OpenUCI:A .NET Based Utility Computing Framework

Overview Future organizations must handle a very large and complex IT infrastructure that consists of very diverge and highly heterogeneous computing systems. Moreover, the future generation applications must access services and resources regardless of the geographical location, access methods, and domain of authorization. In order to meet these challenging requirements, a very high degree of virtualization has to be implemented using a smart middleware. This is a very challenging problem for both theory and practice. This paper presents a new framework called OpenUCI (Open Utility Computing Infrastructure). The OpenUCI project aims to explore the innovative design of scalable and flexible software infrastructure that manages large scale heterogeneous distributed system ranging from large Server, PC, and Mobile Devices.
