Projects

SOA4All
Service Oriented Architectures for All (SOA4All) is a Large-Scale Integrating Project funded by the European Seventh Framework Programme, under the Service and Software Architectures, Infrastructures and Engineering research area.

SOA4All aims at realizing a world where billions of parties are exposing and consuming services via advanced Web technology: the main objective of the project is to provide a comprehensive framework that integrates complementary and evolutionary technical advances (i.e., SOA, context management, Web principles, Web 2.0 and semantic technologies) into a coherent and domain-independent service delivery platform.

InterLogGrid
The project InterLogGrid is funded by the BMBF (German Ministry for Education and Research) in the context of “Logistik-Community in D-Grid” (Logistic Community in D-Grid) initiative. Aim of the project is to develop D-Grid technologies for logistic companies for better support in planning and disposition decisions in the inter modal logistics. To achieve this, inter modal logistic systems and their logistic processes are represented in a logistics grid as well as the existing D-Grid infrastructure is used as a scalable system for distributed storage and usage of data. Furthermore, computational intensive logistic services on top of the data are offered by the service providers. The main contribution of the project is the provision of the an easily extensible logistics layer for the grid, that contains the semantics of the basic semantics of logistics as a set of grid services as well as model components and functions.

WisNetGrid
The project WisNetGrid is developing a service layer for the content, in order to create a shared knowledge space, “a common language” within the D-Grid infrastructure, based on the virtual technical layer composed of the common hardware resources of the D-Grid.
The project is intended to provide central data and service capabilities with the possibility of coupling community-specific data sources, subject area-neutral and subject area-specific expansion of services and the use and expansion of higher-value generic knowledge workloads.
The goal is to develop and construct a prototype of a generic “knowledge layer” infrastructure intended to make possible the provision of services for the integration and networking of data and associated metadata resources, and the integration of Grid data services on top of the technical layer of the common hardware and middleware resources.

IME Graduate School
IME IME Graduate School at Universität Karlsruhe (TH)
At the Universität Karlsruhe (TH) the integration of the disciplines Economics, Business Administration, Computer Science, and Law is already addressed in an interdisciplinary course of studies and the research program “Information Engineering and Management”. Market Engineering is considered as an essential element of this research program. Therefore, the purpose of the Graduate School is to investigate interdisciplinary and problem-oriented approaches to all aspects of electronic markets, especially the role and power of information.
The IME Graduate School is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and meanwhile supported by institutes and corporations
