Last week KMi’s Carlos Pedrinaci gave a keynote at the 4th Workshop on Non-Functional Properties and SLA Management in Service-Oriented Computing collocated with the 8th IEEE European Conference on Web Services in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. In his talk, Carlos revisited some of the existing issues limiting the uptake of services on the Web, and highlighted how the research he is carrying out can help overcome these limitations.

In particular, Dr. Pedrinaci presented some of the main results on Linked Services coming out the EU project SOA4All. He introduced a set of principles and tools anchored on the integration of Linked Data and Services as a means for better supporting the development of complex service-based applications on the Web. The talk concluded with an example on service recommendation developed in collaboration with iSOCO and CEFRIEL illustrating the benefits of Linked Services.
