Previous Projects:
IST-1999-10825 "VESPER - Virtual Home Environment for Service Personalization and Roaming Users "
VESPER defined and demonstrated a service architecture for the provision of VHE across a multi-provider, heterogeneous network and system infrastructure. The project's technical approach was based on the models and service paradigms of TINA and the use of intelligent agent technologies for supporting roaming users with service portability, session mobility and service scalability.

IST-1999-20117 "INTERNODE - Interworking of Nomadic Multi-domain Services"
INTERNODE specified, designed, and implemented a Service Provisioning Support platform for creating multi-domain services for nomadic users-E-business, nomadic Internet and intranet access, personalised services. The platform allows secured mobile data VPNs over GPRS and WLAN by supporting provisioning, access control, configuration of security gateways, charging, and PKI.
Eurescom Project P1101 "Always-On Heterogeneous Services"
The project focused on concepts for adding value to future broadband Always-On (AO) mass-market services and how these services can be delivered to multiple heterogeneous devices. The project's Device Unify Service prototype was used to exploit the characteristics of AO services and provide access to online services from multiple devices-phone, PDA, PC, TV-and from any location.

IST-1999-10069 "AIT-WOODDES - Workshop for Object Oriented Design and Development of Embedded Systems"
WOODDES extended UML (StateCharts or hierarchical state-machines) to be used for the development of embedded systems with real-time requirements. The project focused on tool development that may be used in the design, validation and integration of such systems.
IST-1999-20688 "COSIBA - Best Practice Experiment for Co-Simulation Backplanes"
COSIBA addressed the common needs of major telecom houses for system development with the use of several specification languages (SDL, C, VHDL) at different abstraction levels. The development of the co-modelling backplane allows the reduction of time-to-market and increases the final product quality through the use of IP components and reusable subsystem blocks.
IST-2000-25031 "CORAS - A Platform for Risk Analysis of Security Critical Systems"
CORAS developed a tool-supported methodology for model-based risk assessment and analysis of security-critical systems, integrating aspects from partly complementary risk assessment methods, state-of-the-art modelling methodology and a UML based specification language for security risk assessment.
Start of pageEurescom Project P924 "Distribution and Configuration Support for Distributed PNO Applications"
P924 developed a methodology for bridging the gap between component specification and their configuration and distribution on middleware platforms. The project also defined concepts and a notation for expressing the distribution and static and dynamic configuration aspects for distributed applications and supportive engineering capabilities of services platforms.

IST-1999-20960 "ATTRACT - Advanced Teleworking Techniques and Tele-services for Insurance Agents and Customers"
ATTRACT introduced value-added technologies and business components for the development of enhanced tele-working environments in the insurance sector and the provision of value-added customer services.
IST-1999-27012 "COSMOS - Construction Site Mobile Operation Support"
COSMOS provided a complete solution integrating software and hardware modules for supporting the business processes and the workflow requirements of companies with activities in environments that lack terrestrial communication infrastructure or have frequent relocating activities.
IST-2001-33325 "e-Sharing - Resource Sharing Constellations"
e-Sharing designed, developed and evaluated a service for the efficient management and allocation of a virtual shared resources pool. The project developed an intelligent decision support system that allows companies to describe tasks that need be accomplished and decides on a combination of resources needed for their accomplishment.
IST-1999-20751 "UP-TV - Ubiquitous Personalised Interactive Multimedia TV Systems and Services"
UP-TV developed basic technologies for TV Anytime systems and services. The project addressed the identification of media content that has to be recorded, the placement of those media assets onto single and networked media servers, and the organisation of an efficient and comfortable access to these assets.

IST-1999-11172 "PISTE - Personalised, Immersive Sports TV"
PISTE addressed the provision of tools based on digital video analysis and processing, 3D objects modelling, and 3D-visualisation and animation. PISTE designed a virtual scene modelling language for creating augmented reality views of events, developed tools for the encoding and playback of MPEG-4 interactive multimedia, and set requirements for the implementation of MPEG-4 playback on consumer equipment.
