Open knowledge-driven service-oriented system architectures and APIs (KiSS) Community Group created

The Open knowledge-driven service-oriented system architectures and APIs (KiSS) Community Group has been launched:
  http://www.w3.org/community/kiss/

--------------------------------------------------

W3C provide a great variety of standards that can be used to build
applications that use the Internet as a platform for communication and
integration. The open Knowledge-driven Service-oriented System
architectures and APIs (KiSS) community group is created for sharing,
elaborating and evolving knowledge-driven approaches for system
integration. The KiSS community group takes service-oriented
architecture as a main paradigm for application creation. However, it is
not enough to say that there is a set of some services that can be
integrated according to the application needs. The integration is
facilitated with semantic descriptions of the services. Furthermore, the
special support components are required at system run time in order to
allow dynamic composition of the services accordingly semantic
representation of adjusted or new system goals.
 
Thus, the community aims to categorise different possible architectures
to allow knowledge-driven approach for system integration; it provides
reference architectures that also point out possible technologies for
the solution implementation. The community targets different application
domains and industries in order to benefit from cross-domain vision on
development of knowledge-driven systems. 


The abbreviation of the community group highlights the integrative
nature of the group (small i among K (knowledge), S (service) and S
(system)). 


The group is managed by 6 re-electable chairs. The roles and
responsibilities of the chairs go as follows:
* General chair: Ideologist. Overall synchronization between different
pillars of the KiSS. PR with other groups and external stakeholders.
Member attraction, community group development. 
* Chair for integration: Integration technologies, web service
composition.
* Chair for knowledge: Knowledge representation and reasoning standards
and methodologies.
* Chair for devices: Embedded devices, their adoption for KiSS.
* Chair for services: Web services, standards, methodologies for service
definition.
* Chair for application domains: KiSS in different application domains.
Cross-domain learning and development. Benchmarking.
