Software Engineering for Service-Oriented Overlay Computers

Funded by the European Union

Project Description

Service-oriented computing is emerging as a new paradigm based on autonomous, platform-independent computational entities (called services) that can be described, published and categorised, and dynamically discovered and assembled for developing massively  distributed, interoperable, evolvable systems and applications.

The widespread success that this paradigm is knowing today can be witnessed by the effort and resources that many large companies are  investing to promote service delivery on a variety of computing platforms, mostly through the Internet in the form of Web services.

Tomorrow, the expectation is that there will be a plethora of new services supporting e-government, e-business, e-science, and many other areas, promoting a rapid evolution of the Information Society.

The aim of SENSORIA is to develop a novel comprehensive approach to the engineering of software systems for service-oriented architectures where foundational theories, techniques and methods are fully integrated in a pragmatic software engineering approach. The SENSORIA approach is illustrated by several development scenarios like those shown in the picture below.
