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.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
