We are looking for partners from Europe and developing countries for 3 proposals to the 4th call of the Information Society Techonolgies Programme launched by the European Commission (www.cordis.lu/ist). The proposals have already been pre-registered with the Programme. The submission deadline is 31 October 2000. Please reply to us before 23 October 2000. M=E1rio Amado Alves*, maa@di.fct.unl.pt Fernando Brito e Abreu*, fba@di.fct.unl.pt (IQUAL only) M=E1rio Caeiro, mariocaeiro@ip.pt (Luna only) *Faculty of Sciences and Technology, New University of Lisbon The 3 proposals: OpenIST - Open Source Software Components and Tools for the Information Society Technologies. A wide group of researchers in programming and software engineering, and possibly also industry software developers, will select and create software components and tools necessary for effective software engineering and programming in virtually all the Information Society Technologies. The main deliverable is Version 1 of the OpenIST Software Library, with a status of open source, and most probably free. The project spans 12 months, with working incremental versions of the library available from the start. Key line: 4.3.1 Type of Action: research IQUAL (Internet Quality) - Quality Modelling for Internet Technology The new realities of software construction in the internet age render existing software quality models completely inadequate. Software artefacts are now a blend of architectural issues, multimedia technology and new human machine interaction paradigms. A framework for assessing the quality of web-based technology is thus urgently required. The current proposal is to research and create such a framework. Third party certification of web-based software solutions requires it. The web marketplace would be the final winner. Action Lines I.3.1, IV.2..., IV.3..., V.1.4, V.1.6, VIII.1.3 Type of Action: 90% research; 10% take-up Luna - University of the Moon The mission of the University of the Moon is to study and develop interesting things which lie outside the realm of interest and/or possibility of Earth universities, e.g. a non-Unix operating system. It takes the form of an earthly network until Luna, the Earth's satelite, is inhabitable: then it founds its headquarters there. Action lines VI.1.1, VIII.1.2 Type of Action: thematic networks * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Notes to addressees: Doctor Gabriel Pereira Lopes: proposal OpenIST converges with your proposal to set up a site with tools for information retrieval and NLP experimentation by students and other associates.
