EVENT: 2nd ECSS Workshop - Future dialogues on software services challenges

3 April 2008 - Budapest, Hungary

        

Aim of the Workshop

The 2nd workshop of the ECSS (European Community for Software & Software Services) brought together experts from the scientific community and from the industry for a day full of exchange of thoughts and fruitful discussions.

Same as for the 1st workshop held on September 28, 2007 in Brussels the aim was to work out strategic judgements and guidelines for the European Commission and the community of European researchers and entrepreneurs active in the software services (SS) field, through discussion of software services related challenges identified by 3S Green Paper.

The outcomes of the workshop will have direct influence on the “ECSS White Paper”, the action paper meant for the European Commission, prepared by the 3S Consortium, including judgements and policy recommendations shared by the widest possible number of European entities and individuals with a stake in the area of software services. 

      

Workshop Focus

The 2nd ECSS Workshop focused on the following aspects of the Green Paper:

• Leveraging semantics for dynamic discovery, matching composition of software services
• Non-functional requirements & business processes and policies for software services provision
• Privacy protection and market regulation in convergent electronic communications
