• Focus and concentration– Selection of limited set of objectives based on inputs received:

• Socio economic drivers, realising the vision, constituency readiness,..• “Europe’s options”: SWOTs analysis conducted at all levels

• Integration – Ensuring co-evolution of technologies applications

• Efficient exploitation of technology breakthroughs• Challenging applications pulling technology development

– Best use of the new instruments• Realising ERA in IST

– Focus on work that needs to be addressed at EU level– Incremental build up of Europe-wide approaches to RTD in IST

Workprogramme - principles

SW Productivity Gap

Source: Eureka/ITEA

8 June, 2003 JB/12

• Tool and Packaged SW weak (-)• OS, PC platform, standards and interoperability

dominated by US industry (-)• 70% SW development within secondary industry

(telecom, automotive, aerospace, engineering, …) (!)• Traditionally strong academic research, but may be

declining (+/-)• Strong Open Source Community (+)• Emerging market for value added services (mobile) (+)

European Software industry - status

8 June, 2003 JB/13

• Use Europe’s industrial strength in telecom, automotive, aircraft, consumer electronics, chemicals, etc.

• RTD actions (i.p. IP) aim at building collaboration between:

– large industrial user/developers

– software (tool, COTS, component, service) vendors

– supported by academic research,leading to strong (often sectorial) industrial networks

• Foundational research only through STREPs and CAs

• Where appropriate, complementarity and co-operation with work under EUREKA/ITEA

Strategy for competitiveness (1)

8 June, 2003 JB/14

Open Source Software

• To support open standards, formats and platforms• To stimulate competition in the software industry• To accelerate development of eGovernment services• To stimulate open discussion and variety in the

Information Society

Strategy for Competitiveness (2)

8 June, 2003 JB/15

A Strategic Objective in IST for RTD in Software and Service technologies

Building open development and run-time environments for software and services (WP 2.3.2.3)

– Use of European industrial strength and OSS community in an RTD effort to create:

• Platforms of methods, tools and middleware for SW production

• Which are modular and open to extension to specific domains

• Covering all phases of SW life-cycle

• Applicable to broad classes of software systems and services

– Keep support to longer-term foundational research

Strategy for competitiveness (3)

8 June, 2003 JB/16

Research Focus • High level methods, esp. for early development phases, for

system design and integration (MDA), addressing non-functional aspects, autonomy, composability and distribution

• Open, Modular and Customisable development environments supporting evolving processes, consistency and traceability

• Light methodologies, esp. for co-operative and distributed development

• Open platforms, middleware and languages for modeling, interoperability, composability and integration of distributed SW systems (incl. P2P, agents, dynamic adaptability and evolvability)

Strategy for competitiveness (4)

8 June, 2003 JB/17

Services everywhere

• Middleware for services interoperability

• Service creation environment

• Tools for service development

• Software as a service (“software on command”, application services)

Strategy for competitiveness (5)
