The GeneSyS Project

• An Introduction to the
• Generic Systems
• Supervision Project

2
Introduction

• Information Society Project (IST-2001-34162)
  funded by the European Union's Fifth RTD
  Framework Programme
• 2.5 year project, started in March 2002
• Cost 2.61 million
• Partners EADS-ST, NAVUS, HLRS, MTA SZTAKI

3
Goals

• Our mission is to enhance distributed systems and
  applications with a generic and standardised
  supervision solution and nurture its practical
  implementation and multi-sector exploitation as a
  key enabler for the competitiveness of European
  research and industry.

4
Objectives of GeneSyS

• To specify and develop an open, generic, modular
  and comprehensive supervision concept a new
  supervision middleware
• To integrate and validate this supervision
  structure within various industrial contexts
• To achieve the adoption of the GeneSyS concepts
  by all stakeholders (internal and external to the
  consortium), and to ensure that the vision of the
  proposed generic structure will become a new
  emerging standard.

Validation Scenarios

• Relevant and realistic scenarios based on real
  user-cases of the industry will support the
  validation process. They will be inspired by
  several complementary industrial domains
• Distributed simulation
• to validate the capability of GeneSyS to monitor
  and control interconnecting, complex and
  heterogeneous simulation facilities in real-time
• Distributed engineering
• to validate the capability of GeneSyS to support
  Collaborative Engineering applications (
  including design selection, project review,
  GroupWare tools,)
• Web Servers Monitoring
• to validate the implementation of GeneSyS in
  this very popular domain

Dissemination, exploitationand standardisation

• Free download of the components developed so far,
  documentation and several dissemination material
  can be found on the GeneSyS Web site
  http//genesys.sztaki.hu
• In order to facilitate the adoption of GeneSyS by
  a wide range of users, our policy is to release
  our components in open source (available at
  http//sourceforge.net/projects/genesys-mw)
• In parallel, standardisation activities are
  performed by the Project partners in order to
  rise GeneSyS to the level of a reference product
  in the field of distributed systems supervision

Partners

• Project coordinator
• 100 subsidiary of the EADS N.V. group, the
  European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company
• Since 1994, EADS-ST has included the Distributed
  Simulation technologies in its key strategies of
  research
• EADS-ST will mainly behave as User by validating
  the GeneSyS product in front of its training and
  engineering applications in the space domain.

Partners -

• NAVUS, founded in 1995 is a software development
  company for technical and scientific applications
• NAVUS did a number of projects for GIS, military
  and medical research applications between 1995
  and 2000. In 2000, NAVUS expanded its activities
  to Internet based solutions and focused on Java
  technology, using J2EE as a perfect platform for
  distributed applications.
• NAVUSs contribution to the GeneSyS project
  includes the specification of the middleware
  architecture and the lead of the development
  activities.

Partners -

• HLRS - Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart is
  the first German National Supercomputer Centre
  and worked for a long time in collaborative
  systems including complex simulation processes
• HLRS will provide a technology oriented and
  state-of-the-art knowledge on processes,
  networking and standardisation aspects, as
  crucial for the definition of advanced and
  effective software services for the GeneSyS
  Architecture.

Partners - DSD

• MTA SZTAKI is the largest institute of the
  Hungarian Academy of Sciences for research and
  development in the fields of computer sciences
  and automation.
• DSD (Dept. of Distributed Systems) is involved in
  the development of groupware applications digital
  library systems and audio/video conferencing
  environments.
• MTA SZTAKI/DSD leads groupware and dissemination
  standardisation related activities in GeneSyS.
