In 2002, we proposed to use planning and constraint satisfaction to address the problem of dynamic service composition (Aiello et al. A request language for web-services based on planning and constraint satisfaction. (2002) VLDB workshp on Technologies for E-Services (TES)). Since then we have developed a language and supporting framework to dynamically compose services, XSRL. This is basic research funded by the University of Groningen. Currently the main people involved are: Eirini, Alexander, and Marco.

SM4All is concerned with the design and development of an Embedded Middleware Platform for Pervasive and Immersive Environments For-All. This is applied to the challenging scenario of private houses and home-care assistance in presence of users with different abilities and needs (e.g., young able bodied, aged and disabled). This is basic research funded by the European Union under Framework 7. Currently the main people involved are: Marco, Alexander, Elie, and Mahir.

Software As Service for the varying needs of Local e-Governments (SaS-LeG) aims to find solutions to an acute problem of the Dutch municipalities over the past years: effective e-Government. The municipalities need to provide more and more digital services to the citizens. As a result they need to develop numerous and complex software systems to implement these e-services. The SAS-LEG project proposes to use the Software as Service (SaS) principle in order to implement the law once and offer it as a customizable service to several municipalities. This is basic research funded by the Dutch National research council (NWO) in its software engineering programme (Jacquard). Currently the main people involved are: Pavel, Heerko, Alexander, and Marco.

A topological investigation of power grids to move from monopolistic on to democratic energy exchange. The Sparc project is concerned with the energy grid. Its aim is to study the current power grid and to identify necessary changes in order to enable a peer-to-peer energy exchange. The vision is that of future residential units that not only consume energy, but also store and generate energy which they can sell to neighbouring nodes. The project is funded by an Ubbo Emmius grant. Currently the main people involved are: Andrea, Peter and Marco.

The MyCare project aims at providing tools for the self-assesment and management of schizophrenia. It is a joint project with the Groningen University Medical Hospital (UMCG) and is founded by the Dutch council for innovation in healthcare (ZonMW). Currently the main people involved are: Ando and Marco.
