IST Project Mikado
Participants : Jean-Bernard Stefani, Alan Schmitt, Philippe Bidinger.
The goal of the IST project Mikado is to develop a model for distributed mobile programming based on a process calculus. Investigation topics include type models, programming language and virtual machines technologies, and specification languages. The project's partners are: Inria (project-teams Mimosa and Sardes), France Telecom R&D (DTL/ASR Laboratory), University of Sussex, UK (M. Hennessy), Università di Firenze, Italy (R. de Nicola), University of Lisbon, Portugal (V. Vasconcelos). The main contribution of Sardes is in the areas of models for component-based systems and distributed process calculi. The project ended in mid-2005.

IST Project Gorda
Participants : Jean-Bernard Stefani, Sara Bouchenak.
GORDA (Open Replication of Databases) is an IST STREPS project. The GORDA project aims at (i) promoting the interoperability of databases and replication protocols by defining generic architecture and interfaces that can be standardized; (ii) providing general purpose and widely-applicable database systems; and (iii) providing uniform techniques and tools for managing secure and heterogeneous replicated database systems. The project partners are Universidade do Minho (R. Oliveira), Università della Svizzera Italiana (F. Pedone), Universidade de Lisboa (L. Rodrigues), INRIA (Sardes project), Emic Networks (Finland) and MySQL AB (Sweden). The main contribution of Sardes is the C-JDBC technology, and the development of frameworks and tools for its use.
ITEA Project Osmose
Participant : Jean-Bernard Stefani.
Osmose (Open Source Middleware for Open Systems in Europe) is a project funded by the ITEA program. The project is focused on the development, enhancement, and validation in defined test-beds of a comprehensive adaptable Open Source middleware to be hosted by the ObjectWeb consortium ( 8.2). The testbeds will be developed in three areas: telecom services, home gateway, and avionics.
The Consortium is built around three sets of partners: 6 large industrial companies (Bull, France Telecom, Philips, Telefonica, Telvent and Thales), 6 SMEs (Bantry Technologies, iTEL, Kelua, Lynx, VICORE and Whitestein Technologies), and 7 academic partners (Charles University, EPFL, Inria, INT, LIFL, Imag-LSR and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid). The contribution of Sardes is in the area of frameworks and tools for component-based middleware. The project ended in October 2005.

ITEA Project S4All
Participant : Jean-Bernard Stefani.
S4All (Services for All) is a project funded by the ITEA program. The project, launched in July 2005 for a duration of 2 years, is focused on the provision of a platform for easy creation of person-to-person communication and customized web services. The platform is organized as a ``service bus'', allowing flexible integration of existing applications, as well as new developments.
The Consortium includes Alcatel, Bull and Inria. The contribution of Sardes is expertise in the area of adaptive middleware and integration of applications.
