eOS - the dawn of the resource economy

Summary form only given. We believe that achieving the benefits of a resource economy, which supports the execution of services wherever and whenever is most convenient, cost-effective, and trustworthy, represents the next big computer systems research opportunity. That is, the emphasis in the operating research community should move away from extracting a few more percentage points of speed from individual computing resources, and focus instead on how to size, provision, and manage those resources to serve the needs of a rapidly diversifying set of services. HP Laboratories are embarking on a major endeavor to pursue this, and are actively seeking research partners to collaborate with us.
