The Software Systems Group has projects in the following areas:

• Simulation, test and collaborative systems.
• Payload and science monitor and control systems.
• Computer assisted learning.
• Knowledge management solutions.
  

Gallery of a selection of projects:

• TopiWriter - TopiWriter is an Add-in to MS Word which enables the authoring of higher quality documentation than current word processors, and makes the knowledge contained in the document explicit. TopiWriter includes both TopiMaker and TopiEngine products. Read more...


• LINDO - Large scale distributed INDexation of multimedia Objects - The LINDO-BE project finds its origin in the LINDO-EU project, whose objective is the development of a Multimedia Information Retrieval System that overcomes with the large bandwidth needed to transfer large multimedia objects to a central indexing and processing facility. This will be done by supporting an innovative end-to-end workflow, where multimedia material is indexed and stored in the remote nodes and remotely queried and accessed from a central facility. LINDO-EU addresses this end-to-end architecture and the definition of associated standardized service interfaces. 


• POT1 and POT2. Phase 1 (specifications) and Phase 2 (implementation) of the precursor monitoring & control infrastructure of the Belgian User Support and Organization Center (B-USOC), for the PCDF (Protein Crystallization Diagnostics Facility) payload, and simulation of an actual mission involving this infrastructure.


• POT3 The project had two objectives:
  
• to contribute to the validation of the B-USOC for PCDF operations, by upgrading the precursor infrastructure developed during POT2 and augmenting the level of realism of the PCDF Simulator.
• to provide the PCDF Script Authoring Tool, allowing operators and scientists to prepare (author) and validate through simulation the scientific scripts that will run on-board the PCDF payload.


• POT56. The project aims at providing a series of operations support tools to Ground Operators, for the SOLAR and EuTEF payloads:
  
• SOLAR Command Schedules Authoring Tool
• SOLAR Command Schedules Tracking Tool
• SOLAR Software Simulator
• EuTEF Operation Program Authoring Tool
• EuTEF Operation Program Tracking Tool


• WebSET The goal of the WebSET project is to develop and use advanced Web-based technologies to implement innovative cost-effective learning tools that can be run on any workstation platform including a standard PC of average capacity and ensure the adoption of WebSET surgical applications with major European learning centers e.g.Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Royal Belgian College of Surgeons.
