Vertical interactions Sample Clauses

Vertical interactions. The vertical (north/south) interaction introduces new concepts such as aggregation and hierarchical scaling into the picture. A fluid domain can be created by a FLUIDOS “supernode” that aggregates multiple nodes, hence exporting a virtual space that is the union of the resources (and services, objects) of the composing nodes. The supernode-backed fluid domain is created with the same mechanisms already in place for the horizontal interactions; individual nodes are still in control of their own resources (ownership principle) and can withdraw them (if allowed by the signed contract). In addition, a special “tethered mode”, available upon explicit configuration, allows individual nodes to be completely controlled by the supernode, giving up their local intelligence (and thus autonomy and ownership) in exchange for a simplified control plane. This mechanism, for instance, would be used to bring resource-constrained devices, such as micro- controllers, into the FLUIDOS ecosystem. The aggregation paradigm can be applied recursively, with “supernodes” becoming part of a bigger “hyper-fluid domain”, managed by an “hypernode” (or controlled, if the “tethered mode” is enabled), for a theoretically endless number of hierarchical levels. This provides the foundation for the hierarchical scaling property of FLUIDOS (recursive hierarchical architecture, from a single device to domains of domains). In this respect, the north/south interface, which enables interactions with different nodes (either local devices, clusters or other FLUIDOS “supernodes”) all featuring the same interface, will be backed by novel resource aggregation algorithms that can aggregate the resources of each single node (normal, super, etc) in a scalable way. Finally, a FLUIDOS Broker is an aggregation, consolidation, and brokering (i.e., reselling) point that supports also interactions between multiple administrative domains, whose duties include the capability to (1) observe the resources offered by many domains and the associated performance when involved in task offloading; (2) to monitor (and predict) the quality of network connections; (3) to suggest the “best node” when asked for an offloading request. However, given that super/hyper nodes include brokering activities albeit limited within the boundaries of a single admin domain, FLUIDOS will reuse for the above nodes the great part of algorithms (and software) developed for the Broker, assigning to this component a major role in the architec...

  • Research Use The Requester agrees that if access is approved, (1) the PI named in the DAR and (2) those named in the “Senior/Key Person Profile” section of the DAR, including the Information Technology Director and any trainee, employee, or contractor1 working on the proposed research project under the direct oversight of these individuals, shall become Approved Users of the requested dataset(s). Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project). Access to the requested dataset(s) is granted for a period of one (1) year, with the option to renew access or close-out a project at the end of that year. Submitting Investigator(s), or their collaborators, who provided the data or samples used to generate controlled-access datasets subject to the NIH GDS Policy and who have Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval and who meet any other study specific terms of access, are exempt from the limitation on the scope of the research use as defined in the DAR.
