Joint work on Semantic Web Services Challenge (http://www.swschallenge.org). The overall goal of the SWS Challenge series of workshops is to
encourage development by requiring constructive demonstration, comparison, and evaluation of various technologies on standard
problems testing execution engines for (Semantic) Web Services. The ultimate purpose is to facilitate the automation of service-based
systems integration: i.e. mediation, choreography and discovery of services using semantic annotations.

Thesis: A Registry Based Approach to e-Business in the Agri-Food Sector.

Thesis deals mainly with the integration and heterogeneity issues across virtual supply chains. The thesis reviewed existing technologies for integration and proposed an innovative solution involving ebXML specification and especially ebXML registry/repository standards, which was adjusted to specific conditions shaping agri-food industry in Ireland. All the functionality of the delivered toolkit was analysed from the perspective of the requirements of the selected end-user an Irish manufacturer from the beverages sector.
