Technological Impact Sample Clauses

Technological Impact. One of the key obstacles to deploying large-scale applications running on networks such as the Internet or company intranets is how to keep the application running despite changes in its computing environment, i.e., application management as defined in SELFMAN. Currently many specialized personnel are needed to keep large Internet applications running. SELFMAN will remove this obstacle, and thus enable the development of many more Internet applications and Internet-based companies that depend on such applications. In particular, France Telecom and Stakk are both interested in this aspect of SELFMAN. France Telecom R&D expects the results of SELFMAN to support the future decisions of France Telecom on large-scale network architectures and service and IT platforms. France Telecom is currently confronted with the increasing software complexity and diversity of these architectures and platforms. The administration and exploitation of such systems is relatively labour-intensive due to round-the-clock monitoring and trouble-shooting in order to guarantee continuous high availability of the system as a whole. If the system itself becomes more autonomous and is able to take charge of its own monitoring and (re)configuration, this will represent important gains in operating costs for telcos (and ISPs). Of course, one might say that peer-to-peer VoIP systems such as Skype already have reduced costs because there is no centralized administration by specialist teams. This hides the fact that end-users of such systems take on some of the burden of administration of their individual system and also that guaranteeing end-to-end connectivity and availability in such peer- to-peer systems is still an open problem. Stakk works in the area of P2P video streaming. Stakk is built on advances in P2P networks as well as optimization techniques. The main model adopted by Stakk is that P2P techniques are used to gather global information about peers watching live streams, e.g., bandwidth, delays, physical location, peer capacity, NATs, etc. A server farm is used to optimize the network connectivity between peers based on the gathered global information. Stakk sees in SELFMAN an opportunity to architect its server farm in a scalable and self-managed way. The traditional approaches for building such a server farm are inadequate for the desired functionality since there is more than one server farm in different network location, i.e. Point of Presence (POP). SELFMAN results would be ...
