Vision statement

“Exploiting the full potential of services moving from system defining the users, to users defining the systems by delivering knowledge and artefacts to empower people and organisations to design and deploy the right service-centric systems at the right time”

Problem statement

To exploit the full potential of software services, it is necessary to rapidly develop flexible, dependable service-centric systems that can adapt dynamically to their environment and inter-operate with legacy systems and other embedded software. It is also necessary to develop reliable and robust services that can be easily discovered by service integrators and that provide a guaranteed, specified quality of the offered services. This requires new software development processes and tools to support the new business models to bring about the NESSI vision of “the user, the individual, at the centre of future developments for an inclusive knowledge-based society for all”[NESSI 2005].

Position statement
