Projects - 7th Framework Program

The PaaSage project aims at delivering an open and integrated platform to support model based lifecycle management of Cloud applications. The platform and the accompanying methodology allow model-based development, configuration, optimisation, and deployment of existing and new applications independently of the existing Cloud infrastructures.

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.

PONTE will simplify the whole clinical trials process so that it is easier to come up with an idea and select the right patients. As well as saving money, this will give the public quicker access to drugs that may be able to help them.

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.
