Stefan Kehrer won the 2018 Young Researcher Award, which was delivered by Prof. Krämer during SummerSOC 2018. The awarded work entitled “Migrating Parallel Applications to the Cloud” is an outcome of Stefan’s ongoing PhD thesis project. It describes a new design-level approach to assess parallel applications from the High Performance Computing domain with respect to their cloud readiness. A novel cloud readiness assessment procedure is described and applied in an extensive case study.

The contribution has been presented at the 12th Symposium and Summer School on Service-Oriented Computing in Crete, Greece and will be published in a special issue of the Springer Journal Computer Science – Research and Development.
