Objective

The CLOUDSCREEN project will not only train ESRs on their scientific and technical skills in an unique multinational, multidisciplinary and intersectoral research training network, but will also help talented ESRs to develop their confidence, personal character, entrepreneurial skills and to foster their creativity. The main training objective is to offer a unique training program, integrating scientific education, research training and immersion in an industrial environment. The training programme will let them taking necessary risks and learning from possible mistakes. It is about showing them how to work, how to manage projects and take responsibility. The research topics are highly innovative, society and environmentally relevant and above all have serious economic potential. The main research objective of the CLOUDSCREENS project is to research new topics that would contribute to creation of the future software-based services that combine cloud-based services, device-based personal spaces and smart networked objects for multimedia delivery and consumption. The project shall focus on four interconnected topics: quality of service (QoS) in multi-service environments, personal spaces, smart environments, and new generation of user interfaces. The ESRs shall concentrate their work on the research, architectural design, and prototyping for systems that can be delivered as software application from the cloud, also known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The ESRs will be encouraged to disseminate their enthusiasm about involvement in this research project. Finally, this project will contribute to creating the future leaders in science that Europe needs both for the public and private sector. It aims to develop students into excellent researchers in fields of cloud computing, multimedia processing and networking technology who are equally skilled to start an advanced carrier in the private sector.
