Description |
| C-0 |
Project
Management |
University of Potsdam |
details the project management structure involving scientific,
administrative, financial, and dissemination coordination. |
| C-1 |
ASG Interface |
DERI at University of Innsbruck |
will provide interfaces and mechanisms to ensure access to
and semantic interoperability across ASG and its users. In particular
it will develop a language for semantically rich description
of user requests and service descriptions including both functional
and non-functional requirements, based on existing Semantic Web
standards. |
| C-2 |
Service
Discovery & Composition |
National University of Ireland, Galway |
will provide mechanisms to register, discover, and compose
services. Based on information on services available within ASG
and semantic specifications of desired functionality, service
composition will create composed services to fulfil requests
that can only be satisfied by several services that are executed
as a service process. |
| C-3 |
Service
Creation |
Siemens AG (CT SE) |
will provide mechanisms for dynamic creation of services, mainly
based on automated generation of software components according
to semantic service specification and agreements, taking into
account both the functional and non-functional requirements.
Semantic specifications will be transformed into specific language
constructs, which are then used for software and service generation. |
| C-4 |
Adaptive
Process Management |
Swinburne Univ. of Technology |
will provide mechanisms for the enactment, monitoring and management
of service and process execution in order to ensure collective
QoS and stateful coordination of services in ASG. It will include
identification of prospective service providers for the services
planned in the application workflow and coordinated negotiation
of service provision agreements and sub-contracts with the providers
in order to meet the application nonfunctional requirements,
primarily related to the Quality of Service (QoS). |
| C-5 |
Services
Grid Infrastructure |
HPI-DCL at University of Potsdam |
will provide a generic open software platform
for implementation of the ASG elements together with the core
computational grid
functionality, standard service interfaces and basic grid services required
for the development, integration and deployment of service-oriented applications.
The research will specifically address nonfunctional properties – such
as timeliness, reliability, availability, and security – for services,
thereby considerably enhancing existing grid computing models. |
| C-6 |
ASG
Development Methodology |
Fraunhofer IESE |
is responsible for managing the software lifecycle process
of applications using ASG, including both the structure of software
processes, the deliverables produced in the various phases and
development of tools used
when working with ASG or tailoring ASG to a new application domain. |
| C-7 |
Usability
and Demonstration |
Telenor R&D |
will show how ASG-based services will provide advanced new
services in the context of specific application domains. Partners
from theTelecommunications and IT industry areas are active in this context, and have
identified the three ASG application domains Telecommunications, Enterprise IT,
and Telematics. |
| C-D |
Dissemination |
tranSIT GmbH |
is represented by a dedicated work component. With the help
of partners in the e-training and e-learning context and event
management a set of dissemination actions, both with respect
to scientific dissemination, training and industrial dissemination
will be conducted. |
