Updex Solutions, Inc. develops applications and middleware systems for the travel industry. Due to the unique characteristics of supply chains in this industry and increasing demand for higher performance in related software systems, the company has been working on utilising the most advanced software technologies to create resilient, scalable, and responsive systems. To make the solutions more affordable for its target customers (small and medium travel businesses), the company is working on an SaaS (Software as a Service) platform, for which, after extensive exploration, an actor-based architecture has been selected as the best fit. An appropriate fundamental architecture will be of long-term benefit to the company in the development of software that is able to provide such services. Difficulty of finding personnel with specific expertise in actor-based systems is a significant barrier to achieving these goals. Updex would like to work with Prof. Jamali's team to develop Actors based engineering methodologies for SaaS, as well as to design and prototype a software system targeted at the company's SaaS requirements. The project will develop software engineering methodologies based on the Actors model to improve programmability of provision of diverse types and qualities of services to different clients served by a common Actors-based server. This will be accomplished in two ways. First, high-level programming constructs will be designed to improve programmability of differentiated service types for different clients. Second the project will build specific mechanisms based on Dr. Jamali's CyberOrgs model, which will help customize and isolate parts of Updex's SaaS backend for supporting a rich set of multi-tenancy capabilities including provision of differential quantities and qualities of service to clients.

Updex Solutions, Inc. 为旅游业开发应用程序和中间件系统。由于独特的 该行业供应链的特点以及相关领域对更高绩效的需求不断增加 软件系统，公司一直致力于利用最先进的软件技术 创建有弹性、可扩展且响应迅速的系统。使解决方案对其目标来说更实惠 客户（中小型旅游企业），该公司正在开发 SaaS（软件即服务） 经过广泛的探索，基于参与者的架构被选为最适合的平台。 合适的基础架构对公司发展有长远利益 能够提供此类服务的软件。 难以找到在基于参与者的系统中具有特定专业知识的人员是一个重大障碍 实现这些目标。 Updex 希望与 Jamali 教授的团队合作开发基于 Actors 的工程 SaaS 的方法论，以及针对公司 SaaS 的软件系统的设计和原型 要求。 该项目将开发基于 Actors 模型的软件工程方法，以改进 向由共同服务的不同客户提供不同类型和质量的服务的可编程性 基于参与者的服务器。这将通过两种方式实现。首先，高级编程结构将是 旨在提高针对不同客户的差异化服务类型的可编程性。二、项目二 将基于 Jamali 博士的 Cyber​​Orgs 模型构建具体机制，这将有助于定制和隔离 Updex SaaS 后端的一部分，用于支持丰富的多租户功能，包括提供 为客户提供不同数量和质量的服务。
