A utility provides immediately useable services with established functionality, performance and dependability. Emphasis is on user needs and issues such as trust and security.

Services are knowledge-assisted (‘semantic’) to facilitate automation and advanced functionality. Knowledge technologies enable the delivery of high level services to the user.

Service-Oriented Knowledge Utility (SOKU)Service-Oriented Knowledge Utility (SOKU)

The architecture comprises services which may be instantiated and assembled dynamically. Hence, the structure, behaviour and location of software is changing at run-time.
