The Project OASIS (Openly Accessible Services and Interacting Society)

Public authorities have been designing and developing several initiatives for more than ten years in the attempt to guarantee an easy access and a wide offer of on-line services to citizens. Moreover, public authorities should guarantee a common heritage of data, accessible for any person at the same conditions. Despite of these initiatives, public bodies are still often dependent on software vendors. The European project OASIS aims to place the user at the center of a sustainable ecosystem where data, described by an open format, are shared among interoperable and reusable services. This approach allows public authorities to reduce costs, citizens to benefit of a wide range of high quality services and service providers to access to linked data for the development of new applications. Providers can also be part of the OASIS ecosystem, thus benefiting of an open a sustainable economic model. This manuscript describes in the details motivations behind the OASIS project and the portal Ozwillo, presents the platform architecture and discusses preliminary results

Conception and Development Tools for SCOrWare - Version 2.0

The SCOrWare project objectives are to develop: ● A runtime platform for deploying, executing, and managing SCA based applications. ● A set of development tools for modeling, designing, and implementing SCA based applications. ● A set of demonstrators. This document specifies the set of tools used to design, develop, test, and deploy elements to build a distributed architecture compound of components, services, and business services. These tools are based on standards like MDA (Model Driven Architecture) [1], DSL (Domain Specific Language) [2], SCA (Service Component Architecture), and are build on top of Eclipse. Some of these tools complete currently available tools proposed in the SOA Tools Platform (STP) project [3], and others are specific to the SCOrWare project. Section 1.1 lists existing STP tools, and Section 1.2 gives an overview of the contributions of the developed SCOrWare tools, and a summary of next chapters

Usage Analysis & Demonstrators - Version 2.0

This second version of the "Usage Analysis and Demonstrators " document mainly presents four case studies done during the second part of the SCOrWare project: ● (Task 3.1) Component and service-oriented architecture in the Scientific Software field (improvements of works done during the first year) ● (Task 3.2) SCA as a SOA design methodology in the domain of CDE (Collaborative Development Environment). Following the withdraw of one of the partners (eXo Platform, provider of an open-source portal solution) during the first year, some changes have been decided during the second part of the project and an alternative demonstrator has been designed. ● (Task 3.3) How SCA contributes to reusing and enriching software components. Following the first year project's review, this scenario has been reinforced, and is the major demonstrator for the SCOrWare platform in the field of enterprise business applications. ● (Task 3.5) Using the SCOrWare platform and a component-oriented architecture in the context of a network monitoring system. A new partner (Thales Communications, in collaboration with Open Wide and EBM Websourcing) has joined the SCOrWare consortium during the second part of the project, following the withdraw of Amadeus

OCCIware - A Formal and Tooled Framework for Managing Everything as a Service

International audienceThe OCCIware project aims at building a comprehensive, coherent while modular model-driven toolchain for managing any kinds of cloud resources, especially Data Center as a Service, Deployment as a Service, Big Data as a Service, and Linked Open Data as a Service. Lever-aging the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) and its core model, the OCCIware toolchain applies a model-driven engineering approach based on a formal model of cloud resources and systems. This approach allows for better modularity, clear separation between functional (cloud resources) and non-functional concerns (security, scalability, reliability, etc.). The project brings together ten French partners-academics, SMEs, associations-and is supervised by a Strategic Orientation Committee of eleven top industrial and academic experts. The OCCIware project has been selected by French Ministry of Industry and funded by French Banque Publique d'Investissement (BPI)
