Cloud Open Source Research Mobility Network
A Global Community In Open-Source Cloud Computingmany Tasks On Our Smart Phones Are Taken For Granted. Access To Storage, Files, Software And Servers Via Internet-Connected Devices Relies On Cloud Computing Technology. The Msca-Funded Cloudstars Project Intends To Establish A Global Reference Community In Open-Source Cloud Computing. The Project Brings Together 11 Academic Institutions In Nine European Countries (Austria, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Spain, Switzerland And The United Kingdom), Two Eu Companies, And Three Industrial Laboratories From Ibm (Israel, Switzerland And The United States). It Will Combine Theoretical Skills And Experience In Distributed Systems Research With Industrial Open-Source Technologies And Advanced Cloud And Edge Infrastructures. The Results Will Increase The Comprehensive Global Impact Of European Researchers, Reaching Millions Of Interested Third Parties Through Open-Source Communities.

Objective
CloudStars is an Open Source Research Mobility network in the field of Cloud Computing technology. The proposal combines eleven academic institutions in nine European countries (Spain, Portugal, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Poland, Switzerland), two companies in Europe (SAP in Germany, NearBy Computing in Spain), and three industrial laboratories from IBM (USA, Switzerland, and Israel). The major flow of secondments is scheduled between the academic institutions and IBM industrial labs, but also including a significant number of secondments to SAP and NearBy Computing.
CloudStars will create a global reference community in open source Cloud Computing. The participants will combine theoretical skills and
experience in distributed systems research with industrial open source technologies and cutting-edge Cloud and Edge infrastructures. This will increase the overall global impact of research contributions, helping to arrive to millions of interested third parties through open source communities.
The general goals of the project are:
1. Increase the impact of European researchers with contributions to key open source projects and the involvement in open source communities.
2. Rise the careers of European researchers through well-established networks both across EU and with global open source players.
3. Increase the reproducibility of results in Science and Data Analytics through standard Cloud container technologies.
Technical goals are:
1. Development and benchmarking of next generation container technologies leveraging open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects and GAIAX protocols.
2. Design novel cloud serverless middleware over container technologies including Function as a Service, serverless
