Improving Quality of Large-scale Software: Cloud-based and Quantum-computing-based Solutions

该提案旨在减轻软件开发和维护过程中出现的两组风险。第一组与构建强大的大规模云解决方案有关。第二组是量子计算机出现和应用日益广泛的结果。我们的目标是改善云系统的健康监测，使软件量子安全，提高量子计算机上运行的软件质量，并借助量子计算机加快软件工程任务。预期结果将提升云服务(从关键服务到电子商务平台)的健壮性。此外，他们将通过展示如何使软件产品(如网络浏览器和数据库)更安全来使它们更安全。此外，它们还将提高量子计算机的软件质量，这可能会促进各个领域的研究和开发(例如，物理、化学和药理学)。

This proposal aims to mitigate two groups of risks that emerge during software development and maintenance. The first group pertains to building robust large-scale Cloud solutions. The second group is the result of the emergence and growing application of quantum computers. Our objectives are to improve health monitoring of Cloud systems, make software quantum-safe, improve the quality of software running on quantum computers, and speed up software engineering tasks with the help of quantum computers. The expected results would boost the robustness of Cloud services (from critical services to e-commerce platforms). Moreover, they will make software products (such as web browsers and databases) more secure by showing how to make them quantum-safe. Furthermore, they will improve the software quality for quantum computers, which may facilitate research and development in various fields (for instance, physics, chemistry, and pharmacology).
