About THESEUS

THESEUS is a research programme initiated by the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology (BMWi), with the goal of developing a new Internet-based infrastructure in order to better use and utilise the knowledge available on the Internet. The programme duration is about 5 years. THESEUS is an umbrella organisation that unites researchers from the public and industry sectors, who are now collaborating to develop and design innovative basic technologies and technical standards and who will develop prototypes of the new technologies and test them in 6 application scenarios. One of these use cases is TEXO.

About TEXO

TEXO contributes to the service economy by creating infrastructure components for Business Webs in the Internet of Services. The goal of the research project TEXO is to provide a platform which makes services tradable on the Internet, composable into value-added services, and allows the integration of customised services into the environment of service consumers. The TEXO Use Case will help retrieve, coordinate, compose and access services. An implementation scenario could be the innovation, provision, trading, consumption and billing of services to support product engineers to enable faster innovation by taking new requirements into account. An example for such a service could be the certified calculation of a product eco value to be required by a new law. The engineer finds services by dragging-and-dropping of new requirements to the TEXO platform. He selects the most appropriate one, e.g., according to his preferences for a particular price model, he integrates the service on-the-fly into his own working environment, he consumes the service (i.e. calculating the eco value of the product) and finally he is billed by the service provider.
