IS-EPOS Platform
The IS-EPOS Platform is an e-environment, which offers access to the Applications and Episodes stored in the eNodes. You can access the IS-EPOS Platform here.
Leader: Michał Lelonek, IG PAS
eNodes
eNodes are local data centres that store Episode data, as well as providing it to the IS-EPOS Platform. TCS-AH has two eNodes, owned and managed by IG PAS (leader: Dominika Wenc) and CNRS (leader: Marc Schaming).
