Establishing Web services as resources on the Web opens up highly productive but challenging new possibilities for service economies. In addition, lifting services to the semantic level enables more sophisticated means for automating the service-related management processes and the composition of arbitrary functionality into new services and businesses. In this paper we present the SOA4All approach...
The Internet as we know it today is in an extending success: more than 1.3 billions people are connected to the Web across the globe and more than 700 EB of informations were created or replicated world wide. The development is driven by users, as well as by technology. Web 2.0 changed users to creators of content. Intelligent devices, clothes, fridges, machines and factories are connected and interact...
The current shift in realizing distributed applications by applying service-oriented principles translates into more and more web services being published on the Web each day. This introduces a set of new challenges such as how to organize, search, rank and select services. For ranking especially the use of any external information to the service, such as social information coming from Web2.0 sources...
Semantics has recently become a promising candidate panacea to computing scalability problems. However, this rather ambiguous candidacy title does not specify how this solution should be fulfilled, i.e. what steps must still be taken and which objectives must be implemented to provide truly scalable semantic computing platforms. The purpose of this conceptual roadmap is to address the scalability...
The World Wide Web is one of the ground-breaking achievements of modern computer science. The core technology, so simple to use, allows billions of users to publish, share and consume information from all over the world. The addition of so-called Web services that enable the remote execution of applications delivered a new dimension of communication, in particular in B2B and EAI systems. The same...
The "amount" of knowledge is constantly growing. Technological advances more and more facilitate an access to knowledge in an anytime, anywhere, and anyhow manner. The provision of accurate knowledge with respect to a requester's context gets more challenging. Explicit coordination of knowledge can be one means to address such developments. This report summarises several works and discussions...
The design and promotion of electronic patient summaries as an instrument to facilitate the pervasive delivery of healthcare is emerging as a key technology in eHealth solutions. From the technical point of view this requires powerful middleware systems supporting interoperability, multi-lingualism, security and patient privacy. In this paper we present a semantic coordination model and describe how...
One of the main items on the eHealth agenda of the European Community is the design and promotion of electronic patient summaries as an instrument to facilitate the pervasive delivery of healthcare, thus ensuring the right to patient mobility and increasing the productivity and quality of health service delivery. From a technical point of view this objective requires middleware technology which is...
The Diligent argumentation framework helps capture design deliberations in ontology-engineering discussions. It makes consensus-building tasks more efficient and provides detailed guidance for nonexperts. The semantic Web envisions an infrastructure in which humans and machines seamlessly exchange information on the Web. During the discussions participants raise new issues or elaborate on existing...
