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对相关行业更高性能的需求日益增加 软件系统，该公司一直致力于利用最先进的软件技术， 创建弹性、可扩展和响应式系统。使解决方案更适合其目标 客户（中小型旅游企业），该公司正在开发SaaS（软件即服务） 平台，其中，经过广泛的探索，基于演员的架构已被选为最适合。 一个合适的基础架构将有利于公司的长期发展， 能够提供这种服务的软件。 在基于行为者的系统中，难以找到具有特定专长的人员，这是一个重大障碍， 实现这些目标。Updex希望与Jamali教授的团队合作开发基于演员的工程 SaaS方法，以及设计和原型针对公司的SaaS软件系统 要求. 该项目将开发基于演员模型的软件工程方法， 向由一个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 Actor服务器这将通过两种方式实现。首先，高级编程结构将 旨在提高针对不同客户端的差异化服务类型的可编程性。第二，项目 我将根据Jamali博士的网络组织模型建立特定的机制，这将有助于定制和隔离 Updex的SaaS后端的一部分，用于支持丰富的多租户功能，包括提供 不同数量和质量的服务客户。
