1. “NECOS focuses on Cloud Slicing as a novel approach to provide
uniform management and automation features over federated
data centres and network domains, introducing lightweight
processes and technologies to deliver simplified and
resource-efficient usage of the currently separated computing,
connectivity and storage domains."
Dr. David Moura, University of Campinas
BR Partner of NECOS project
Novel Enablers for Cloud Slicing
NECOS is funded by the European Commission under the Cooperation Programme, Horizon 2020 grant agreement No 777067. Este
projeto é resultante da 4ª Chamada Coordenada BR-UE em Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), anunciada pela Rede
Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa (RNP) e pelo Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações (MCTIC)

4th EU-BR Coordinated Call
(H2020-EUB-2017)

2. Goals
» The NECOS platform will be based
on state of the art open software
platforms, which will be carefully
selected, rather than start from
scratch.
» This baseline platform will be
enhanced with the management
and orchestration algorithms and
the APIs that will constitute the
research activity of the project.
» The NECOS platform will be
validated, in the context of the two
proposed use cases, using the
5TONIC and FIBRE testing
frameworks.
Objectives & Focus
» Solve the limitations of current cloud
computing infrastructures to respond to the
demand of new services.
» Make a reference implementation as a proof
of concept of Slice as a Service, being a
solution to the challenges posed in the
provisioning and management of
cloud-based services.
The NECOS project addresses the limitations of current cloud computing infrastructures to respond to the demand of new
services, as presented in two use-cases, that will drive the whole execution of the project.
Expected results
» Novel solution based on resource
virtualization - Lightweight Slice Defined
Cloud (LSDC) - as an approach for
automating the process of optimal cloud
configuration by extending the virtualiza-
tion concept to all resources in a data
centre.
» Provide an uniform management with a
high-level of autonomicity for the currently
separated computing,
connectivity and storage
resources.
