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.
