The project entails research on software engineering (e.g., mapping requirements to software architectures, software architecture models and their adaptation, software re-factoring, adaptable/autonomic middleware, etc), networking (software-defined networking, ad-hoc peer-to-peer networks, social private networks, etc), computer systems (virtualization, distributed computing, etc). The work will also provide techniques and middleware for distributed cyberinfrastructure supportive of mobile-hosted apps for science and education (e.g. middleware for virtual networking, social collaboration, resource virtualization and virtual appliances for different domains). By studying the mobile application-induced workload at the lowest layers of the systems software stack, such as the VMM, the project will identify how these layers can be improved to better support such workloads.The project will advance the fundamental understanding of multiple technical issues faced in enabling flexible end-to-end management of cloud-supported mobile applications. Methods are needed to (re)implement applications so that their software architectures can reconfigure in response to changes in requirements as the environment changes, and to allow for runtime re-factoring of components for execution locally or remotely. Virtual networking techniques are needed to enable seamless off-loading of computation from a device to remote resources possibly provided by multiple clouds. In addition, both software adaptation and network configuration must be done on demand.

该项目需要进行有关软件工程的研究（例如，对软件体系结构，软件体系结构模型的映射要求及其适应性，软件重新输入，适应性/自动中间件等），网络（软件定义的网络，临时peer-peer-peer-to-peer-to-to-to--同行网络，社交专用网络等），计算机系统（虚拟化，分布式计算等）。这项工作还将为分布式网络基础架构提供有关科学和教育的移动托管应用程序的技术和中间件（例如，用于虚拟网络，社会协作，资源虚拟化和针对不同领域的虚拟设备的中间件）。通过在系统软件堆栈的最低层（例如VMM）研究移动应用程序诱导的工作量，该项目将确定如何改进这些层以更好地支持此类工作量。该项目将促进对多个技术问题的基本了解面对云支持移动应用程序的灵活端到端管理。需要（重新）实现应用程序，以便其软件体系结构可以随着环境的变化而重新配置需求的变化，并允许在本地或远程执行的组件重新分组。需要虚拟网络技术来实现从设备到可能由多个云提供的远程资源的无缝卸载。此外，必须按需完成软件适应和网络配置。
