ABSTRACT The primary project objective is to
develop an ICT framework, enabling software and
service providers to generate open and extensible
development platforms for web-service
applications. The open platform consists of
coupled and linked Infrawebs units, whereby each
unit provides tools and adaptable system
components to analyse, design and maintain
web-services realised as Semantic-Web-Services
within the whole life cycle. The Infrawebs units
will be used to establish an open development and
collaboration platform for SMEs and strong
industrial suppliers for software and services.
This offers a new dimension of collaborative work
and service production, service provision and
service maintenance in run-time environments.

• OBJECTIVES
• To provide a comfortable and easy to use
  knowledge- brokering unit,
• Being used for analysis, design and composition
  of SW services within a collaborative workflow
  environment, and
• Supplemented with security and privacy
  preserving run- time and maintenance tools

State of the Art A state-of-the-art analysis has
shown the lack of systems for effective
collaboration in reconfigurable networks, as well
as adaptable platforms for the design, deployment
and maintenance of Web Service enabled
applications. The present and existing software
tools and systems are mostly incoherent and
static, which in the majority of cases, is due to
proprietary aspects or features preventing an
effective adjustment and balancing of information
pools. This is also a reason for missing
re-configurability, adaptability and
self-organising features of existing development
and networking platforms.
7
VISION The step from creating just "static" to
creating and maintaining "dynamic" (semantic) web
services through the machine-processability
feature of semantically structured information
sources and domains. To this end, a bridging of
Web Services and Semantic Web technologies will
be implemented in the context of rich semantic
service descriptions and inferencing capabilities.
