ICT40 - Zero waste clouds

# ICT40 - Zero waste clouds ###### tags: `UPC` `proposal` # Comments from the reviewers **** GENERAL **** S1 * Delta not clearly described * starting point (this is what is already existing) * detination point (this is what we want to acheive) * Why * How is it achieved? * How is it measuered? Applies at least to: - Middleware - Testbeds, e.g. - how EE is integrated? - how they improve the proposal - how they contribute to show the 30% reduction? - how the testbeds improve them selves, e.g. TRL7 -> TRL8 * Industrial applicability not properly addressed * no big cloud provider in the consortium to understand their needs, technology, etc. * [ ] More focus on software production * [ ] Section exploitation * Which devices are targeted? home routers, PCs, etc.? Applies at least to: - Architecture - Testbeds * Output clearly defined * e.g. at the end of the project a toolkit that can do this and this will be available S2 * Explain * how the project contributes to save energy (50%?) * the motivation * Which problems of the green energy economy are we solving? * What are the added values? * how better are we than others * Specific examples * to illustrate the concept * to understand what can be expected and measured S3 * Task * starting point * outcome * who needs the results * how are they achieved * how do you test the results and know that something is ready * what are the dependencies * expected problems, risk management * Deliverables * partners with many deliverables at the same time? * Milestones * must be specific (e.g. MS6 "Use case partners": what kind of tests, which is the acceptance criteria?) * Risks * More specific, e.g. * what happens if some of the assumptions made in the arch are not met? * what happens if Google says no to the APIs because, for instance, they imply to reveal the amount of energy spent? **** SPECIFIC **** * What is the link between the 1.5ºC goal and the proposal? * Concept: give specific examples * Domain? Data centres are very efficient already. Home PCs? * If sharing private resources * Security * Will I have to compete for my own resources? * Real time aspects * quick response * Obstacles foreseen * How are they addressed? * Would love to see the top 5 definitions of interfaces, SDKs, etc. such that is clear what can be expected/measured * SDK/interfaces: must be clearly defined ```mermaid gantt dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD title GANTT diagram section 0 Concept Timeline :active, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-06-17 Diagrams :active, dia1, 2020-04-08, 2020-04-22 Spreadsheet :active, spread1, after dia1, 7d section 1 Excellence (Leandro - Vlado) Introduction :1intro, after spread1, 14d 1.1 Objectives :1obj, after spread1, 14d 1.2 Relation to work prog :1rel, after spread1, 14d 1.3 Concept and methodology :1con, after spread1, 14d 1.4 Ambition :1amb, after spread1, 14d section 2 Impact (Felix - (Roger+Pol)) Introduction :2intro, 2020-05-07, 14d 2.1 Expected impacts :2exp, 2020-05-07, 14d 2.2 Measures to maximise impact :2mea, 2020-05-07, 14d section 3 Implementation (Leandro - Roger) Introduction :3intro, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP1 :3wp1, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP2 :3wp2, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP3 :3wp3, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP4 :3wp4, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP5 :3wp5, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP6 :3wp6, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.1 WP7 :3wp7, 2020-05-14, 7d 3.2 Management structure , milest, procedures :3mgm, 2020-05-21, 7d 3.3 Consortium as a whole :3cons, 2020-05-21, 7d 3.4 Resources to be commited :3res, 2020-05-21, 7d section 4 Consortium (Roger) UPC :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 UL :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 iExec :active, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 guifi :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 Vocdoni :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 Alastria :active, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 DappNode :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 UMel :done, timeline1, 2020-04-07,2020-04-28 Partners' tasks :active, timeline1, after 3wp7,7d section Review (Coordinator?)

Need to find pictures for the other 3 applications. -> Felix will take it. * [ ] Section 1.4.1: For "E2C3 advances:" consider to present bullets for each advance with KPI. This makes the advance clearly identifiable and measurable. -> Shashi and Petar will try bullets for the Advances section. * [x] ~~Section 3.1 Pert chart missing (if space and needed)~~ * [ ] S3.1 is weak and inconsistent * do another round on PMs/task in the xls and update Overleaf. -> check your PM assignment and notify any changes you propose.
