SM4ALL Project

TUW has been involved in the following EU projects:

 

DeDiSys (Dependable Distributed Systems): DeDiSys provides concepts for optimized dependability for two classes of distributed systems: Tightly coupled, data-centric systems such as distributed object systems and loosely coupled, service-oriented systems such as Web service based Grid systems or peer-to-peer systems. The major focus of DeDiSys is on optimized dependability by adaptively balancing (trading) availability and constraint consistency. The aim of DeDiSys is to answer the following question: Can some of the data and service constraints be adaptively negotiated and (temporarily) relaxed to improve the availability of the distributed system?

 

inContext project strives to enable dynamic collaboration by exploring new techniques and algorithms for pro-active service aggregation, context-aware service adaptation and service provisioning. New team forms emerge spontaneously, featuring dynamic interaction patterns which are currently not supported by existing software services. Team types such as virtual, nimble, or mobile/nomadic evolve and merge to reflect the vibrant nature of human interaction. To enable efficient collaboration among team members and effective participation of individuals in multiple teams at the same time, collaboration environments need to exhibit capabilities for large-scale interaction, peer-to-peer communication, and loose coupling in a trusted serviced-oriented way.
