Abstract
By the year 2010, the liberalization of Europe's utilities industry has
created a dynamic market of production, distribution and reselling
organizations
where quality of service, personalization and smart marketing, as well as
an attentive attitude towards ecology and preservation of resources play a
major
role. Advancement in information technology in domains such as remote
monitoring,
communication networks, security and control of distributed systems, as
well as innovative payment schemes enable new ways in which customers consume
and pay for their utility services. SHOPS has developed an open, crossdomain
and platform-neutral system for describing the services for different
equipment and applications. The developed technology allows the reduction of
the cost and time for launching new equipment and applications. SHOPS
architecture
is based on advanced communication networks and web technologies.
