Open Reflective Infrastructure for Open Networks
Funded by the Flemish Government as part of a general programme for bilateral scientific collaboration, the ORION project spans the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Universidad de Chile.
The project builds upon previous contacts between both universities as part of the SENSO-network, and proposes scientific collaboration on Ambient-Oriented Programming.
Fact Sheet
Belgian Promotors : Theo D'Hondt & Wolfgang De Meuter
Chilean Promotor : Gonzalo Navarro
Duration: 1-jan-2006 till 31-dec-2007
Budget: approx. 32.000 EUR
Proposal
The ORION proposal identifies the complementary strengths of both partners in the project and details how they can be combined to achieve a full-fledged open reflective infrastructure for open networks. AmbientTalk is the virtual machine that is used to develop the work packages described in the project. Some of the work packages are service discovery abstractions, failure handling and garbage collection, all of which are currently pursued by researchers of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
