Welcome to INFRAWEBS

Intelligent Framework for Generating Open (Adaptable) Development Platforms for Web - Service EnabledApplications Using Semantic Web Technologies, Distributed Decisions Support Units and Multi - Agent - Systems.

Specific Target Research Project of the European Commission
6th Framework Programme - Priority 2 "Information Society Technologies"
Proposal Number: 511723

After having faced and solved lots of difficulties together…
After having found solutions through intensive and creative common work…

The INFRAWEBS consortium is proud to have accomplished all the results according with the challenging plan, in particular the remarkable implementation of a test bed infrastructure for a WSMO environment. The European Commission endorsed such achievements by rating the project results with a mark between Good and Excellent !

The main lesson: we came to success, when we learnt to respect each others’ differences and to cooperate and work together also in details and small issues.


INFRAWEBS, a European project involving leading authorities on Semantic Web Technologies to develop an application-oriented software toolset for creating, maintaining and executing WSMO-based Semantic Web Services (SWS) within their whole life cycle. This next generation of tools and systems enable software and service providers to build open and extensible development platforms for web service applications. These services will run on Semantic Web initiatives and W3C submissions, such as BPEL4WS, WSMO, WSMX, WSML, SPARQL, RDF, etc. In particular, they will be compliant with WSMO (Web Services Modelling Ontology).

The systems generated consist of loosely coupled INFRAWEB units, with each unit providing tools and adaptable system components. Developers will be able to use these components to analyse, design and maintain WSMO-based Semantic Web services across the whole lifecycle.

These Semantic Web Services offer a new dimension in collaborative work and service production, service provision and service maintenance in run-time environments.

In the first step, the INFRAWEB units are being used to establish an open development platform for SMEs and industrial vendors.

INFRAWEBS - Intelligent Framework for Networked Businesses and Governments Using Semantic Web Services and Multi-Agent Systems

In this paper the conceptualization and design of an ICT framework is proposed and discussed - an intelligent framework for supporting organizational networking and the effective sharing of resources. The challenges for this are to: (i) provide a comfortable and ?easy to use? but effective knowledge brokering environment, (ii) used within a decision supported flexible and highly dynamic collaboration platform, and (iii) supplemented with add-ons to fulfil security and privacy requirements. These objectives are achieved by developing software components consisting of: (i) an ontology based and decision supported knowledge management structures applicable to different entities, and (ii) an interoperability environment realized as a dynamic and reconfigurable platform using semantic web services and multi agent systems, (iii) supplemented with semantic web service and agent related privacy and security modules. The framework mirrors the modern and future oriented way of ubiquitous computing, where computers will be relegated to the background of our lives and everybody may be at the same time client, broker and, provider of services.
