Executive summary COMPOSE aims to bring about a new era in services based on the Internet of Things (IoT), making it simple to integrate the physical with the virtual world. COMPOSE achieves this through the provisioning of an open and scalable marketplace infrastructure, in which Smart Objects are associated to applications that can be combined, managed, and integrated to easily and quickly build innovative applications. The project has developed novel approaches for virtualising Smart Objects into readily usable Service Objects that can be advertised, searched for, and combined with other Service Objects to form novel applications. To this end the project devised solutions for semantically enhancing smart objects and applications, secure and privacy-preserving data aggregation and distribution, dynamic service composition, advertising, discovering, provisioning, and monitoring. COMPOSE aims to facilitate a new business ecosystem targeted mainly towards SMEs, by democratizing the use of smart objects via an open cloud based platform.

This represents the beginning of an ongoing database compilation of target firms both in the Middle East region and around the world that have demonstrated a foreign investment interest and whose sectoral activities fit the comparative advantages of the West Bank and Gaza. This activity was carried out from April to June 2002, during an especially unstable political time in the West Bank and Gaza. Because of this exceedingly difficult situation two elements of the initial scope of work could not be accomplished; training of Palestinians at TSG headquarters and a comprehensive telephone survey of prospective investors.
