Special Training Session:

Open services on the Web through SOA4All technology

21 October 2010 - 9:00-12:30
Brussels, Belgium

SOA4All is organizing a special training session to demonstrate "What SOA4All can do 4U". The aim of this session is to present the latest SOA4All software technologies, give a quick overview on the capabilities of the software, as well as explain how to obtain and use it so that your project can benefit from and build upon SOA4All results.
The event will take place in Brussels on October 21, 2010, the day after the Internet of Services 2010 - Collaboration Meeting for FP6 & FP7 projects.

Registration is now closed. If you need further information about this event, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Abstract

Web services have already achieved a solid level of acceptance and play a major role for the rapid development of loosely-coupled component-based systems, within and between enterprises. Moreover, current developments in the world of services on the Web are marked by the proliferation of Web APIs and Web applications, commonly referred to RESTful services, which show high potential and rapid user acceptance. Still, despite the achieved progress, the wider adoption of web service technologies is hindered by the fact that currently most service tasks require extensive manual effort and as a result, web service-based applications suffer from a lack of automation. SOA4All technology addresses this drawback and makes services more accessible to non-expert users by supporting the easy and more automated completion of common service tasks, such as discovery, composition and invocation, by providing a suite of customisable UI tools. It is aware of and driven by current developments on the Web, adding innovation and usability to the state of the art and at the same time effectively supporting the completion of real-world use cases.
