It must become intuitively accessible to ordinary people and deliver sufficient value to justify the large investment needed for the upcoming information infrastructure. Technologies such as WWW and Java have taken the first giant step towards this direction, by addressing satisfactorily the problem of unified and hardware independent access to processing of information. Now the challenge is to build upon such technologies and provide the means to create integrated information services by organizing and structuring information data and various aspects of information processing. The goal of this consortium is to provide a set of ready to use software components and their interaction mechanisms (i.e. a framework) that will allow service providers to develop easily and in a timely manner environments that will support information processing services for the general public, and for a variety of application domains. The effectiveness of the proposed framework will be demonstrated by developing environments that support processing services in three different application domains: image processing services, workflow processing, and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) services (we could substitute at least one of these areas with an area of interest to the new partner). PARTNER PROFILE SEARCHED : The target partners (2 companies from 2 EU countries) could be: Framework software developers ; Image processing developers ; Workflow processing software developers ; Internet Services Providers who are expected to be the end users and facilitate the exploitation of the project results.
