Towards the Social Event-based Internet of Services Workshop in the ICE 2012 Conference Tuesday 19 June 2012 *** Check out the photos from the workshop ***
Leveraging Social Networking, Linked Data and the Real-time Web for the Future Internet
Workshop Description		The evolution towards the Future Internet will largely be based on three inter-connected directions: (i) social networking within and across companies; (ii) the use of Linked Open Data and (iii) the trend towards the real-time event web. The aim of this workshop is to present the main technological challenges in these three areas and outline the proposed solutions and indicative usage scenarios of three European Union research projects: PLAY, SocIoS and Omelette. PLAY develops and validates an elastic and reliable architecture for dynamic and complex, event-driven interaction in large highly distributed and heterogeneous service systems. Such an architecture will enable ubiquitous exchange of information between heterogeneous services, providing the possibilities to adapt and personalize their execution, resulting in situation-driven service adaptivity. SocIoS paves the way for building qualitative, functional and usable business applications exploiting the User Created Content and the Social Graph of users in Social Networks. By providing tools for cross-platform application development and deployment; support for SLAs and QoS; tools for UCC and social graph management; and most importantly, a usable framework to build services in and through Social Networks, SocIoS will provide incentives for the development of business applications. OMELETTE proposes an innovative process of service development based on a mashup oriented approach, which will enable the development of multimodal services in a seamless way. OMELETTE development process will be supported by a suite of assistive technologies that aim at assisting end-users with automatic compositions or compo-sition recommendations and at speeding up the work of developers. Project aims at a strengthen European service and telco industry by contributing to W3C Widgets specification as well as defining a first interoperability specification for mashups. OMELETTE stands for Open Mashup Enterprise service platform for LinkEd data in The TElco domain. This workshop is supported by the FP7 projects SocIoS (http://www.sociosproject.eu), Omelette (http://www.ict-omelette.eu), PLAY (http://www.play-project.eu/)
