Topics covered by the presentation: overview of the ASG project, ASG
advantages over SOA, ASG Use Cases and Scenarios
During the tutorial some functionalities of ASG project that would need an extension in following projects were identified. Participants were really interested in the negotiation scope and pointed out that it could be really interesting to provide users of such platform with an auction-based functionality where service providers could compete for service users.
Discussion concerned also descriptions for services, especially creation of parameters that would enhance service description. Some important remarks of comparison ASG to other Semantic Web Services platforms were given.
Tutorial participants found out solution developed within ASG European Project worth discussing and provided tutorial leaders with lot of comments concerning usability of the solution. One of the main issues raised was number of use cases the solution was tested in. Moreover, the issue of transaction in the contect of negotiation understood more complex than in ASG as changing SLA after request from the user was also deeply discussed.
From the negotiation point of view also the number of non-functional parameters for services was elaborated.
