IBM says its Eclipse Innovation Grant (eIG) program will continue in 2004. Grant proposals are being accepted through Nov. 7, 2003, from qualified faculty and researchers who use Eclipse open source code base for teaching and/or research and who can add to the sharing of code and ideas among the community of Eclipse users.
IBM will award up to 55 grants, valued in the range of US$10,00 to $30,000 each. This year, focus will be given to teaching proposals. All submitted entries will be judged by a panel of experts from IBM Research and Development. External reviews of proposals will be sought to assist in the selection process.
Awards will be announced Jan. 2, 2004. Projects will run from January to December 2004. Competition winners will be invited to present their work at an Eclipse Innovation Workshop organized by IBM in October 2004. Awardees also will be encouraged to share their teaching and research infrastructure with others via the Eclipse open source project.
This is the second year of IBM's eIG program. In 2003, 49 projects from around the world were awarded funding.
“Eclipse is an open-source community that creates technology and an open universal platform for tools integration,” IBM explains. “Eclipse based tools give developers freedom of choice in a multi-language, multi-platform, multi-vendor supported environment. Eclipse delivers a plug-in based framework that makes it easier to create, integrate and use software tools, saving time and money. By collaborating and sharing core integration technology, tool producers can concentrate on their areas of expertise and the creation of new development technology. The Eclipse Platform is written in the Java language, and comes with extensive plug-in construction toolkits and examples. It has already been deployed on a range of development workstations including HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, Linux, MAC OS X, QNX and Windows based systems.
“Eclipse also offers significant value to researchers and educators, by providing an industrial-strength infrastructure for conducting research and developing curricula in many areas of computer science and computer engineering, with particular relevance to programming languages, development tools, collaboration and programming environments.”
