In October 2010, the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) group at the University of Hildesheim started the research project INDENICA. In the next 36 months the SSE group cooperates with SAP AG, Siemens AG, Vienna University of Technology, University of Vienna, Politecnico di Milano and Telcordia to provide a major contribution to the future internet. The main focus of the INDENICA project is the easy and efficient development of domain-specific service platforms. The relevance of service platforms has increased over the past years, in particular, with respect to cloud services like Amazon Web Services and Gmail. Cloud-computing is one of the most important trends in information technology today. INDENICA aims at the customization of domain-specific service platforms. In particular, the project will systematically improve the customization of service platforms and ease the integration of services across different service platforms.


In INDENICA, the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) group at the University of Hildesheim focuses on the efficient and automated adaptation of services and services platforms. The group will contribute their expertise in Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) to refine existing techniques as well as to develop and implement new techniques for service and services platform customization. SPLE is an approach for efficient reuse of software artifacts aiming at the automation of configuration and adaptation of product variants. This approach reduces both development costs and time-to-market while increasing quality of the software artifacts. The SSE group will provide methods and techniques to describe, manage and implement the adaptation of service platforms. These methods and techniques will be realized in an Eclipse-based tool environment. Further, the group will develop a lightweight monitoring framework for monitoring and managing services at runtime.
