Abstract

The THESEUS research program assembled key companies with market power from all types of sectors to jointly develop the innovative products that will enable the knowledge society. There have been carried out six use cases to demonstrate applications based on the developements of the THESEUS Core Technology Cluster. In this article, we will give a short overview of selected results of each use case.

    The use case was led by SAP and accompanied by industry partners such as Siemens and Attensity. Further industrial partners were Intelligent Views and ontoprise acting as solution and technology providers for semantic technologies (see also Kiss et al. 2014). In addition, there were a multitude of research centers including DFKI, Fraunhofer FOKUS, IAO, and IGD, and the FZI Karlsruhe. Finally, the Technical Universities of Dresden, Munich, Darmstadt and Karlsruhe complemented the consortium for basic research activities.

    In order to facilitate their applications and scenarios, Texo developed, provided and operated a dedicated testing infrastructure – the Texo Lab.

    The Life-DVD at http://serviceplatform.org/wiki/SPACEflight contains a selected number of the Texo platform software artifacts, including the USDL tool chain.
