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.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
