Note: The GENSO project is no longer operational.

The project has been running for two years and a proof of concept has been demonstrated. A review and consolidation of requirements and software design is underway and advanced development will soon begin.
The software will be developed according to an evolutionary model with overlapping lifecycle phases and incremental releases. The operational system is due for release to the public in September 2010.
