Towards a standards-based cloud service manager
Migrating services to the cloud brings all the benefits of elasticity, scalability and cost-cutting. However, migrating services among different cloud infrastructures or outside of the cloud is not an obvious
The captivating AROM of distributed processing
Last month we have had the opportunity to present AROM at the 4th IEEE International Conference on Cloud Computing Technology and Science (CLOUDCOM) in Taipei, the beautiful capital of Taiwan. For the
Arom: processing big data with data flow graphs and functional programming
The development in computational processing has driven towards distributed processing frameworks performing tasks in parallel setups. The recent advances in Cloud Computing have widely contributed to this tendency. The MapReduce
Data flow graph & stream processing closer than ever
This year we started a research project, named AROM, in collaboration with the Université Libre de Bruxelles. We wanted to evaluate a Data Flow Graph (DFG) processing framework and compare it
Releasing Okku
I am pleased to announce the release of the Okku library. Okku is a Clojure wrapper around the Akka library. Very briefly, Akka brings the Actor model to the Scala programming language,
EURA NOVA Publications in 2011
As we usually do at the end of the year, we will try to summarize the activities led at EURA NOVA R&D during this year. In this post I come
EQS: an elastic and scalable message queue for the cloud
With the emergence of cloud computing, on-demand resources usage is made possible. This allows applications to elastically scale out according to the load. One design pattern that suits this paradigm
