• "on-demand" information System– includes OW2 middleware stack + OW2 architecture

(Fractal, Dream, Chameleon)• Development and composition environment

– OW2 Acceleo, Chameleon/Cilia mediation, Talend• Cloud testing and cloudified testing platform

– OW2 CLIF • VM (appliance) building and management

– to be used for development, testing, pre-prod, production

– embedded OW2 middleware in the VM• includes JOnAS/JASMINe, PEtALS,

eXo, xWiki, Talend, JORAM, Bonita, Spago, Orbeon, …

– management of such VMs (versioning, deployment)• OW2 JASMINe, UShareSoft

partnership• Autonomic Cloud Application Servers

– JASMINe evolutions (Context of ANR SelfXL project)• SLA verification

– OW2 Chameleon/Cilia mediation• Open Cloud (IaaS)

– Cloud interoperability, migration between clouds providers

– ProActive• Personal Storage Cloud

– OW2 Funambol, OpenMobileIS, Ingres• Mobile Cloud

– OW2 Funambol, OpenMobileIS• Cloud Networking

– Outside the OW2 scope?

* OW2 Stack: JOnAS/JASMINe, PEtALS, eXo, xWiki, Talend, JORAM, Bonita, Spago, Orbeon, …
