Innovative Tools and Methods for High-Quality Software Development in Europe
The European Commission's initiative emphasizes the development of innovative tools and methods for software aimed at producing reliable, resilient, and adaptive software systems vital for industrial and public applications. With a focus on large-scale, complex, and data-intensive systems, the programme seeks to enhance the productivity of the software industry while fostering faster innovation cycles. By supporting research and development in software architectures, lifecycle management, and distributed applications, this initiative aims to improve the competitiveness of the European software industry.

WORK PROGRAMME 2014 – 2015Topic ICT 9: Tools and Methods for Software Development Odysseas I. PYROVOLAKIS European Commission DG CONNECT Software & Services, Cloud
The Challenge Need: Software of excellent quality (reliability, resilience and automatic adaptation) for complex & critical systems • Need for innovative tools and methods for software development Why: • To improve the growth and competitiveness of the European industry • To encourage faster innovation cycles in software • To increase European software industry's competitiveness. • Focus on systems: large and interoperable software systems • Focus on application domains: industrial and public sector applications 21 M €; Small projects; R&I Actions
Theme 1: Software tools and methods for large, complex and data-intensive systems • Tools and methods for evolving software systems (especially for complex and secure business-critical systems) • Integrity, robustness, reliability and resilience as built-in characteristics. • Coverage of the whole software lifecycle. • Innovationin managing the complexity of large software and data-intensive systems, • Inclusion of simulation, testing and verification
Theme 2: Software architectures and tools for highly distributed applications • Novel approaches in distributed applications' lifecycle management. • Focus on development, deployment, management and dynamic reconfiguration • Architectures and tools to maximise quality of experience in elastically scalable applications. • Interest on data location, latency and data throughput in heterogeneous cloud environments • Inclusion of specialised hardware resources and sensors
Expected impact • Direct Impact • Productivity increase in the development, testing, verification, deployment and maintenance of data-intensive systems and highly distributed applications; • Innovative tools for handling complex software systems. • Credible demonstration that larger and more complex problems can be effectively and securely tackled; • Long term impact • Use cases of productivity gains for EU industry.
