Next Generation Grids Report 2006
Future for European Grids: GRIDs and Service Oriented Knowledge Utilities –
Vision and Research Directions 2010 and Beyond, January 2006
Service-Oriented Knowledge Utility (SOKU)
A flexible, powerful and cost-efficient way of building, operating and evolving IT
intensive solutions for business, science and society.
¾ building on existing industry practices, and emerging technologies
¾ support ecosystems that promote collaboration and self-organization
¾ towards increased agility, lower TCO, broader availability of services for all
¾ empowering service providers, integrators and end-consumers of ICT
¾ (r)evolution of concepts from Web, Grid & Knowledge technologies
¾ as safe, ease und ubiquitous as existing utilities such as electricity or water

Towards Framework Programme 7
Vision from Grids to Service Oriented Knowledge Utilities
The architecture comprises
services which may be
instantiated and assembled
dynamically, hence the
structure, behaviour and
location of software is
changing at run-time
A utility is a directly and
immediately useable
service with established
functionality, performance
and dependability,
illustrating the emphasis
on user needs and issues
such as trust
Services are knowledgeassisted (‘semantic’) to
facilitate automation and
advanced functionality, the
knowledge aspect reinforced
by the emphasis on
delivering high level services
to the user
