The IRMOS Project: a new generation of Service Oriented Cloud Computing environment

The main objective of IRMOS is to enable real-time interaction and collaboration between people, using distributed multimedia applications running on top of a cloud infrastructure, where processing, storage and networking are delivered with guaranteed levels of service. The IRMOS approach and technical solutions constitute a new generation of Service Oriented Cloud Computing environment. IRMOS addresses the following cloud service models: • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): provided by the IRMOS Intelligent Service Oriented Network Infrastructure (ISONI), including processing, storage and networking resources • Platform as a Service (PaaS): provided by the IRMOS Service Engineering and Service Management tools • Software as a Service (SaaS): provided by a set of tools and a specific methodology for the creation and adaptation of applications for virtualized real-time service infrastructures IRMOS is partially funded by the EC Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2011 under grant agreement n° 214777. www.irmosproject.eu
