Service Oriented Architectures for All (SOA4All) is a Large-Scale Integrating Project funded by the European Seventh Framework Programme, under the Service and Software Architectures, Infrastructures and Engineering research area.
SOA4All aims at realizing a world where billions of parties are exposing and consuming services via advanced Web technology: the main objective of the project is to provide a comprehensive framework that integrates complementary and evolutionary technical advances (i.e., SOA, context management, Web principles, Web 2.0 and semantic technologies) into a coherent and domain-independent service delivery platform.

The aim of LarKC is to go beyond the limited storage, querying and inference technology that is currently available for semantic computing. The fundamental assumption is a suitable reasoning infrastructure for the Semantic Web must go beyond the current paradigms that are strictly based on logic. By fusing reasoning (in the sense of logic) with search (in the sense of information retrieval), and taking seriously the notion of limited rationality (in the sense of Herbert Simon), we will obtain the paradigm shift that is required for reasoning at Web scale.

The OKKAM project is going to provide the necessary infrastructure and example applications for a new way to manage information on the Web. The main objects are no longer documents that happen to contain certain keywords, but precisely identified entities, such as people, locations, organizations or events. This will lead to a faster, more efficient and more precise way to deal with the flood of information available on the Web today.

Even after four decades of rapid advances, computing is currently subject to revolutionary changes at all levels, including hardware, middleware, network infrastructure, but more importantly intelligent applications.
Emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web or Web Services transform the Internet from a network of information to a network of knowledge and services. The number of services which will be offered on the Internet is expected to rise dramatically in the next few years. It is the mission of Service Web 3.0 to address these emerging developments and contribute to the implementation of framework programmes and their projects, and support the preparation of future community research and technological development.
The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content will continue to play an integral part of everyone's lives on the planet.
