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.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
