The PLASTIC platform enables robust distributed lightweight services in the B3G networking environment through:

• A development environment leveraging model-driven engineering  for the thorough development of SLA- and resource-aware services, which may be deployed on the various networked nodes, including handheld devices;
• A middleware leveraging multi-radio devices and multi-network environments for applications and services run on mobile devices,  further enabling context-aware and secure discovery and access to such services;
• A validation framework enabling off-line and on-line validation of networked services regarding functional and extra-functional properties.

The PLASTIC platform is assessed via the development of mobile distributed services in the area of e-business, e-health, e-voting and e-learning. Visit the PLASTIC applications page to know more.
