The symposium was highly interdisciplinary, open to all scientific areas, with an emphasis on the technologies driving the development of Web 3.0: semantics and services. Research addressed the key challenges facing the Internet:
Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness
Trust when government, medical, financial and personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection
Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated
Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities
Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices and velocities
The program was international in scope, and focused on research, especially that which crosses the traditional boundaries of our field. It hosted
- Original research papers
- Keynote talks
- Invited talks from leading academic and industrial researchers
- Workshops and Tutorials
