Initial 2016 HOLACloud Roadmap

The HOLACloud initial 2016 roadmap has been generated by a process similar to that for 2015 using the input to the CLOUD Forward Conference 2016. The analysis of the position papers, and ideas from the scientific papers, provided the synopsis of future R&I (Research and Innovation) topics. These are: advanced systems development method(s) based on model-driven technology; placement and locality of data, software, resources and users; autonomic SLA management pervasively through the software stack including trust, security and privacy; interoperability both across hybrid CLOUD platforms and across heterogeneity of data and software. Business models for CLOUD Computing and beyond featured less prominently than in 2015.
