Title:
Automated Application Deployment and Staging using Code
Generation in
Elba Project
ABSTRACT
Large N-Tier applications running in data centers have complex
deployment requirements and dependencies that change
frequently. The
increasing complexity and scalability requirements of such
applications demand automated design, testing, deployment and
monitoring of applications. The goal of Elba project is creating
automated staging and testing of complex enterprise systems before
deployment to production. Automating the staging process
lowers the
cost of testing applications and improves its reliability. Elba
software tools extract test parameters from production
specifications,
such as SLAs, and deployment specifications, and via the Mulini
generator, create staging plans for the application. A benchmark
application, the TPC-W, is used to validate the generated
configuration. Simple learning tools identify system
bottlenecks and
refine application deployments based on performance and cost.
Biography of Calton Pu
Professor and John P. Imlay, Jr. Chair in Software
College of Computing
Georgia Institute of Technology
Calton Pu was born in Taiwan and grew up in Brazil. He
received his
PhD from University of Washington in 1986 and served on the
faculty of
Columbia University and Oregon Graduate Institute. Currently,
he is
holding the position of Professor and John P. Imlay, Jr. Chair in
Software at the College of Computing, Georgia Institute of
Technology.
He is currently working on three areas. First, he is using
automated
code generation techniques to automate and ensure the correct
deployment of large scale N-tier applications in the Elba project.
Second, he is investigating software and statistical techniques to
defend against Denial of Information attacks in areas such as
email
and web spam. Third, he is working on the application of
specialization and other techniques to ensure the reliability,
trust,
and security of system and application software. He has been the
principal investigator of the Infosphere, Synthetix, and Immunix
projects, with technical contributions such as Epsilon
Serializability, Reflective Transaction Framework, and Continual
Queries over the Internet. His collaborations include
applications of
these techniques in scientific research on macromolecular
structure
data, weather data, and environmental data, as well as in
industrial
settings. He has published more than 50 journal papers and book
chapters, 150 conference and refereed workshop papers, and
served on
more than 100 program committees, including the co-PC chairs of
SRDS'95, ICDE'99, COOPIS'02, SRDS'03, and co-general chair of
ICDE'97,
CIKM'01, ICDE'06.
