Collaborative Systems & Advanced MMI

TCPsi has been working since its foundation in the development of applications for distributed tele-operation systems, with a remarkable expertise in the applicable technologies related to this field, which mainly are OMG-CORBA, Web Technologies, XML, J2EE, DDS.

The base of that expertise is the involvement of TCPsi in several national and European R&D projects. Among them, it is worthy to point out: STELLAE, REMOT, DYNACORE, CMMOC, WGMMI.

By means of the results of those projects, TCPsi has developed and matured a suite for the production of collaborative virtual systems: SaViO.

SaViO stands for Virtual Operation Room (in Spanish, Sala Virtual de Operaciones) and it is a family of reusable components built by TCPsi to support its activities related to the development of distributed operation systems and industrial control.

Through the integration of SaViO components it is possible to access systems from remote positions, via a web connection. Functionality provided by SaVio also includes capabilities to allow collaboration and coordination between different remote positions, as if they were located in the same "physical" centre.

SaVio has an open standard based design to facilitate its integration with different systems. It uses CORBA as communication infrastructure between the different SaVio components and permitting independency from the operating system, the transport protocol and the programming language.
