The objectives of the proposed research are to investigate selected theoretical and experimental topics related to the application of computers in an industrial milieu. This is a continuation and a development on a new level of the applicant's on-going research works. This research area witnessed dramatic changes and evolutions in the last few years on both the hardware and software sides. Complex applications for the enterprise supervision and control, such as CRM, ERP, BI, etc pushed the computer technologies towards new boundaries. Recent evolutions in the distributed computing paradigm fundamentally changed the way that enterprise supervision and control architectures were designed. Growing adoption of cloud based services, virtualization and autonomic computing requires new architectural models, while new dimensions such as user mobility and collaboration have stretched the research in this field at its extremes. Industry analysts (Gartner Quadrants) report that there is a strong need for converged, collaborative, unified and self-managed products or platforms capable to seamlessly provide supervision and control applications across the enterprise. Consequently, for the present phase of our research, we propose to investigate new distributed computing models disrupting the traditional way of offering services and applications at the enterprise level. The research will be focused on fundamental and experimental aspects of new models for autonomic computing, peer-to-peer, web-services and cloud computing technologies in the design of enterprise supervision and control architectures.By analogy with the communication equipment we call information fabric the blending of communication and computing resources in a web based service. We therefore investigate subjects related to the architecture and its components, in which the control of the information fabric is central. We consider the fabric being formed by on-the-cloud clusters controlled by autonomic computing servers endowed with special self-organizing algorithms. These subjects will be the objectives of this proposal. A part of our research efforts will be dedicated to the investigation of reconfigurable architectures as applied to the control of information fabric.

拟议的研究的目标是调查选定的理论和实验课题有关的计算机在工业环境中的应用。这是申请人正在进行的研究工作在新水平上的延续和发展。在过去的几年里，这个研究领域在硬件和软件方面都发生了巨大的变化和演变。CRM、ERP、BI等复杂的企业监控应用将计算机技术推向了新的边界。分布式计算模式的最新发展从根本上改变了企业监控体系结构的设计方式。基于云的服务、虚拟化和自主计算的日益普及需要新的架构模型，而用户移动性和协作等新维度已经将该领域的研究推向了极致。行业分析师（Gartner Quadrants）报告称，企业迫切需要能够在整个企业范围内无缝提供监督和控制应用程序的融合、协作、统一和自我管理的产品或平台。因此，在我们的研究的现阶段，我们建议研究新的分布式计算模型，破坏传统的方式提供服务和应用程序在企业级。研究将集中在基础和实验方面的自主计算，对等，Web服务和云计算技术的新模型在企业监控架构的设计。通过类比的通信设备，我们称之为信息结构的混合通信和计算资源在基于Web的服务。因此，我们调查的主题相关的架构及其组件，其中控制的信息结构是中央。我们认为织物正在形成的云集群控制的自主计算服务器赋予特殊的自组织算法。这些主题将是本提案的目标。我们的研究工作的一部分将致力于调查的可重构架构，适用于控制的信息织物。
