Web-Pilarcos


Description

The web-Pilarcos project studies solutions for inter-enterprise cooperation. New solutions are expected to replace heavy system integration approaches with more flexible mechanisms. The federation mechanism provides a degree of automation in service composition and use of services across enterprise boundaries. The approach combines service-based architectures, modern middleware, ideas of workflow management, and modern views to software production styles and tools. The conceptual development is tested out as prototypes using Web Services technologies.

The web-Pilarcos project is a spinoff from earlier Pilarcos projects.

The project is a joint effort with VTT, Elisa and SysOpen. Additional funders are Tellabs and TEKES.

Vacancies

Vacancies are available for new researchers, and research assistants. (Even a project secretary gradually taking more management responsibilities can be considered.)

If your interests include web services, component-based software architectures, workflow management, electronic business systems, interoperability, reflective systems, security and trust in distributed systems, or modeling and model verification, we have something in common. You can be working on your scientific writing project, software engineering project, master's thesis or PhD thesis. You can start working already during the summer season.
