    PhD in Computer Science, SAP Technology Research in Zurich,

    SwitzerlandPURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

    ============ ========= =

    SAP Research Centers in Zurich and St. Gallen support SAP's long-term strategythrough technology research. Located to the campus of ETH Zurich and University of

    St. Gallen (HSG), the SAP Research Center in Zurich focuses on application- oriented

    research in the areas of Smart Items and Enterprise Service Architectures. This

    combines SAP's technological know-how with the expertise of ETH Zurich and the

    leading business school of St. Gallen.

    The objective of the EU-funded research project 'GEYSERS' (Generalised Architecture

    for Dynamic Infrastructure Services;http://www.geysers.eu) is to bring cloud

    computing to the next level by designing and implementing a novel optical network

    architecture able to support 'Optical Network + Any-IT' resource provisioningseamlessly and efficiently (also covering the aspect of energy efficiency). In other

    words, 'GEYSERS' aims to come up with a holistic approach to cloud computing that

    enables service providers to provision services composed from various resources

    ranging from 'classic' cloud resources such as computing power and storage space as

    well as network and application resources through an end-to-end management

    framework.

    SAPs contributions to the GEYSERS project include:

    - Business scenario and requirements engineering

    - Architecture and design definition and validation

    - Testbed design and implementation, proof-of concept

    - Internal transfer projects
