Technologies for the Internet of Services - 1st International Symposium of the THESEUS Research Program
29 June 2009 - 30 June 2009
Austria
For the first time, this symposium will give the general public the opportunity to receive first-hand information about current developments of the program that was initiated in 2007. The organizers’ particular concern is to place activities within THESEUS into an international context. Therefore, comparable projects will be introduced from the EU, USA, Japan, and China.
In addition to a lecture program filling the first day of the symposium, there will be a broad spectrum of workshops and tutorials giving the participants detailed insight into specific development aspects. Some of the currently developed applications may also be tested. For example, developers of empolis offer an all-day introduction to application development with the OpenSource framework SMILA while the FZI Forschungszentrum Informatik (Research Center for Information Technology) introduces the development and management of ontologies. Other topics will also be covered in a series of workshops: development of mobile applications (DFKI and neofonie), semantic description of web services (SAP, Stanford University, and Fraunhofer ISST), or the necessity to provide new business models (Hinchcliffe & Company, Fraunhofer IAO, SAP, and Technical University Munich). Last but not least, technologies and applications will also be introduced and discussed whose use for end users will immediately become available, e.g. for the handling of large media stocks or the visualization of complex information.
The program will be supported by an exhibition that will introduce and demonstrate a number of the most interesting applications having evolved in THESEUS and related contexts so far. Talking directly to the developers will also be possible.
A concluding panel discussion will reconsider possibilities for a future, closer cooperation between the various researchers.
