On Service Value Networks Composition
This event took place on Monday 27 June 2011 at 11:30

 
Ivan S. Razo-Zapata Free University Amsterdam

In our research we aim at a framework for Service Value Network (SVN) composition. Such framework focuses on business-oriented issues. In this sense, based on the concept of economic reciprocity, we consider a service as an economic activity that offers and requests valuable objects, i.e. the service gives its resources if, and only if, it gets its requested objects. Moreover, since the participants within an SVN are customers and suppliers, our framework helps to analyze the Business to Customer (B2C) and the Business to Business (B2B) value exchanges. Finally, we argue that the future internet of services depends on the availability of service offerings as well as the understanding of issues such as revenue models, service bundling, business relationships among others.

Future Internet is...


Future Internet
With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not. Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume, and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society. Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and better utilisation of the Internet. Within Japan, USA and Europe major new initiatives have begun in the area.

To succeed the Future Internet will need to address a number of cross-cutting challenges including:

  • Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness

  • Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection

  • Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated

  • Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities

  • Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities
