Welcome to the 1st PHYSICS Hackathon!
PHYSICS, an EU-funded project under the H2020 program, is developing a toolkit based on the FaaS paradigm. It aims to provide an exciting opportunity for IoT enthusiasts and cybersecurity experts to use PHYSICS testbed to design and develop runtime solutions, opening the door to further high-level research on this topic, or to assess the security and performance level and suggest tailored solutions. The hackathon consists of three challenges, one related to runtime orchestration, one to secured platforms and one to investigating performance issues of FaaS platforms.
About the challenges
The runtime challenge is looking for applications consuming FaaS functions, available at the PHYSICS testbed or developed specifically for the application, integrating external solutions that allow the orchestration of these functions during runtime for executing the application workflow.
The security challenge looks for an evaluation of the platform vulnerabilities as well as the proposal of easy solutions to be implemented.
The performance challenge looks for the usage of PHYSICS-produced load generators and performance monitors in order to detect performance issues of executed functions as well as enable the mitigation of them through relevant corrective actions.
Requirements
What to Submit
At the end of the hackathon, participants will share (via Drive) their code (only for the runtime and performance challenges) and a short presentation (for the three challenges) to introduce their idea so it can be evaluated by the judges.
Additionally, those wanting to promote their participation in the hackathon are invited to short a short pitch video (1-2 minutes) that will be shared through PHYSICS channels.
