Enabling Next Generation
of B2B and B2C Services

Welcome to the home page for the FORM project. Take a look at What's New in our web. 

FORM's goal is to develop, evaluate, disseminate and exploit an Open Development Framework (ODF) for the emerging market in component-oriented communications management software. The target audience of this Framework is wide, covering service providers, management system integrators, independent software vendors and standardising bodies.

This Framework is being evaluated through a focus on the management of business-to-business services over QoS enabled IP networks. Such services are termed Inter-Enterprise Services (IES) in FORM. The project is developing prototype IES Management Systems that exercises the principles and techniques expressed in the Framework allowing them to be evaluated and refined.

The project is producing a number of publicly available results related to both the ODF and specific solutions in the IES domain.

The FORM project is partially funded by the European Union under the IST programme of the Fifth Framework.

If you have any queries about the FORM project feel free to contact ithe Project Coordinator, Herve Karp of ATOS Origin.
