Invited talk: The role of Semantically enabled SOA in Next-Generation Context-Aware Services

Kurzfassung

[Brodie et al., 2005] outlines a comprehensive framework that integrates two complimentary and revolutionary technical advances, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Semantic Web, into a single computing architecture, that we call Semantically Enabled Service-Oriented Architecture (SESA). While SOA is widely acknowledged for its potential to revolutionize the world of computing, that success depends on resolving two fundamental challenges that SOA does not address, integration, and search or mediation. In a services-oriented world, billions of services must be discovered and selected based on requirements, then orchestrated and adapted or integrated. SOA depends on but does not address either search or integration. This talk introduces some ideas on SESAs potential role for Ubiquitous Services, as well as the potential role of Ubiquitous Services for SESA, with a focus on aspects of context-awareness .
