Semantic Interfaces for Mobile Services

Imagine that compatible service components for different terminals and networks can easily be made by small innovative companies, based on open source service specifications shared by all service providers.

This is what SIMS seeks to make possible

 

SIMS is about a novel technology, dubbed semantic interfaces, enabling rapid development, dynamic discovery, and composition of mobile services. Compared to the well known static interfaces currently in use, semantic interfaces enable definition of dynamic behaviour and the goals of the collaboration across an interface. This enables safety and liveness properties to be checked effectively and to support service discovery and service composition at runtime with compatibility guarantees.

 
  • Service components incrementally designed and validated
  • Support for deployment and automatic service discovery at runtime
  • Composition of behaviour at runtime, not just at design time
