This position is proposed in the framework of the European Cloud-TM
STReP Project (http://www.cloud-tm.eu). Cloud-TM is supported by the FP7
IST Programme and can count on the expertise of an international
consortium is composed of 4 industrial and academic partners from 3
different countries, namely INESC-ID Lisbon (PT), Rome University "La
Sapienza" (IT), Jboss/Red Hat (UK) and Algorithmica (IT).
The R&D engineer will participate in the research and development
activities related to the design and implementation of Cloud-TM, a
distributed middleware platform for Cloud Computing infrastructures.
Cloud-TM will offer an intuitive programming model for large scale
distributed applications that integrates the familiar notion of atomic
transaction as a first-class programming language construct, sparing
programmers from the burden of implementing low level, error-prone
mechanisms (e.g. locking, persistence and fault-tolerance) and
permitting major reductions in the time and cost of the development
process. The Cloud-TM platform will embed a set of autonomic mechanisms
to simplify service monitoring and administration, a major source of
costs in dynamic and elastic environments such as the cloud.
The R&D engineer will be included in an international team of scientists
and take part in regular meetings across Europe.
