Even after four decades of rapid advances, computing is currently subject to revolutionary changes at all levels, including hardware, middleware, network infrastructure, but more importantly intelligent applications. Emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web or Web Services transform the Internet from a network of information to a network of knowledge and services. The number of services which will be offered on the Internet is expected to rise dramatically in the next few years.
The mission of Service Web 3.0 to address these emerging developments and contribute to the implementation of framework programmes and their projects, and support the preparation of future community research and technological development
The project focuses on:
- organization of special focused conferences and seminars,
- establishment of collaborative groups and publication of roadmaps to facilitate a communal framework for a future service world,
- providing support for standardisation activities for semantic service descriptions,
- discovery and development of synergies through networking and cross-fertilisation with other research and network projects related to this area,
- setting up dedicated cross-project clusters focusing on Semantic Web Services within STI International,
- provision of information material comprising white papers, feasibility studies, promotional movies and raise awareness for technology adoption.
