Abstract

In this paper, we propose the integration of services into social networks (SOAF - Service of a Friend) to leverage the creation of the Internet of Services vision. We show how to integrate services and humans into a common network structure and discuss design and implementation issues. In particular, we discuss the required extensions to existing social network vocabulary with regard to services. We illustrate a scenario where this network structures can be applied in the context of service discovery and highlight the benefit of a service-enriched social network structure.
