SIDE - SWITCH Interactive Development Environment

The SWITCH Interactive Development Environment (SIDE) is a subsystem of SWITCH, responsible for the specification of an application for deployment in a Cloud. SIDE is responsible for ensuring that a given application can be implemented in a cloud context in accordance with both the desires of the developers and the limitations of the cloud providers; it is also responsible for allowing an application to be monitored and controlled by the developer at runtime.

(Note: SWITCH is part of TRUSTEE (daTa pRivacy and cloUd SecuriTy clustEr Europe), a network of 11 research projects funded by the European Union which are all performing cutting-edge research and innovation in different domains of cloud security and privacy, ranging from secure and privacy-friendly authentication over encrypted and distributed solutions for data sharing and cloud storage to data integrity, authenticity, and availability.)
