The project

I* is a project funded by the French National Research Agency, in its Software Technologies 2007 programme. The goal of the project is to design and build a virtual machine dedicated to interactive software. This virtual machine will allow to combine interactive components built in different programming languages, so as to favour reuse and innovation. It will also allow the distributed execution of interactive software, as much for accomodating Web architectures as for building multi-surface applications.

I* started in late 2007 for three years, and is carried out in partnership with LRI in Orsay, and the companies IntuiLab and Anyware Technologies.

Lab's contribution

Le LII concevra le langage de la machine virtuelle et participera a sa realisation. Pour cela, il utilisera les connaissances acquises sur l'environnement IntuiKit qu'il developpe avec son partenaire IntuiLab, et menera des travaux d'analyse et de recherche theorique complementaires.
