AIC Seminar Series

The promise of Web Services is the application of wildly successful WEB technologies to the problem of fostering the interoperation of application systems. However, Business is fundamentally about evolving relationships in which organizations collaborate over time to complete tasks. We argue that the true mission of Web Services should be: to enable software systems, individuals and organizations to confidently collaborate on shared tasks and transactions in the context of Web Services. We present a vision of Web services that promises to lay the foundation for genuine semantically grounded interoperation between system that cross ownership and trust boundaries.

Frank McCabe has been in the business of designing Logic Programming systems since 1976. In recent years he has been strongly involved in a number of standards organizations such as FIPA and OMG in an effort to promote interoperability standards for agent-based systems. He is a believer in Semantically Grounded Communication as the basis for interorganizational communication.
