Standard open object microkernel

Objective

The goal of the project is to establish a standard framework for building system software, out of components.

This framework is based on standard open System Programming Interfaces (SPIs), defined in an object-oriented fashion. It is designed:

- to support efficiently the development and deployment of operating system servers (e.g. file systems, device drivers), specific value-added system servers (e.g. switching software, hard real-time application), and third party system servers and middleware (e.g. databases, graphical user interfaces),
- and to allow operating system vendors, system manufacturers, and integrators to easily integrate those components into complete systems, ranging from deeply embedded real-time systems (e.g. fitting in embedded controllers) to high-end real-time telecommunication systems, to distributed computing operating systems (e.g. Single System Image distributed Unix systems).
The SOOM Project strongly leverages the results of the OUVERTURE and STREAM OMI projects, and the extensive experience of the project partners with the development and use of microkernel technology and products in a wide variety of system onfigurations. Based on those results it :

- Specifies standard System Programming Interfaces (SPIs),
- Provides the product platforms supporting these SPIs by:

- adapting and extending the CHORUS open microkernel and associated system services and libraries,
- adapting and extending the development tools necessary to develop and integrate system software components as easily as applications.

- Demonstrates the benefits brought by these SPIs and their supporting platforms in developing actual system products.
- Promotes the establishment of these SPIs as an industry standard.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
