Abstract

We will study the interactions across clouds, and how to split application functions across clouds

Intellectual Merit

The result of the project will include both algorithms that automatically split functions of applications across clouds, and systems that can help applications run across clouds.

Broader Impacts

The project will help students understand the cloud applications better, gain hands-on experiences, and explore new research directions for the interactions of the cloud.
