SOA4All in action: Enabling a web of billions of services

Abstract

SOA4All aims at realizing a world where billions of parties expose and consume services via advanced Web technology. The main objective of the project is to provide a comprehensive framework that integrates complementary and evolutionary technical advances (i.e., SOA, Context Management, Web Principles, Web 2.0 and Semantic Technologies) into a coherent and domain-independent service delivery platform. The demonstration will focus on the SOA4All Studio, a user-friendly holistic platform that provides users with a unified view covering the whole lifecycle of services. Through the SOA4All Studio interface, users will be invited to discover available services and compose their own. I.e., they will be able to find services, semantically annotate them, compose them in processes and finally monitor their execution. They will see results immediately without any pre-knowledge required. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
