SECO-ASSIST 2018-2023
Belgian Excellence of Science Research Project
Software ecosystems are the most promising avenue for organising the software needs of the digital era. Jointly funded by F.R.S.-FNRS and FWO-Vlaanderen, the four-year Excellence of Science Project SECO-ASSIST aims to realise a scientific breakthrough to nurture the ecosystems of the future, by providing novel software recommendation techniques that address the resilience, evolvability, heterogeneity, and social interaction. To achieve this the project partners will combine their expertise in social networks (UMONS), software testing (UAntwerpen), software reuse (VUB) and database evolution (UNamur).
Les écosystèmes logiciels forment la voie la plus prometteuse pour organiser les besoins logiciels de l'ère numérique. SECO-ASSIST vise à réaliser une percée scientifique en assistant les écosystèmes de l'avenir, par le développement de nouvelles techniques de recommandation logicielle qui considèrent la résilience, l’évolutivité, l'hétérogénéité et les interactions sociales. Pour ce faire, les partenaires du projet joindront leurs expertises en réseaux sociaux (UMONS), tests de logiciels (UAntwerpen), réutilisation de logiciels (VUB) et évolution de bases de données (UNamur).
Software ecosystemen beloven om de noden en behoeften van software in dit digitale tijdperk te realiseren. SECO-ASSIST beoogt een wetenschappelijke doorbraak te realiseren in de ondersteuning van toekomstige ecosystemen, door middel van innovatieve aanbevelingstechnieken die de duurzaamheid, evolutie, heterogeniteit en sociale interactie beter aanpakken. Om dit te bereiken, zullen de projectpartners hun expertise combineren in sociale netwerken (UMONS), software testen (UAntwerpen), software hergebruik (VUB) en databankevolutie (UNamur).
