PhD Research: Cloud Networking, cloud Computing, Video Streaming over the cloud
Cloud computing has successfully addressed many of challenges these days, using virtualization as a core technique. It is still unclear how to provide suitable network support for such highly variable applications when they run not just over the tightly controlled, custom-tailored network of a cloud-computing operator, but rather inside more complex and diverse operator networks. In such a network, it might be possible to provide the computational resources, but it is not obvious how to dynamically provide the necessary networking support/capacity or the complex networking topology required. Furthermore, security in both networks and cloud computing is a key challenge to success. One needs an integration of network resource management with cloud computing, an integration of provisioning distributed cloud resources with the network services to connect such distributed resources reliably at a required quality.
