A novel development paradigm for deploying applications over programmable infrastructure

Given the inability of application developers to foresee the changes as well as the heterogeneity on the underlying networking and computational infrastructure, it is considerable crucial the design and development of novel software paradigms that facilitate application developers to take advantage of the emerging programmability of the underlying infrastructure and therefore develop reconfigurable by design applications. In parallel, it is crucial to design solutions that are scalable, support high performance, are resilient-to-failure and take into account the conditions in their runtime environment. Towards this direction, this position paper proposes a novel reconfigurable by design applications development paradigm over programmable infrastructure.
