involved in the project will transfer knowledge and open-source projects to their commercial products and cloud offerings, providing a great economic and social impact.
