Cloud computing is a computing paradigm that enables pervasive access to computing resources through the internet. Cloud providers deliver computing infrastructure as service or software as a service to tenants who pay as per use and do not need heavy upfront investments on hardware and software. Cloud computing is enabling novel internet of things based applications that take advantage of cloud computation power and communication bandwidth. Cloud computing is at the brink of massive scale deployment or ubiquity. The main obstacles are availability, security and management.Cloud systems must be scalable, adapt to the workload and make efficient use of resources, efficient, i.e. exhibit the required level of performance, and available as we will be more and more dependent on cloud services. On the other hand, cloud systems undergo very frequent upgrades, to remain available these upgrades must be performed live, i.e. while the system is providing services.The proposed research program, led by the Industrial Research Chair, will provide a distinct advantage to the Canadian computing and telecommunications industries. Through investigations on modeling, requirement engineering, configuration techniques, Service Level Agreement management, monitoring architectures, dynamic reconfiguration, live upgrade and live testing and diagnosis, the quality, dependability and management of cloud systems will be considerably improved.Continued collaboration with Ericsson, a major player in telecommunications Research and Development in Canada, will ensure that the developed architectures and techniques, and the derived tools will be transferred to a highly productive user. Graduate students will be involved at each stage of this program of research; it is our goal to provide these students with an exceptional level of experience at both Concordia and Ericsson's facilities so that they may enter the workforce with the skills required to strengthen the position of Canadian industry in the global market.

云计算是一种通过互联网实现对计算资源的普遍访问的计算范式。云提供商将计算基础设施作为服务或软件作为服务提供给租户，这些租户按使用付费，不需要在硬件和软件上进行大量的前期投资。云计算正在实现基于物联网的新应用，这些应用利用云计算能力和通信带宽。云计算正处于大规模部署或普及的边缘。主要的障碍是可用性、安全性和管理。云系统必须是可扩展的，适应工作负载并有效利用资源，高效，即表现出所需的性能水平，并且可用，因为我们将越来越依赖云服务。另一方面，云系统经常进行升级，为了保持可用性，这些升级必须实时执行，即在系统提供服务的同时。拟议的研究计划由工业研究主席领导，将为加拿大计算和电信行业提供明显的优势。通过对建模、需求工程、配置技术、服务水平协议管理、监控架构、动态重新配置、实时升级和实时测试与诊断等方面的研究，云系统的质量、可靠性和管理将得到显著改善。与加拿大电信研发领域的主要参与者爱立信的持续合作将确保开发的架构和技术，并且衍生的工具将被转移给高效的用户。研究生将参与该研究计划的每个阶段;我们的目标是为这些学生提供Concordia和爱立信设施的特殊经验水平，以便他们可以进入劳动力市场，掌握加强加拿大工业在全球市场地位所需的技能。
