EHPT is a joint venture between Ericsson and Hewlett-Packard developing telecom management systems.

The goal of the system laboratory is to increase the knowledge of new technologies in the EHPT community and define how new technologies can be used. We do this by

*) doing evaluations and prototyping with new technology
*) supporting other units with technology expertise
*) analysing competitors products from a technical point of view

Traditionaly EHPT is a Unix shop but demands for Windows NT are coming more and more. We are thus actively investigating the use of NT as a standard platform, both on the client and server side.

Most of our projects for the moment concern the development of distributed and "componentized" applications running in heterogeneous environments. Currently we are concentrating on CORBA-based solutions but we are also looking into other distribution mechanisms. Other areas of concern are security, transaction handling, WWW interfaces, software distribution, etc.
