The 6th Framework Programme emphasizes the critical role of software in enhancing competitiveness in various sectors. It focuses on advancing engineering capabilities and management of software systems and e-services, addressing key technical issues like open platforms and standards. Research priorities include dynamic adaptability, context awareness, and semantic interoperability while fostering free/open-source solutions. The program also aims to reduce fragmentation in software development efforts and draft strategies for the industry's evolution towards services, supported by substantial funding across multiple projects.

Overall context and objectives • Pervasiveness of SW, SW is becoming a key to competitiveness • Need to advance capabilities to engineer and manage Software systems, e-services, … • Main technical issues: • Open and interoperable platforms • Methodologies, tools • Middleware • Standards
Focus • New features for software and services development (AmI context): • Dynamic composability and adaptability • Context awareness, autonomy • Semantic interoperability [IP, NoE, STREP] • Complex systems: principles, methodologies and tools for development, simulation and management [IP, STREP]
Focus (continued) • Free/open source Software: technologies for supporting development, deployment, evolution, etc. [IP, STREP] • Software systems: • Foundational and applied research addressing properties like self-adaptability, flexibility, robustness, evolvability • Emphasis on high-level methods and concepts (early phases of software life-cycle), system integration and testing, agile methodologies and distributed development, end-user development [NoE, STREP]
Focus (continued) • Support actions: reduce fragmentation of efforts, build synergies • Evolution of software industry (esp. towards services) • Drafting strategies and roadmaps [SSA, CA]
