We have a new publication by Roy from SINTEF coming from the ENVISION project:
Roy Grønmo (2010). Can Graph Transformation Make Aspect Languages for BPEL Redundant? In Proceedings of 14th IEEE International EDOC Conference, Vitória, Brazil.
GMES approved by the European Parliament

“This European initiative will provide Europeans with information that can be used to further improve their quality of life through a better knowledge of the living environment, delivering the necessary information to fight climate change, respond to emergencies, and alert citizens if air quality gets bad, to cite a few examples. Recently, GMES has also been used to help rescue operations in Haiti and fight the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The European Parliament has taken an important step in the legislative process”, said Vice-President Antonio Tajani. (link)
With its approval by the European Parliament, the GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) initiative has take an important step.
The approval of the Parliament gave green light to the development of the GMES system by 2014, which would enable the EU to collect its own data – most of which currently comes from American satellites. The adopted regulation contains a provision for open and free of charge access to the collected data, so that all local, regional and national players can use these data to respond to natural disasters, to monitor climate change as well as to take better decisions on agriculture, forestry, energy, urban development, infrastructure or transport. The open access should also boost a “downstream market” for which small and medium-sized software companies can develop new applications. (link)
This is great news for ENVISION and all other FP7 research projects which focus on applications for earth observation data.
Envision Open Source Project created

All implementations within the Envision project will be open sourced, a full release of the environmental modelling suite is scheduled for project month 12 (which is December this year). Until then, we are going to use Kenai as host for our source code repositories, documentation, and issue tracking. The wiki already contains a few guides for setting up the development environment for creating portlets for Liferay, and how to enable commication between portlets using Spring and DWR (with reverse ajax).
For next few weeks we are continuing our work on small side project to understand how to implement portlets (and agree on best practices how to approach them).
Welcome to ENVISION!

The ENVISION project provides an ENVIronmental Services Infrastructure with Ontologies that aims to support non ICT-skilled users in the process of semantic discovery and adaptive chaining and composition of environmental services. Innovations in ENVISION are: on-the-Web enabling and packaging of technologies for their use by non ICT-skilled users, support for migrating environmental models to be provided as models as a service (Maas), and the use of data streaming information for harvesting information for dynamic building of ontologies and adapting service execution.
In the future all news on this project will be available on this website. So check back or follow our RSS feed to stay up-to-date.
