SPEAKERS

"Cloud Computing is already reality and might become a standard for data share and processing. Knowing that, Brazil and European Commission is doing right about funding research through joint calls. The cooperation path is a two-way street that may foster knowledge, expertise and market.”

Wanderson Paim de Jesus, RNP - Brazil

"As head of UFSC Software/Hardware Integration Lab, Dr. Fröhlich coordinated a series of research projects on Wireless Sensor Networks since 2001. Many of the embedded devices and communication protocols developed for those projects have been consolidated to define a solid basis atop of which LISHA now operates one of the most expressive Internet of Things case in Brazil, featuring a Smart Solar Building, a multicity Environmental Monitoring Network and Smart Grid partnerships with major companies from the Energy sector.

Antônio Augusto Medeiros Fröhlich, UFSC - Brazil

SPEAKERS

"Our research group works on High Performance Computing in Cloud, studying the viability of executing big Applications, or part of their processing, in a cloud environment. So, in the Panel, we will contribute with the discussion of the challenges of processing Big App."

"The Brazilian Institute of Information for Science and Technology (IBICT), and the Brazilian National Research and Education Network (RNP) are engaged in promoting a National Programme for Open Access to Research Data. This programme demands, among other issues, physical and software infrastructure. Some of this infrastructure will be based on data clouds with specific demands to deal with Research Data, such as preservation, privacy, findability. Those challenges seem quite appropriate for the Cloudscape community."

Leonardo Lazarte, Brazilian Institute of Information for Science and Technology - Brazil

"I am particularly interested in the integration of Cloud and Cyber-physical Systems and Systems of Systems, where IoT and Big Data have to merge.
