CNR-ISTI

The Institute of Information Science and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), which is organized in 16 laboratories, is committed to producing scientific excellence and to play an active role in technology transfer. The team participating tin the Driver-II proposal belongs to the “Multimedia Networked Information System Laboratory” which consists of 48 researchers and technicians conducting research and development activities on algorithms, techniques and methods for information modelling, access and handling, as well as new architectures and system services (service-oriented Architectures, P2P, Grid-based) supporting large networked multimedia information systems.

 In the context of Driver-II, the ISTI-CNR team will ensure the scientific and technological coordination of the project. It will also: (i) enhance and maintain both development and production releases of the DRIVER infrastructure; (ii) give support to developers willing to build and register service-based applications over the infrastructure; and (iii) design and implement infrastructural services for Complex Objects storage and access.

The ISTI-CNR team has been involved in many European funded projects relevant to the topics addressed in this proposal, namely in the following 5FP projects: DELOS NoE (No. 507618, scientific co-ordinator),  ECHO (No. 11994, co-ordinator), SCHOLNET (No. 20664),scientific co-ordinator, CYCLADES (No. 25456, scientific co-ordinator), CLEF (No. 31002, co-ordinator), D-Lib Competence Center (No. 32587, co-ordinator) and Open Archives Forum (IST- 2001-320015); and 6FP projects: DELOS II NoE (No. 507618, scientific co-ordinator), DILIGENT (No. 004260, scientific co-ordinator), and MultiMatch (No. 033104 , co-ordinator), BRICKS (No. 507457), BELIEF (No. 026500), CASPAR (No. 033572) , DRIVER (No. 034047), and SAPIR (No. 45128).
