PROMIS (Project Management Information exchange Services) is a research consortium with Fujitsu, IBM Japan, Hitachi, NEC, Nomura Research Institute, NTT DATA and Nanzan University. It aims at developing a new software engineering platform for managing SSN (Software Supply Network), an inter-organizational model of software development. This article reports on the background, goals, research challenges, our approaches and main results of the PROMIS consortium. Major technical contributions include a management model for SSN, a common resource model for exchanging management data as Linked Data, and a RESTful resource-oriented architecture on top of OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration) over the Web.
