    <p>CSEE research professor <a href="http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/person/html/Karuna/Pande/Joshi/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Karuna Joshi</a> received a $100K grant to develop an advanced prototype for a cloud service broker from the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO). The software system will help companies and organizations negotiate for, select and procure <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">cloud computing</a> services based on a description of their needs and preferences.</p>
    <div><img alt="UMBC research professor Karuna Panda Joshi" src="http://www.csee.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Karuna57-214x300.jpg" width="160" height="225" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div>
    <p><a href="http://tedco.md/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">TEDCO</a> was created by the Maryland State Legislature to facilitate the transfer and commercialization of technology from Maryland’s research universities and federal labs into the marketplace and to assist in the creation and growth of technology-based businesses in Maryland.</p>
    <p>Dr. Joshi’s project will build on a novel framework she developed as part of her PhD dissertation for automating the process lifecycle of cloud services. She designed technology that allowed users to compare different cloud services and determine which were best suited for their needs. Her initial prototype demonstrated a system that could negotiate for and procure storaage services from a provider like Amazon Web Services.</p>
    <p>As part of the TEDCO funded project, Dr. Joshi will develop an commercially viable enhanced cloud broker engine that can be extended to include other services, as well as do more complex matchmaking based on functional and compliance requirements.</p>
