[Tccc] Master/Bachelor Thesis or Internship at SAP Research in Zurich, Switzerland for EU FP7 project GEYSERS

Master/Bachelor Thesis or Internship @ SAP Research (Project: GEYSERS)
======================================================================

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
======================
SAP Research Centers in Zurich and St. Gallen support SAP's long-term strategy through technology research. Located to the campus of ETH Zurich and University of St. Gallen (HSG), the SAP Research Center in Zurich focuses on application-oriented research in the areas of Smart Items and Enterprise Service Architectures. This combines SAP's technological know-how with the expertise of ETH Zurich and the leading business school of St. Gallen.

The objective of the EU-funded research project 'GEYSERS' (Generalised Architecture for Dynamic Infrastructure Services; http://www.geysers.eu) is to bring cloud computing to the next level by designing and implementing a novel optical network architecture able to support 'Optical Network + Any-IT' resource provisioning seamlessly and efficiently (also covering the aspect of energy efficiency). In other words, 'GEYSERS' aims to come up with a holistic approach to cloud computing that enables service providers to provision services composed from various resources ranging from 'classic' cloud resources such as computing power and storage space as well as network and application resources through an end-to-end management framework.

SAP's contributions to the GEYSERS project include:
- Business scenario and requirements engineering
- Architecture and design definition and validation
- Testbed design and implementation, proof-of concept
- Internal transfer projects

We provide you with the possibility to extend your practical experience and deepen your theoretical knowledge in systems development (cloud computing, SLA management and SAP integration). Your contribution will support the technical integration of GEYSERS with SAP solutions.

The concrete topic of a bachelor/master thesis can be tailored to your skills and research interests and is open to include further ideas and suggestions. Moreover, skilled students can be involved in scientific publications and patents.
