WISE Program Slogan and Key Objective
Everything-as-a-Service Engineering:
Designing intelligent software applications
for the web-based service economy.
What is Web-Based Service Economy ?
Everything-as-a-Service Engineering:
Designing intelligent software applications
for the web-based service economy.
Web-based service economy: emerging service industry on
top of the Internet of Services with global service delivery
platforms, which utilizes and expands Web 2.0 and future
network infrastructure (Internet of Things) [SAP, Amazon, eBay,
Google, Siemens, Philips, etc.]. According to SAP vision, the Webbased service economy in the Internet of Services will likely be
an integral part of future economic innovation, value creation,
growth, and employment:

What is Web Intelligence ?
WISE: Web Intelligence and Service Engineering
Web Intelligence: A new area (Web Intelligence) goes slightly
beyond the traditional AI and includes brain informatics, human
level AI, intelligent agents, social network intelligence, selfmanagement, etc., to the classical areas such as knowledge
engineering, representation, planning, discovery and data
mining. Combined with the Advanced Information Technology
(e.g. wireless networks, ubiquitous devices, social networks,
data/knowledge grids, SOA and Cloud Computing, etc.) the
Web Intelligence is becoming a powerful tool to manage the
emerging changes and challenges within the ICT domain, which
will be very useful for educating skillful service engineers.
Everything as a Service Provider
Everything-as-a-Service Engineering:
Designing intelligent software applications
for the web-based service economy.
1. Everything-as-a-Service-Provider
Here the knowledge and abilities of the graduates will target
the question: What (infrastructure, platforms, software,
interfaces, data, etc.) should be additionally provided to
make some product or system capable of performing its
functionality (data or capability) as a service for external
users, businesses or systems through the Web?
Everything as a Service Consumer
Everything-as-a-Service Engineering:
Designing intelligent software applications
for the web-based service economy.
2. Everything-as-a-Service-Consumer
Here the knowledge and abilities of the graduates will target
the question: How to design products and systems so that
they will be capable of automatic real-time discovery, query
and utilization of external data and capabilities for better
meeting their design objectives and beyond?
Everything as a Self-Service
Everything-as-a-Service Engineering:
Designing intelligent software applications
for the web-based service economy.
3. Everything-as-a-Self-Service
Here the knowledge and abilities of the graduates will target the
question: How to make systems self-aware, context-aware and
capable of self-configuration, self-optimization, self-protection and
self-healing while adapting their design objectives in real time to
changing execution environments according to the “Open World
assumption” (i.e., a system should be able to handle new
situations, which were not known during its design time)?
Program Mission and Learning
Outcomes
• On completion of the programme, the graduates:
– will be able to use and design complex self-managed Web-based public and
industrial systems, digital ecosystems, platforms, services and applications;
– will be able to connect their designs with publicly available data and Web-based
capabilities as services;
– will be able to figure-out and approach various challenging aspects of wicked
problems world-wide, which require self-managed service-based architectures
for their solutions;
– understand and professionally utilize for that purpose knowledge on enabling
technologies and tools;
– perform academic doctoral level studies;
– will be skilful in international communication due to the integrated language and
communication studies.
• Students, who will graduate from the programme with a Master of
Science in Natural Sciences from the Department of Mathematical
Information Technology, will think beyond the routine and will be
able not just to adapt to a change but to help to create and control it.
What is Digital Ecosystem ?
–
•
“… will be able to use and design complex self-managed Web-based public and
industrial systems, digital ecosystems, platforms, services and applications …”
Digital ecosystem is a distributed adaptive open socio-technical system
with properties of self-organization, scalability and sustainability inspired from
natural ecosystems. For example, digital ecosystems are extending ServiceOriented Architectures with distributed evolutionary computing, allowing
services to recombine and evolve over time, constantly seeking to improve
their effectiveness for the users. The digital ecosystem is a pervasive ICT
infrastructure with a particular architecture and framework, which exhibits
some characteristics of the natural ecosystems. It is considered a step
forward of internet, which instead of dealing with packets, carry knowledge
and services. For example a knowledge ecosystem is considered as a kind of
digital ecosystem and it is an alternative to the traditional knowledge
management approach (directive management) towards enabling selforganization and dynamic evolution of knowledge interaction between entities
(interlinked knowledge resources, databases, human experts, and artificial
knowledge agents) in response to changing environments.
Career Opportunities
• Software (Cloud) Service architects: designing the
technical infrastructures of service enabled applications.
• Enterprise architects: architecting and aligning enterprises
processes, structure, data and control.
• Web Service (IT) professionals: experts in the
development and composition of Web services into enterprise
applications.
• Big Data and Knowledge engineers, architects,
modelers and analysts: experts in Big Data, metadata and
ontology engineering, knowledge management, data and
knowledge integration and evolution, in constructing data-as-aservice solutions, data-intensive applications, expert-systems and
knowledge based-systems.
• Scientists (PhD program): graduates are well-prepared to
successfully pursue a career in academia.
