European Initiatives

FP7 & H2020 Projects

  • ENVISAGE (Engineering Virtualized Services) is a EU FP7 project, with starting date October 1st, 2013, and with a 3-year duration. The project is about model-based development of virtualized services, including tool support for resource analysis. Most Focus members are involved.

Collaborations in European Programs, Except FP7 & H2020

  • The ICT COST Action BETTY (Behavioural Types for Reliable Large-Scale Software Systems). initiated in October 2012 and with a 4-year duration, uses behavioural type theory as the basis for new foundations, programming languages, and software development methods for communication-intensive distributed systems. Behavioural type theory encompasses concepts such as interfaces, communication protocols, contracts, and choreographies. Main persons involved: Bravetti, Giachino, Hirschkoff, Lanese, Laneve, Mauro, Sangiorgi, Zavattaro.

  • ICT COST Action IC1405 (Reversible computation - extending horizons of computing). Initiated at the end of April 2015 and with a 4-year duration, this COST Action studies reversible computation and its potential applications, which include circuits, low-power computing, simulation, biological modeling, reliability and debugging. Reversible computation is an emerging paradigm that extends the standard forwards-only mode of computation with the ability to execute in reverse, so that computation can run backwards as naturally as it can go forwards.

    Main persons involved: Giachino, Lanese (vice-chair of the action).

  • ICT COST Action IC1402 ARVI (Runtime Verification beyond Monitoring) Initiated in December 2014 and with a 4-year duration, this COST Action studies runtime verification, a computing analysis paradigm based on observing a system at runtime to check its expected behaviour.

    Main persons involved: Bravetti, Lanese.

  • SMAll (Smart Mobility for All) SMAll is an EIT project that runs during 2016.

    The aim of the project is to develop a service-oriented platform, called the SMAll platform (https://github.com/small-dev/SMAll.Wiki/wiki), to support the creation of a liquid market for transportation, facilitating the publication, retrieval, and orchestration of functionalities for transportation, owned by different operators.

    Jolie plays a prominent part in the development of the SMAll platform: it is the main language for the development of both the platform — the architecture of services that support publishing, organisation, and interaction among the functionalities for transportation — and of the services for mobility.

Collaborations with Major European Organizations

Simone Martini is a member of the Executive Board of EQANIE (European Quality Assurance Network for Informatics Education), from October 2014.

We list here the cooperations and contacts with other groups, without repeating those already listed in previous sections.

  • ENS Lyon (on concurrency models and resource control). Contact person(s) in Focus: Dal Lago, Martini, Sangiorgi, Vignudelli. Some visit exchanges during the year, in both directions. A new joint PhD started in september 2016 (Adrien Durier).

  • Inria EPI Spades (on models and languages for components, reversibility). Contact person(s) in Focus: Lanese. Some visit exchanges during the year, in both directions.

  • Laboratoire d'Informatique, Université Paris Nord, Villetaneuse (on implicit computational complexity). Contact person(s) in Focus: Dal Lago, Martini. An Italian PhD student (Marco Solieri) is working on his PhD thesis with joint supervision (Martini, Guerrini).

  • Institut de Mathématiques de Luminy, Marseille (on lambda-calculi, linear logic and semantics). Contact person(s) in Focus: Dal Lago, Martini.

  • Team PPS, IRIF Lab, University of Paris-Diderot Paris 7 (on logics for processes, resource control). Contact person(s) in Focus: Dal Lago, Martini, Sangiorgi. Some short visits in both directions during the year.
