The BonFIRE-ExSec experiment aims to study the impact of scalability and heterogeneity on performance of security solutions. The bottom line of this investigation is to develop an empirical way of quantifying impact on security under various operating conditions and parameters of Cloud deployments.

Experience transfer and knowledge management are known to improve efficiency and competitiveness of organizations. However, focal point of the developed knowledge management approaches is usually the needs of big enterprises that are neither suitable nor applicable to small and very small enterprises. EXTRA’s main goal is to fix this gap by helping SMEs active in the area of software development and delivery to improve their practices. Product quality and customer satisfaction can be increased by capitalising on the company’s previous experiences. The EXTRA handbook provides a set of 9 techniques to improve a company’s knowledge management.

S-CUBE, the Software Services and Systems Network, will establish an
integrated, multidisciplinary and vibrant research community, which
will help enable Europe to lead the software services revolution, in turn
helping to shape the software services-based Internet that will form the
backbone of our future interactive society.

RESERVOIR will enable massive scale deployment and management of complex IT services across different administrative domains, IT platforms and geographies. The project will provide a foundation for a service-based online economy, where - using virtualization technologies - resources and services are transparently provisioned and managed on an on-demand basis at competitive costs with high quality of service. RESERVOIR consortium is coordinated by IBM.

DEPLOY is a research project of the European Commission (FP7) which aims at promoting the use of formal methodology in European industry, and developing industrially scalable formal methods. DEPLOY is a technological answer to the increasing complexity of engineering systems, and to our increasing dependence on automated systems for critical tasks, notably in safety-critical contexts.

The TELECOM project is a research project of the Skywin Competitiveness Cluster, representing the Aerospace industry, which aims at increasing the economic potential of this sector by developing solutions to solve the constraints to which this market is subjected during new developments. Thus, TELECOM is a technological answer to the limits of the economic rise of Wallonia in this field of expertise.

Started in January 2007, the OLDES project aims at developping ICT solutions for the elderly persons to increase their quality of life and wellbeing while staying at home. Besides this technical objective, the project aims at creating a "co-construction" environment in Bologna and Prague in which the future users will be able to efficiently participate to the system definition and elaboration.

Thanks to its expertise in embedded equipment, communication protocols and interfaces, CETIC can design an embedded system dedicated to the acquisition, local processing and transmission of data from various different devices to a remote server.

The 3WSA project enables Walloon companies to take a more competitive position with respect to the technological tools necessary to build secured geomatic service platforms.
