Discovery of Heterogeneous Services
This event took place on Monday 13 June 2011 at 11:30

Alberto Fernandez Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain

The talk will deal with the problem of service discovery in open systems. Different service description languages are considered and integrated into a unified framework, which allows specifying advertisements and queries in any of those languages. Those models include semantic models (OWL-S, WSMO), syntactic (WSDL), hybrid (SAWSDL), as well as other lighter approaches (keyword-, cloud-, and text-based service descriptions). Service descriptions are mapped into a unified common model.We do not only consider explicit information specified in structured service descriptions, but we enrich descriptions with additional information extracted using text processing.Then, we will focus on the service matchmaking process. The proposed method combines classical logic-based semantic service matchmaking approaches with concept similarity measures.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
