6. Key trends in Services and Software market From Products to Services –eServices –Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) –Software as a service Collaborative development of software and distribution ICT infrastructures need for more flexibility and reduction of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) Our societies and economies depend more and more on software –Growing requirements for reliability, security and dependability –Laws, regulations –Habits and culture

7. Technological trends in Services & Software market According to a study by CapGemini in 2006, the key trends are: Internet technologies –IP (Internet Protocol) - based software and systems are gaining importance Digital convergence –Telecommunication, Information- and Internet technologies are integrating – Multimedia services are gaining importance Mobile Services –Increased offering of messaging, information, and mobile office solutions –More customer specific solutions Intelligent Software-Agents –Agents are integrating smaller scale household applications, resulting in an increasing demand for integrating software and local systems solutions Further developments – e.g. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) Source: CapGemini, 2006, http://www.softwareleadership.info/

8. Landscape of FP6 projects in Services & Software

9. State-of-art in services & software research State-of-art is based on the analysis of 44 FP6 projects. Key research areas are: Research on engineering and provision of services and software. Examples: –ambient intelligence services for networked home environments (AMIGO project) –Adaptive services discrovery, creation and enactment (ASG project) –Mobile applications and services (MIDAS project) Foundational research on high-level methods for system design, testing, collaborative, distributive and end-user development. Examples: –Large-scale deployment of model-driven deployment ( MODELWARE project) –Software Product Line development methodology offering modularisation of variations (AMPLE project) –Framework for Generic Configuration Management Framework (COMANCHE project)

10. State-of-art in services & software research Methods and tools for design of complex software systems. Examples: –Solution for complex system engineering improving quality and productivity (MODELPLEX project) –Development of self-healing software system (SHADOW project) Research on the development and deployment of open source software. Examples: –Open-source software development framework (MUSIC project) –Method for benchmarking the quality of open source software (QUALOSS project)

11. FP6 project case study: AMIGO AMIGO: Ambient Intelligence for the networked home environment Objectives: –to research and develop open, standardized, interoperable middleware and intelligent user services for the networked home environment, –which offers users intuitive, personalized and unobtrusive interaction by providing seamless interoperability of services and applications. Instrument: Integrated Project Project website: http://www.hitech-projects.com/euprojects/amigo/

12. FP6 project case study: MIDAS MIDAS: Middleware Platform for Developing and Deploying Advanced Mobile Services Objectives: –MIDAS will define and implement a platform to simplify and speed up the task of developing and deploying mobile applications and services. –It focuses in particular on making it feasible to provide mobile services where: (1) The number of users is very large (e.g. large sports events); (2) The network may need to be set up at short notice, or for limited duration; (3) Infrastructure is limited and some users may have to use ad-hoc communications. Instrument: Specific Targeted Research Project Project website: http://www.ist-midas.org/http://www.ist-midas.org/

13. FP6 project case study: TEAM TEAM: Tightening knowledge sharing in distributed software communities by applying semantic technologies Objectives: –The TEAM project addresses the need for a knowledge sharing environment with advanced capabilities suitable for the distributed engineering and management of software systems. –The TEAM project aims to develop an open-source software system, seamlessly integrated in a software development environment for enabling decentralised, personalised and context-aware knowledge sharing.
