Research Coordination Objectives

• Resource analysis and associated costs: the goal is to initiate and coordinate research efforts around a new family of tools, approaches, and methods for analysing the resource demands and costs of applications and systems to raise awareness of current and future demands.
• Models for resource use and requirements: To reason about resource requirements and the trade-offs involved, CERCIRAS aims to coordinate efforts focusing on the construction and validation of cost models and optimizations.
• Trade-offs: Key enablers for resource-aware computing will be the identification, definition, and development of general techniques for trading resources against each other to obtain Pareto-optimal systems, not only in terms of required computing resources, but also considering socio-economic aspects, such as development time and market readiness.
• Use cases: The research efforts that will be enabled by this Action via academia-industry collaborations should allow for fast adoption in several application areas and for a wide-variety of resources, including the Internet-of-Things, home automation, cyber-physical systems, robotics, autonomous vehicles, data centres and cloud computing and the resources mentioned above.
