A New Data Paradigm: Intelligent and Self-Managed Data – SKYDATA

Nowadays, who controls the data, controls the world or at least the IT
world. Usually Data are managed through a middleware, but in this
project, we propose a new data paradigm without any data manager. We
want to endow the data with autonomous behaviors and thus create a new
entity, so-called Self-managed data. We plan to develop a distributed
and autonomous environment, that we call SKYDATA, where the data are
regulated by themselves. This change of paradigm represents a huge
and truly innovative challenge! This goal must be built on the
foundation of a strong theoretical study and knowledge on autonomic
computing, since Self-managed data will now have to obtain and compute
the services they need in autonomy. We also plan to actually develop a
SKYDATA framework prototype and a green-IT use case that focuses data
energy coonsumption. SKYDATA will be compliant with GDPR through the
targeted datas and some internal process.
