S. Dustdar:
"Elastic Computing - Towards a new Paradigm for Computer Systems";
Talk: Academia Europaea 27th Annual Conference 2015 "Symbiosis - Synergy of Humans & Technology", R&D Trends and Challenges in Informatics I, Darmstadt, Germany (invited); 2015-09-07 - 2015-09-10.

In this talk Prof. Schahram Dustdar will address one of the most relevant challenges for a decade to come: How to integrate the Internet of Things with software, people, and processes, considering modern Cloud Computing and Elasticity principles. Elasticity is seen as one of the main characteristics of Cloud Computing today. Is elasticity simply scalability on steroids? In this talk I will discuss the main principles of elasticity, present a fresh look at this problem, and examine how to integrate people, software services, and things into one composite system, which can be modeled, programmed, and deployed on a large scale in an elastic way. This novel paradigm has major consequences on how we view, build, design, and deploy ultra-large scale systems.
