Abstract
The SwarmOS will mediate the needs of applications for services and clusters of resources where resource clusters may be, for example, a portion of a processor's resources, or a slice of bandwidth. We refer to guaranteed resource clusters as cells. The SwarmOS must be distributed, resource aware, governed by service-level contracts, capable of restricting admission and of guaranteeing access to critical services. It must function in a heterogeneous network, where multiple technologies are combined and where connectivity may be disrupted or only available sporadically. The SwarmOS will provide a cross-platform implementation of the cell concept, exploiting hardware mechanisms for resource isolation, security, and metering where available. Building on cells, the SwarmOS will provide a variety of standard system services as well as mechanisms for service advertisement and discovery. The outcome of this task will be an operational prototype of the SwarmOS.
