The notion of a global, user-centric SOA enabling a
real Web of Services made up of a global mesh of interoperable
user-centric services. [CD-JRA-2.3.4] |
Recently, the vision of the Internet of Services (IoS) emerged and can be seen as a new business model that can radically change the way we discover and invoke services. The IoS describes an infrastructure that uses the Internet as a medium for offering and selling Services. As a result, services become tradable goods. Service marketplaces, where service consumers and providers are brought together to trade services and so engage in business interaction, are an enabling technology for the IoS vision. Thus, the IoS provides the business and technical base for advanced business models where service providers and consumers form business networks for service provision and consumption. Within these business networks, organizations work together to deliver a service to consumers. For example, a service-based value network may include the research, development, design, production, marketing, sales and distribution of a particular service. [J. Cardoso et al., 2009] | |||
