This report describes the progress that has been achieved during the second year (full time equivalent 1 July 2006 - 1 July 2008) of our Ph.D. research. All the work has been built upon the achievements of the first year and confirmed that the original research objectives were correctly identified at the beginning of the research. We have successfully participated in the Ontology Mapping Evaluation Initiative 2006 and 2007 (2008 ongoing activity), which provided a qualitative comparison of our and other ontology mapping systems. Further it created a possibility to identify our future research work that needs to be carried out in order to achieve our original research objectives that were set out in the formal Ph.D. research proposal. The organization of this report corresponds to original research proposal. The last section describes the thesis outline.

Future Internet is...


Future Internet
With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not. Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume, and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society. Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and better utilisation of the Internet. Within Japan, USA and Europe major new initiatives have begun in the area.

To succeed the Future Internet will need to address a number of cross-cutting challenges including:

  • Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness

  • Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection

  • Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated

  • Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities

  • Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities
