Short presentation of the Score team - score.loria.fr

1. The SCORE Team Context and Research Perspective

2. The Logo Soup 3 Universities + 2 Research institutes = A research lab and A research center

3. Nancy in France

4. LORIA numbers Around 450 people 150 researchers and faculty 150 phd students and post-docs 150 support staff (administration, technician and engineers) Missions are Fundamental and applied research Training Technology transfer

5. Main research topics High-performance calculations, simulation and visualization Quality and safety of computer-based systems Parallel, distributed and communicating systems Models and algorithms for bio-sciences Natural Language Processing and multi-modal communication Knowledge representation and processing

6. SCORE – score.loria.fr Service and Cooperation LORIA and INRIA team Formerly ECOO Numbers 9 researchers and faculty members 6 PhD (soon 8) and 2 Post Doc 4 Engineers

7. SCORE foundations Distributed Collaborative Systems Distributed Data Management Computer Supported Collaborative Work Service Oriented Computing BPM (flexibility, user centred) Service composition Non Functional Aspects (Transaction, Security) Engineering

8. Methodological foundations System design and development Formal validation Experimental and Empirical Studies

9. Distributed Collaborative Systems How to support people working together but distributed in time, space and organisations Requires expertise in Distributed systems (data and services are everywhere) CSCW (users are involved) Our vision : Collaborate without a central authority Better acceptance Better reliability Allow to apply different policies

11. Data are shared but everybody keeps a copy and control on the copy

12. E.g. Distributed VCS

13. Distributed process orchestration

14. Push orchestration near the service provider

16. Service Oriented Computing Development of applications at the scale of the web How to develop services that are Efficient, Safe, Secure, Flexible, Adaptative How to ensure/enforce some properties on service composition Transactional properties, Security properties, Privacy/Quality of service

17. BPM Two main problems Inter-organisational processes Flexible Human Driven processes Inter-organisational processes Distribution of execution and control Flexible process Bonita WFMS Crisis Management support

18. Perspectives : Scaling up Identify and manage collaboration and service at a new scale From group to communities From people and organisations to social networks Without a central authority Requires New paradigm for security (Trust ?) New paradigm for coordination ? Uses cases Crisis management Production of international scientific report (climate report) Crowd Sourcing ...
