Foreword
Today,itisalmostimpossibletorememberwhatlifewaslikewithnocomputer,nomobile
phone,and noInternetfor exchanging e-mails anddata. Organizations are doing business
witheachotherbyexchanging informationviatheInternet.Peoplearefillingintaxdecla-
rations online. Microcomputers are present in almost every electrically powered device we
buy and use;mostarecontrolled withdedicatedforms ofsoftware, which oftenenablethe
devicetobeadapted,configured,orupgradedinsomeway.Newapplicationareasandthe
expansionofnumbersandtypesofdevicesincreasethedemandformoreandnewservices.
Society is progressively using (and dependent on) software and services running on com-
puters, connecting mobile phones, and other devices, and exchanging information on the
Internet.
People like to shop and choose. Businesses and public administrations do this also. To-
day they obtain the most cost-e¤ective or ‘‘optimal’’ solution to meet their needs, even if
the match to needs is not perfect. Tomorrow, they may no longer have to compromise in
thisway.
Just imagine, from a consumer ‘‘demand’’ viewpoint, software that is provided as a ser-
vice and computing power that is provided on request—and both of these provided via a
communication network. Such an approach allows individuals and organizations to tap
into, and to e¤ectively harness, the immense wealth of information, knowledge, and ana-
lyticalresources as and when they need them, payingonly for what they use.
But what would this mean when seen from the supply side? What does it mean for you,
as the designers and suppliers of software and services?
As changing demands from society influence what software you develop and how you
develop it, you can expect your markets and the structure of your industry to evolve. Is it
not true that patterns of competition and business are changing rapidly? Itmay not yet be
so evident to people outside of the business, but the software industry itself is rapidly
restructuring.Forexample,newbusinessmodelsareemergingasanalternativetothebuy-

x Foreword
For Europe and for its software industry, I believe that such a restructuring of the mar-
ket and the industryrepresents a tremendous opportunity.
The European Community helps the industry to acquire more competitive positions by
co-funding research in the area of service-oriented computing. Our Sixth Framework Pro-
gramme for Research and Development (2002–2006) has invested more than 90 million
eurosinthisarea,whichhasledtojointprojectsofindustryandacademiainallEuropean
countries. In 2007, these e¤orts were reinforced with a further 120 million euros from our
newSeventh FrameworkProgramme.
This book presents the main results so far of European collaborative research in this
field. It tells a story of the great potential, and of the continued strength, of European
enterprises in many fields of software development. Just as ICT applications are drivers
for economic growth, new jobs, and development in all industry sectors, software and ser-
vices are key drivers for developments in ICT applications. Read on, and you will get a
goodglimpse of the technologiesthathelp shaping ourfuture.
