- ARCAD project is an exploratory project funded by the French Ministry of Industry under the RNTL program. Its partners are: Inria (Sardes and Oasis project-teams), France Telecom R&D, École des Mines de Nantes and the I3S laboratory at Nice Sophia-Antipolis (Rainbow group, M. Riveill). The project aimed at designing and developing distributed extensible environments for deploying distributed component-based applications. Sardes contributed work on dynamic reconfiguration of applications, based on Fractal. The Project started in November 2000 and ended in June 2004.(see http://arcad.essi.fr/)
In this project, I have developed an adaptable Enterprise Java Beans infrastructure using JOnAS (Java Open Source Application Server) of ObjectWeb Consortium (www.objectweb.org). This work was directed by Pr. Thomas Ledoux at Ecole des Mines de Nantes (October - December 2001).
