Task computing is a computatiοn to fill the gap between tasks (what user wants to be done), and services (functionalities that are available to the user). Task computing seeks to redefine how users interact with and use computing environments. It is built on pervasive computing.
A Task Computing Framework (TCF) is a framework that supports Task Computing, by providing support for:
This definition of a Task Computing Framework does not make reference to computational components. Here an embodiment of a Task Computing Framework will be referred to as a Task Computing Environment (TCE). A TCE is a computational system that includes, at a minimum, the following components:
Using Task Execution EditoR (STEER), embodiments of multiple Semantically Described Services and Service Controls the following applications are possible
