Adaptive, Trustworthy, Manageable, Orchestrated, Secure, Privacy-assuring, Hybrid Ecosystem for REsilient Cloud Computing (ATMOSPHERE, GA 777154) is a 24-month RIA funded by the European Commission under the H2020 Programme (topic EUB-1-2017 Cloud computing, including security aspects) and the Secretary of Politics of Informatics (SEPIN) of the Brazilian Ministry of Science and Technology (MCTI) under the corresponding matching Brazilian Call for proposals: 4ª Chamada Coordenada Programa de Cooperação Brasil-União Europeia em Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação – TIC.
ATMOSPHERE aims at designing and developing a framework and a platform to implement trustworthy cloud services on a federated intercontinental hybrid and resource pool. Trust in a cloud environment is considered as the reliance of a customer on a cloud service and, consequently, on its provider. ATMOSPHERE focuses on a broad spectrum of trustworthiness properties and their measures such as Security, Privacy, Coherence, Isolation, Stability, Fairness, Transparency and Dependability. Based on the given definition of trust in cloud computing, trustworthiness can be defined as the worthiness of a service and its provider for being trusted.
ATMOSPHERE will support the development, build, deployment, measurement and adaptation of trustworthy cloud resources, data management services and data processing services, demonstrated on a sensitive scenario of distributed telemedicine.
Leveraging on the legacy of EUBrazilCloudConnect, EUBra-BIGSEA, EUBrasilCloudForum and SECURECLOUD, ATMOSPHERE plans to achieve the following four results:
- A Hybrid federated VM and container platform.
- A development framework with three sets of services:
+ Trustworthy evaluation and monitoring framework;
+ Trustworthy Distributed Data Management services; Trustworthy Distributed Data Processing services.
- A pilot use case on Medical Imaging Processing.
- The organisation of two CLOUDSCAPE-Brazil events.
