Future application opportunities for ASG platform discussed in industry workshop
With about 50 participants at the ASG industry workshop in Potsdam, Germany (February 20, 2007) coming from German IT companies the ASG project receives increasing attention by the German IT industry. The final ASG industry workshop presented ASG concepts and demonstrated the ASG plattform prototype in addition to introducing into underlying and related technologiens such as SOA or the Semantic Web with Tutorials and dedicated talks. Opportunities for future application of developed technologies and the ASG service platform were discussed with almost all participants. Despite the fact that the ASG platform is far beyond real industry adoption and represents still an attractive vision parts of it received high interest by Germany IT companies such as the Software AG. Embedded in the final ASG project meeting (6th ASG week) this succesful event concluded the project after two and a half years of intense research and development.
