Section: Overall Objectives

Highlights

• The Logoot algorithm [6] is a breakthrough for managing consistency of shared data on peer-to-peer networks. Logoot is a fundamental scientific result in the domain of distributed system and more specifically, in the domain of optimistic replication.

• Bonita is now supported by a new company, BonitaSoft(http://www.bonitasoft.com/ ). The CEO of the company is a former ECOO member who helped to the developments of its first versions, Miguel Valdes Faura. BonitaSoft has raised 3M$in a first round of venture capital.

• The XWiki SAS company distributes the XWiki Concerto software (http://concerto.xwiki.org ) that includes our woot algorithm. This product is the result of the XWiki Concerto ANR project. This result is clearly a transfer from fundamental results on consistency management over unstructured peer-to-peer networks to industrials.

• DSMW [33] stands for “Distributed Semantic MediaWiki” (http://dsmw.org ). It is an extension of Semantic MediaWiki and is distributed as free software from october 2009. It allows creating a social network of semantic MediaWiki servers and managing synchronization of content between servers. This extension is based on the Logoot algorithm to ensure eventual consistency on ontologies. DSMW is representative of our research process: providing new fundamental results, apply these results to build new innovative systems and then evaluate the added value by the end-user. Fundamental results, innovative systems and evaluation are all scientific contributions.
