• Google Summer of Code
  

  April, 22nd 2008: Juan Cadavid, a senior Computer Science student from the EAFIT University in Medellín, Columbia has been awarded a scholarship by Google to work under the supervision of Adrian Mos on the Eclipse STP Intermediate Model (STP-IM). The scholarship is part of the Google Summer of Code programme, a competition that awards an internship stipend to a selected number of students based on their open-source project proposal. The STP-IM is an Eclipse component initiated and led by TUVALU, and is part of the top-level SOA Tooling Project. It is an integration component that aims to bridge a variety of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) editors and approaches using a common information bridge.
  Juan will start his work in May and will contribute a significant addition to STP-IM before his work ends in August.



• JOnES
  

  April 4th 2008: The ANR RNTL 2005 JOnES project sucessfully held its final review in Montbonnot. TUVALU was leading the JOnES partnership, grouping research laboratories (Adam, Sardes INRIA reseach project-teams, TUVALU, Ecole des Mines d'Albi) together with industrial companies (France Telecom R&D) and dynamic SME's ine the ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) arena, such as eBM Websourcing, Open Wide and ScalAgent Distributed Technologies. Following the proposal done in 2005 under the umbrella of this ESB initiative of the former ObjectWeb consortium (today OW2), the JOnES project has successfully enabled a transfer from INRIA research projects (Fractal, Dream) towards the development of an Open Framework for JBI (Java Business Integration) compliant ESB, and the PEtALS platform. The PEtALS is hosted by the OW2 Consortium, and is led by eBM Websourcing. Thanks to the JOnES project, PEtALS has successsfully passed all the JBI TCK (Test Certification Kit) tests as provided by Sun, under a scholarship with INRIA. PEtALS is one the major Open Source ESBs that is today JBI compliant and certified. The JOnES project has strongly contributed too to the realisation of ESB development, deployment and configuration tools as available in the PEtALS platform, as well as design and development tooling for SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture), currently hosted by the Eclipse STP project and for Workflow (Eclipse JWT project).
