The EPI Centre at Coventry University is participating in a project to help match European companies bidding for funds under the EC's Research and Development budget for SMEs known as CRAFT. CRAFT helps SMEs with limited research capability to develop new products or processes by paying the costs of a research organisation for them.
I have recently been sent a profile for a project which has been proposed by an Italian company. They are looking for SME partners in the UK to join the Consortium. As it involves Linux, I wondered whether the following may be of interest to any of the companies in your association? (I can contact companies directly if this is easier). If any company is interested in participating or finding out more about the project, please either let me know or contact the details below as soon as possible.
I look forward to hearing from you. With best regards Emma

GENERAL An Italian university spin off is looking for companies interested in developing a new system - VAS, a fully open source application to manage maintenance of legacy Microsoft Windows applications on a geographically distributed network. Catalogues are centralised on a Linux server, by means of Wine, and provided to client workstations using VNC. Companies interested in developing the VAS system itself, end users, interested in centralising Windows applications on a single server are being sought.
DESCRIPTION The proposed solution is to centralise Windows applications and to distribute them through the Internet, using VNC and WINE. More in detail, the applications will be installed on a Linux server using WINE. Then, access to the applications will be provided using VNC, directly from the workstation of the users. In case of a new release of an application, it will be necessary only to update the installation on the server; on the client workstation the access will be performed again by the same VNC client.
The innovation is to use two existing open source packages (WINE and VNC) to run Windows applications on a Linux server, and distribute them to users through the Internet. The Italian Company is looking for: -companies interested in marketing the server for specific Windows applications; -R&D partners interested in improving the existing WINE code, so to incraese the number of working Windows calls; - end users, interested in centralizing one of their Windows applications on a single server. Target Countries: Great Britain and Germany
