Our solution, an innovative SOA technology that we apply to solve various B2B real-world scenarios wins the prize of 700€ at the industrial track of the ASWC in Bangkok, Thailand. The development of the underlying technology (called WSMX) started in early 2004 as part of the DERI and STI R&D activities, and starting from 2006 we significantly improved the technology by solving various real-world scenarios from B2B as defined by the SWS Challenge initiative. Apart from implementation and showcasing the benefits of the technology applied to the B2B (see details here), we also have a significant number of research papers that came out from this activity:

• Formal Model for Semantic-Driven Service Execution, International Semantic Web Conference (Karlsruhe, Germany, 2008) (se my talk and my previous post)
  
• WSMX Middleware for Dynamic Discovery in B2B Integration (demo), IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing (Santa Clara, USA, 2008),
• WSMX: a Solution for B2B Mediaion and Discovery Scenarios (demo), European Semantic Web Conference (Teneriffe, Spain, 2008),
  
• Execution Model for Heterogenoues Web Services, IEEE Congress on Services (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, 2008),
• Towards Constraint-Based Composition With Incomplete Service Descriptions, Workshop on Service Composition at the IEEE International Conferences on Web Intelligence (San Francisco, 2007, USA),
• Towards Optimized Data Fetching for Service Discovery, IEEE European Conference on Web Services (Halle, Germany, 2007),
• Towards Semantic Interoperability: In-depth Comparison of Two Approaches to Solving Semantic Web Service Challenge Mediation Tasks, Conference on Enterprise Information Systems (Madeira, Portugal, 2007),
  
• SESA: Emerging Technology for Service-Centric Environments, IEEE Software magazine (2007),
• Semantically-enabled Service Oriented Architecture : Concepts, Technology and Application, Service Oriented Computing and Applications Journal (2007),
• Semantic SOA to Promote Integration of Heterogeneous B2B Services, IEEE Conference on Enterprise Computing (Tokyo, Japan, 2007),
• Dynamic Service Discovery through Meta-Interatctions with Service Providers, European Semantic Web Conference (Innsbruck, Austria, 2007),
• WSMX: a Semantic Service Oriented Middleware for B2B Integration, International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (Chicago, USA, 2006),

My collaboration with Maciej Zaremba, co-architect and software engineer of the solution, turned out to be very successful: we managed not only to build the working solution for the B2B challenge scenarios but also publish the significant number of articles in very competitive research environments (acceptance rates  usually range from 15 to 20 percent).
