BMWi - ZIM Project "XonYt"
| Title | XonYt - Development of an Infrastructure for a mobile webzone as basis for a virtual network |
| Objectives | Latest mobile devices are instantly connected to the Internet and equipped with various sensors (e.g. GPS, accelerometers). But currently services are missing to fully exploit these features. There is urgent need for a software middleware which allows for modular and fast development and deployment of context-aware applications. |
| Contribution UASO | Development and implementation of a middleware for the management of context information and for the provision of pervasive services |
| Funding | BMWi (Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology), ZIM (Central Innovation Programm for Small and Medium sized Enterprises) |

BMBF Project "ComGeneration"
| Title | ComGeneration - Test-driven Evolution and Autonomous Deployment of Communication Services |
| Objectives | The ComGeneration project focuses on the test driven creation and evolution of communication services. A Service Creation Environment (SCE) is targeted in which test cases can be generated semi or fully automated. The aim is to integrate the tests already at the beginning of the development process of new services. |
| Contributions UASO | Design of a test environment with automated creation of tests (Test-last); Development of a test-driven Service Creation Environment (Test-first); Automated deployment and adaptation of services in Next Generation Networks |
