Even after four decades of rapid advances, computing is currently subject to revolutionary changes at all levels, including hardware, middleware, network infrastructure, but more importantly intelligent applications.

Emerging technologies such as the Semantic Web or Web Services transform the Internet from a network of information to a network of knowledge and services. The number of services which will be offered on the Internet is expected to rise dramatically in the next few years.
It is the mission of Service Web 3.0 to address these emerging developments and contribute to the implementation of framework programmes and their projects, and support the preparation of future community research and technological development.

Since the Spring of 2008, the European Commission has lead the collaborative research effort for the next generation of the Internet under the title "Future Internet;" Service Web 3.0 plays a pertinent role in the this collaborative effort, providing support and coordination of ongoing research and development in the area of networked services, and architectures, specifically those that utilize semantic technologies, towards the realization of the Future Internet.
