Software as a Service: On the Future of Semantics in SOA

November 27th, 2008 11:00-12:30

  

[.] if you're a CIO with a head for business, you won't be buying computers
anymore. You won't buy software either. You'll rent all your resources from
a service provider.

Scott McNealy, former CEO Sun Microsystems


Objective


The networking session is dedicated to the ICT strategy for realizing this
vision.

Particularly, semantic technologies will be considered as a prime candidate
for

the automation and interoperability of SOA technologies at web-scale, and
the

dependency of future enterprise software dependent upon the coming Internet

of Services.

 


Participants


The target participants are all stakeholders of the Future Internet (FI),

particularly those interested in designing new systems around SaaS models,
the

coming Internet of Services and those with expertise in semantic
technologies:

researchers, technology developers, IT vendors and catalysts.

 


Expected Result


The result shall be a commonly agreed collection of challenges, objectives
and

research aims that can serve as input for formulating the future ICT
strategy on

R&D in service-oriented technology.
