The project

The main objective of SmartCLIDE is to overcome the previous limitations by proposing a radically new smart cloud-native development environment, based on the coding-by-demonstration principle , that will support creators of cloud services in the discovery, creation, composition, testing and deployment of full-stack data-centred services and applications in the cloud.

SmartCLIDE will provide high level abstractions at all stages (requirements, design, development, testing, deployment and run-time) as well as self-discovery of IaaS and SaaS Services. SmartCLIDE will provide several categories of abstractions: at development stage, SmartCLIDE will provide abstractions on data transformations or processing; at testing stage, mechanisms to visualize flow and status or artefacts to automatically test the expected  behaviour; at deployment stage, abstractions of physical and virtual resources; or at run-time, mechanisms to monitor the performance and operation of the service.

The cloud nature of the environment will enable collaboration between different stakeholders, and the self-discovery of IaaS and SaaS services and the high levels of abstraction will facilitate the composition and deployment of new services to non-technical staff (with no previous experience on programming or on the administration of systems and

infrastructure). Equally, hiding the complexity of the infrastructure, and adding intelligence to this layer, will allow to select the most adequate infrastructure services in each case.

SmartCLIDE will allow SMEs and Public Administration to boost the adoption of Cloud and Big Data solutions, being validated at one solution oriented to Public Administration (Social Security System) and three different IoT and Big Data products of software development SMEs within the consortium.

WTG'S OBJECTIVES

  • To provide a Cloud Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
  • To design and implement a Services Composition Service that allows end-users to create control, data and operations abstractions and combine them for the creation of new services.
  • To design and implement an Abstractions/Services Discovery Service that will allow to import existing abstractions from external repositories.
  • To design and implement a Deep Learning Engine.
  • To validate and assess the SmartCLIDE solution in four different pilot cases.

WTG'S ROLE

  • Pilot end-user performing several RTD activities.
  • Specification of requirements and Use Cases, as well as the assessment and execution of the different scenarios.
  • Lead the research activity related to the deployment phase of the life-cycle.
  • Definition of the architecture and integration tasks.
  • They also participate in Dissemination and Exploitation activities.
