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.
