Under the agreement, a research grant will be awarded to the principal investigator Dr. Karthick Seshadri, Assistant Professor, NIT-AP and Co-Investigator Dr. Nagesh Bhattu Sristy, Assistant Professor, NIT-AP, for solving open research problems in enabling intelligent and elastic cloud computing.

Speaking about the initiative, Prof. Rao said the association of the two organisations would enable joint research in the niche area of intelligent cloud computing and in fostering research to address industry-relevant problems by academia.

“I appreciate the researchers at NIT-AP for providing extensive training to their research team on Statistical Modeling, Cloud Computing and Machine Learning, to impart the necessary technical know-how for meeting the objectives of the first MoU,” Prof. Rao said.

“Scaling is a big challenge in a cloud environment and truly elastic model is typically viewed as a financial optimization problem; however, we have attempted to explore the technical implications underlying this problem. To address the problem of scaling, there is a need for an efficient workload characterization model. I am happy to remark that this collaboration has been promising and fruitful in our steps to realize a truly elastic cloud,” Kollengode said.
