Guidelines

SOFA 2 is a hierarchical component system offering a distributed run-time environment. Cloud computing is a paradigm of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over a net and users do not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure used in the "cloud".

The goal of the thesis is to add a support of cloud computing to the SOFA 2 system. In particular it means to add support for automatic adding/removing computers to/from the cloud, automatic generation of deployment plans of applications based on the current status of the cloud, and appropriate user tools for these actions.
