Triple Spaces for a Ubiquitous Web of Services

Abstract

Triple Space Computing is a communication and coordination paradigm for Web services that combines space-based computing and the Semantic Web. Triple Spaces aim at providing a web that is optimized for machines, thus simplifying the sharing of data and the coordination of devices and services in dynamic and heterogeneous systems. The more ubiquitous the Web becomes, the more the information processing tasks have to be performed by services hidden in the World Wide Web. Services will have to coordinate their efforts, understand each other and exchange information over the Ubiquitous Web to allow human users access to the world's information spaces whenever and wherever they find themselves - or rather, access to the right service for the right person at the right time and at the right place (and with the right price).
