ALIVE is a research project funded by the European Commission in the context of the 7th Framework Program. ALIVE will develop new approaches to the engineering of distributed software systems based on the adaptation of coordination and organisation mechanisms often seen in human and other societies to service-oriented architectures. Such methods provide robust descriptions of distributed systems and make the development of complex software systems more accessible to non-specialists.
ALIVE will provide a range of new results, including both theoretical and practical developments.
SOUND THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS
The project develops a new framework for design, deployment and management of service-oriented systems with sound theoretical foundation for organisational aspects.
NEW METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH, ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS
The project provides new methodological guidelines, concrete modeling languages and their implementations to capture organisational, coordination and service levels.
INTEGRATION INTO SOA ENVIRONMENTS
Project results will be open and reusable, aiming to functions as add-ons and plug-ins to existing and emerging mainstream tools.
The project started on the 1st of February, 2008 and will continue until 2010. Public results will appear here from early 2009.
