KMi Seminars
A Semantic Web-Based Architecture for Analytical Tools
This event took place on Monday 21 February 2005 at 12:30

 
Denilson Sell

Denilson will present the results of his research work developed in KMi for the last year. This talk is also related to a paper submitted to a conference (IEEE CEC 05).

Despite the importance of analytical tools to organisations, they still lack the flexibility needed to solve the requests of decision makers. In this talk, we present how ontologies and semantic Web services were applied on the conception of an architecture for analytical tools. Our architecture provides a seamless integration of business semantics, data sources and services aiming to guide users in an interactive decision making process. In addition, we present OntoDSS, a prototype analytical tool based on this architecture that illustrates some of the functionalities that may be provided to decision makers within an application scenario

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
